Virtual FSCJ Business Education Center and Outdoors Classrooms in Second Life 2009.

Second Life platform (https://secondlife.com) was used to create a virtual community for Florida State College at Jacksonville back in 2009. Parts of this FSCJ Virtual Second Life College were our Business Education Center and Outdoors Classrooms. It had a conference classroom with interactive walls to show presentations, an outdoors circular classroom around a campfire, and an outdoors field with a Likert scale. We used avatars for students and the professor. We were already in our ancient Metaverse. #OutdoorsLearning #OutdoorsClassrooms #SecondLifeVirtualCollege #SecondLifeBusinessEducationCenter

FSCJ Virtual Second Life Business Education Center included a large conference table and interactive walls for presentations. This example show Business Club Fall Events and our drawing about the S-curve of Change #josetoons.

Outdoors Classroom included a person size Lickert scale space. Students used this space to answer specific questions by moving their avatar to the specific answer space.

Web Development. Back to HTML Basics.

We started creating webpages with HTML before the graphic browsers were in the market. When Mosaic was released in 1993 we were working on one of the online services converting files to the new visual platform. This is a sample of one of our first webpages that still can be found in webpages archives. HTML evolved and easy to program software and templates came. Fundamental HTML coding was and still is very important to understand how webpages are organized and displayed. 

It is time to go back to HTML Basics to understand the fundamentals of Web Development.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is an international community where Member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public work together to develop Web standards.

W3 Schools is a school for web developers, covering all the aspects of web development.

#StayAtHome Calendar “Region of Valencia in 30 days”

#StayAtHome has been the hashtag during the alarm time in Spain for the Coronavirus (COVID-19). Different initiatives have emerged to motivate people to make virtual visits to museums and places of interest. Our proposal is a calendar of sites and activities in the #RegionOfValencia. For several years we have visited cities and towns in the provinces of Castellón, Valencia, and Alicante. During the Cultural Tourism Specialization Course and our Geolocalization of Jewish Quarters project in the Valencian Community, we had the opportunity to explore cities and towns with a broader perspective on geography, history, customs, and traditions.

We invite you to locate these images and inquire about them during this time at home. Discover and learn something new, and share your images, videos, links about what you have learned on social networks. Educate your family and friends and use # MediterraneanLive and #CulturalTourism. This initiative is part of our global travel plan #TravelExploreDiscoverLearnEducate.

We have a great opportunity to collaborate in recovering tourism. Start planning your trips and travel again. # ThisTooShallPass #WeWillTravelAgain
