Welcome to Information Literacy week in Second Life!

Information Literacy Week in Second Life 2009 is over! It took place 9-15th November 2009, and on this home page is a little discussion, plus a flickr stream from the event. Please add links and photos of the event if you create or come across them .

This ning was created for sharing information about activities and events in Information Literacy Week in Second Life. The event was about information literacy (basic concept defined on the left) and it happened in Second Life, the virtual world. Anyone can look at the ning pages, but you have to join up in order to add an event, comment etc.

We are aiming to have an Information Literacy Week 2010 - watch this space! In the meantime, though, the ning can be used by its members to share, publicise, discuss things related to information literacy and Second Life (or other virtual worlds).

If you have arranged an event or activity that is relevant to information literacy or digital literacy and Second Life - please add it as an Event: Click on "Add an event" in the Event box. Note that all events should be listed in Second Life Time : this is the same as US Pacific Time. You can use a tool like the Personal World Clock to match SL time and the time in your country. If you have problems in adding an event, please contact me at s.webber@sheffield.ac.uk

Information Literacy is for everyone, so this ning is for everyone; just keep it relevant to information literacy in SL. You can set up groups (if there is a special interest e.g. a language or subject interest) or discussion threads, add events, photos etc.
The event tag for blogs, twitter etc. etc. for the 2009 Information Literacy week was ILinSL09

Coursework writing is really not a peanut as I took it in the beginning when I was assigned a college coursework. It was really tough to find coursework help, even online coursework help. But you know internet is a magical world, sooner or later you come to the right place. So did I when I started searching online coursework help. But it took a lot of time of mine to find the exact material for writing my college coursework.

It is very essential to have the correct guidelines for writing… Continue

Speech Writing: How To Write A Good One?

Speech writing is in lots of ways similar writing a paper, apart from that there is no penalty for spelling and punctuation mistakes. You should not try to write words in your speech that you are not relaxed pronouncing or don't know the meaning of because it can lead to a less fluently delivered speech.

To be able to write a high-quality speech is a lot like making a good cake. Having the right elements is key for it's success. Every… Continue
