Inworld PR & Networking für eLearning-Projekte in Second LifeDörte Giebel
Als eLearning-Expertinnen und Experten in virtuellen Welten wünschen wir uns Austausch mit Gleichgesinnten, suchen nach neuen Partnern für innovative Projekte, nach Teilnehmern, Kunden, Finanziers usw. Doch was tun wir dafür? Vor allem: Was tun wir inworld dafür? Nehmen wir Second Life als eigenständigen öffentlichen Raum wahr, an dem Networking oder gar PR aktiv betrieben werden kann – oder ist SL nur ein Ort, an den wir uns gezielt begeben, um zu tun, was vorab outworld verabredet wurde? Welche 2D-Web-Kanäle nutzen wir, um unsere SL-Aktivitäten publik zu machen, und das Renomée unserer Inworld-Arbeit zu stärken?
Dies sind nur ein paar Impulsgebende Gedanken, um zu umreißen, wozu ich im Arbeitskreis "eLearning in virtuellen Welten" von SLTalk & Partner am 14. Januar 2010 die Diskussion angeregt habe.
Teaching Adults: What trainers need to knowDanielleHazen1
Teaching adults isn’t
like teaching children. What we learn in childhood forms the foundation of what we learn as
adults. Our life experiences can add to that, thus creating a substantial
reservoir of information.
Developing insight into how adults learn helps trainers become more
successful.

Introduction
In order to fully understand student development, one must first understand a
child’s cognitive development. Cognitive theorist, Jean Piaget, is perhaps the most
influential researcher on child development. Piaget’s cognitive developmental theory
states that, “children actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their
world” (Berk, 2013, p. 18). In his cognitive development theory, Piaget breaks down the
development into four stages: sensorimotor (birth-2 years), preoperational (2-7 years),
concrete operational (7-11 years), and formal operational (11 + years). It is important to
note that while Piaget heavily influenced research on child development, his theory has
the field divided (Berk, 2013). Another researcher of human development, Lev
2
Vygotsky, focused on sociocultural theory and how culture; the values, beliefs, customs,
and skills of a social group, is transmitted to the next generation and how these factors
also affect a child’s development (Berk, 2013). While Vygotsky agreed with Piaget that
children are active, constructive beings, Vygotsky viewed “cognitive development as a
socially mediated process, in which children depend on assistance from adults and more-
expert peers as they tackle new challenges” (Berk, 2013, p. 23). A third researcher in the
field, Urie Bronfenbrenner, developed the ecological systems theory, which views the
person “as developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple
levels of the surrounding environment” (Berk, 2013, p. 24). His theory is broken into
four systems: the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, and the marcosystem.
All of this is to say, it is not simply enough to know one theory and believe we
have sufficient information to be successful educators in student’s lives. Therefore, as
practicing educators and counselors, we must stay abreast of all child development
theories so we may better serve our students’ needs.
Quality Indicator 1 - : Human Growth and Development: The professional school
counselor demonstrates knowledge of human development and personality and how
these domains affect learners, and applies this knowledge in his or her work with
learners.
Students at different ages, in different stages in life, and raised in different
cultures experience life differently. For example, a student wh.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
