Tom Werner is the god of workplace/virtual world info. He did a free webinar on the topic just recently which I kick myself hard for missing. The phrase “3-D:In it, not looking at it” has to be at the top of my list for believing so strongly in virtual worlds in community college education. [...]

I sat on a panel discussion today about groups that support teaching and learning in SL. I was on the panel with so many incredible people. 140 avatars showed up for the discussion and it was, to put it mildly, a zoo! It was really fun. I had some issues with my chat [...]

Alright, so, I pole danced for charity…I am proud of it! (well, not really, but it was for the Libraries in Second [...]

I’ve never presented to such a large group in SL (35!) and am still clueless as to why so many would want to hear about my work. I am heartened that there is so much interest in the work of the community college in virtual worlds. I am totally motivated to write that next [...]

This machinima was created in Second Life by an undergrad class in the Communications and Media department at one of the NYU’s. This incredible piece of work speaks for itself.

I’ve been asked to give a talk in the ISTE Speaker Series about community colleges and Second Life. Now that the date approaches (June 10) I’m giving in to panic and just a little smidge of excitement. What can I tell this enormous group of K-12 educators about the benefits of virtual worlds [...]

Sometimes the You Tube comments are just so spot-on that they are better than the videos. Vollee just released a Second Life client for mobile devices with the iPhone version coming soon.
