Back in December, technology teacher, Marianne Malmstrom, and eighth-grade students, Zoe Homonoff, Bryan Rubin and Jaeho Lee, participated in a conference called, 21st Century Learning: Virtual Worlds, Real Learning, held at Kean University (Union, NJ). The three eighth graders gave a presentation entitled: Machinima: Gamer Videos Go To School.
Jaeho Lee: “In our presentation, we talked about what Machinima is, and the many projects we have made with Machinima in Teen Second Life. We talked about the Greek Gods project (done in conjunction with sixth grade) as well as the commercials that we made to advertise businesses we created in Teen Second Life. We also gave a tour of our private island in Teen Second Life, showed the process of making a Machinima video and the hard work involved."
