My visit to the Temple of Portunus gave me an up close view of history. To understand what this world had to offer, I had to brush up on my history. This brief video from Kahn Acadamy, shed some light on my visit. Most interesting to me was the history of the Domas Romana. The notecard I was given taught me of the purposes of the building including how the design provided built in security.
This was an amazing adventure. I could only imagine how amazing it would be to teach about a subject, then have my students interact with artifacts in Second Life. The places really come to life.
Just as suggested in Gamifying Education I was intrigued by what I was briefly exposed to so much that I had to learn more after my quest. Excellent way to get the information out to students without hitting them over the head with it.
