Kristallnacht 1938, US Holocaust Memorial Museum

Witness Stories: This environment was inspired by the stories of Kristallnacht survivors. Explore and touch everything.

Information Tag: Jews were required to write their names on their windows prior to Kristallnacht.

Propaganda: This caricature of Herschel Grynszpan, the Jewish assassin of Ernst vom Rath, was on the cover of Der Stürmer in December 1938. The caption reads,

'Jewish Murderer/Despicable Jewish deeds besmirch the land

In which the Jewish murderer was accorded the rights of a guest

You have given the murderous people a free path

If you treat the criminal like a human being!'

Renaissance Island

by Baroness Anne de Darcy (Amza Hydraconis)

When Renaissance Island was created back in the beginning of the year 2007, no one had any idea how long it would last. Now in our 11th year, Renaissance Island has gone through quite a few changes as SL grew and improved. Created by librarians, Renaissance Island is akin to a classroom sim open to scholars of the Renaissance and/or Tudor period.

Most recent changes made were to make it more authentic in how a small English village looked. (Although, an explanation is needed as to why the Globe Theatre is in a small English village.)

There are currently 3 exhibits: printing, weaving and a bakery. More exhibits are being planned as of this writing.

The below SLURL will drop you in front of the Boar's Head Inn where storytelling and music occurs. Please feel free to explore the region at your leisure.

Architectural style/ 建築様式

〇Ancient Roman architecture/ ローマ建築：6世紀BC～4世紀AD

ローマン・コンクリート（Roman concrete）、オーダー（Classical order）、アーチ（Arch）、トンネル・ヴォールト

It used new materials, particularly Roman concrete, and newer technologies such as the arch and the dome to make buildings that were typically strong and well-engineered

〇Romanesque architecture/ ロマネスク建築：1000-1200 AD

古代ローマの影響。石造りの分厚い壁、多数の小さな窓、半円アーチ、豪華な柱頭

massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy pillars, barrel vaults, large towers and decorative arcading

大きな窓とステンドグラス、尖頭アーチ(Pointed arch)、リヴ・ヴォールト式天井、飛び梁(Flying buttress)、尖塔（pinnacle）。ノートルダム大聖堂。houzz

the pointed or ogival arch. The use of the pointed arch in turn led to the development of the pointed rib vault and flying buttresses, combined with elaborate tracery and stained glass windows

Rocca Sorrentina- 18th century fictional Italy

Rocca Sorrentina is a project of Brown University, featuring a representation of a fictitious but historically-plausible 18th century island community, located in the Bay of Naples, off the coast of the Sorrento region in southern Italy. We are seeking to interpret and better understand various aspects of the Enlightenment and the era of the "Grand Tour" as they were manifested in Italy in the latter part of the 1700's.

There are three general areas of interest in the two regions:

1. THE OOC ENTRY PLATFORM AND EXHIBIT HALLS (Rocca Sorrentina)

Second Life: Rocca Sorrentina (85,175,2801)

The Entry Platform contains

• An Orientation area with free 18th century clothing

• the Showcase Gallery, which mounts regular shows of paintings, photographs and other artistic creations by residents and other Second Life artists.

* Two exhibit halls which contain informative displays and museum-quality exhibits highlighting important aspects of 18th century history, literature, culture, and ideas.

2. ISLAND-LEVEL AREAS (Rocca Sorrentina)

Handout for the Education Portal

Developed by Greg Perrier
Northern Virginia Community College

Introduction

Welcome to the Education Community Portal. Contained on the 10 levels of this tower is the collective knowledge of a group of people on how to use virtual worlds as an effective educational tool. It allows you to see what other educators are doing, to examine the different tools and interactive objects used for education, to review the different ways educators use virtual worlds, and to understand the many lessons learned from years of using virtual worlds as an educational tool. There is a huge amount of information available at the portal and it is impossible to absorb it all in one or two visits. The portal is a resource that one visits repeatedly as their understanding of education in virtual worlds develops.

The portal does not offer a basic orientation on how to operate in a virtual world. It is assumed you have completed such an orientation. If you still need to visit such an orientation, there are panels that will take you to orientation regions on the second level (Ground 2). There are instructions in the Ground 2 section below on how to use these panels to move (teleport) to different regions in Second Life and return to the Education Portal.

This handout is meant to be a reference to help you quickly find information on a specific topic. It covers what topics are covered on each of the 10 levels. Each level is a ring and the information is organized in a clockwise direction starting at the landing site. Several levels have circles in the middle of the ring where additional information is available.

On each level you will find a bright pink cone pointing up. Left click on this to teleport up one level. On the floors above the lowest level, you will also see a bright light blue cone pointing down, left clicking on this moves you down one level. Click on the square to see an image.

Chinese – English Conversation

Activity 20 – Chinese – English Conversation

Developed by Dali Tan and Greg Perrier

Introduction

In this activity a Chinese language student from NOVA and an English language student from China will meet and talk, first in Chinese for at least 5 minutes and then in English for at least 5 minutes. Besides developing a greater proficiency in the language you are studying, you should develop a deeper understanding of the other student’s culture and lifestyle.

The Forest Ecology Activity

Handout for the Forest Ecology Activity

Developed by Dr. Greg Perrier, NOVA

Introduction

NOVA has a campus in a virtual world called Second Life (SL). On this virtual campus there is a forest very similar to the forests you would see on the real NOVA campuses. Because of the high tick population with the corresponding risk on Lyme’s disease we have stopped taking students into the real forest, but we can still conduct interactive forest ecology activities in the forest on NOVA’s Second Life campus. In this activity you will collect data on the number of trees by species in three different plots and from this data will be able to determine relative frequency, relative density, and relative basal area for the different tree species. For Bio 102 classes, you will be provided with an Excel Program that does these calculations for you and you need only interpret the results. For an Ecology class, you will be asked to do these calculations.

Handout for the Chinese Language Activity

Developed by Dr. Greg Perrier and Dr. Dali Tan, NOVA

Introduction
For this activity you will be visiting Chinese Island, part of the virtual campus of Monash University in Melbourne Australia. Kaylee West is the avatar name of the Chinese language professor at Monash University who manages Chinese Island. Your Chinese language professor will provide you with detailed instructions on what you are to do at the Chinese Island.

The Geology of the Grand Canyon

Activity 19 - The Geology of the Grand Canyon

Prepared by Greg Perrier, NOVA

Introduction

NOVA has a campus in a virtual world called Second Life. In this activity you will travel on this campus to a model of the Grand Canyon found in Arizona and examine the different sedimentary strata that form the wall of the canyon. By the time you finish this activity you should have a much better understanding and appreciation of this amazing geological feature.

GENOME Island

Guide to Genome Island

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Genome/119/144/53
Welcome to Genome!. Genome island is a place to explore genetics. As Dr. Norval Kneten, Dean of Science and Humanities at Texas Wesleyan (Now President of Barton College) used to say "Science is the next best thing to recess!" The island was designed to support genetics classes for university undergraduates studying biology, but anybody interested in science is welcome to come and play.
