About Me
- Alicia Barbitta - Wonderalica in SL
- I am an EFL and now ESP teacher trainer. I run my own school where my focus is giving training to adults on Business and Technical English. I love exploring Online Educational Tools and I am experiencing the use of Second Life for teaching purposes since 2006 thanks to 'Webheads' who introduced me to this fantastic virtual world. Since November 2008 I'm participating in an International Training Course for Teachers on MUVE.(Virtual Worlds). I'm excited about the experience I am gaining through this sharing with people from many parts of the world.

Hi, Alicia. It was great to see you on TV! Hugs from Argentina, Nelba Aeon
Once again journalists can't simply do a feature on education in Second Life - because that just wouldn't be newsworthy. It's disappointing to see more time being given to a 'technology psychologist' rambling on about how many US marriages are born of online relationships than to Alicia's chat about the good things connected to education. One day, we hope, one journalist will just take SL at face value instead of injecting it with the 'it's also full of crackpots' pop psychology side of things...
Hi Gavin,
It's true, but worse was from the journalist point of view. He knew 'nothing' about Second Life. He openly admitted to me before the interview but he kept insisting on the 'yellow press' as the psichologyst mentioned about. Anyway he tried to make people understand that behind these programmes there are people who are highly educated to manage and take advantage of these fruitful worlds. Anyway I'm happy to think that one day my grandchildren, or gran-gran children will watch this video and would say: look at our granny! How advanced she was..it must have been difficult for her to make people understand what she was pursuing '.....and they'll be managing virtual worlds instead of javascript:void(0)F2F classes as a normal activity.
Tks for your words!
