Bright Ideas: Using the MyNotes Profile Tab for Class Management
Sometimes a little thing can mean so much. If you’ve taught in Second Life then you know how aggravating it can be to try to remember which SL student is which RL student. As if remembering all their RL names wasn’t tough enough! Add to that all the notes about class participation, project progress etc and you’ve got a whole lot of information to store somewhere. Here’s a tip that some of you might have already discovered. But hey! If you haven’t, you may just find it useful.
On each avatar’s profile is a tab called “My Notes.” This last tab on the profile allows you to type up information about another person which will only be visible to you.
Using the My Notes tab to keep track of RL names and other class info can save you a lot of headaches. And rest assured that no one else can see it so you can feel comfortable storing student grades etc.
Using the My Notes tab for class information? As Martha would say, it’s a good thing.
