SECOND LIFE, NOT THE WEBSITE

SECOND LIFE CAN MEAN SO MUCH
I am happy to be starting this MA in Environmental Education and Communication from the School of Environment and Sustainability from Royal Roads University. This blended interactive program feels in harmony with sustainability, allowing myself and my cohort to live in Madagascar just as we could live in Danemark, Melbourne or Albuquerque, while still learning as a group, and communicating as well. The combination of intensive classes on campus with online classes, forums, team work via software that allows raising the hand (!) and sharing views and opinions through icons and microphones, while having the instructor's input and Ok for writing on the black board... Well, for the moment, I am slowly discovering all of this and it feels very well structured and exciting.

I am diving into the student -learner- universe, and loving it.

I have homework to do, and will be trading in my Robert for Collins and take a flight for that other end of Canada, that sometimes confuses us, here in the Quebec Francophone province of this vast country. After that short stay in Victoria will be a so far unknown destination. Crucial condition : access to a very reliable internet connection and secondly, feel as far and destabilized as can be, while feeling at home...
