Education in virtual/real worlds

In real life (RL) my name is Teresa Bettencourt. I’m a PhD teacher at University of Aveiro, in the Department of Didactics and Educational Technology (DTE). I’m also the assistent secretary of the Research Centre for Didactics and Technology in Teacher Education (CIDTFF). My research concerns are related to the educational potential of ICT on initial teacher training. I’m quite an old in this field! I started with DOS along time ago! Now my interests converge to Second Life, as an enriched virtual world and environment that can enhance our actual teaching and learning models! This picture it’s me in Second Life and was taken at the garden of my SL home.
