Decorating for Christmas

I decorated my castle (in the sky above my cave on Logres) for Christmas and held a couple of open houses for SL-NET members.  Not many people came to the one today.  I’m thinking of scheduling a couple more before the holidays end.

Limitations of Second Life in Education

Here’s a section of the video from our IT 6750 group’s presentation that I narrated about the limitations of Second Life in Education:

Presenting at Conferences

I’ve been thinking lately that I’d like to try presenting at a conference or two next year. There are a few scheduled that I should be able to attend:

• Colorado TELECOOP, April 16-18, Breckenridge (proposals due January 26)
• Colorado Community College Conference on Composition, April 18, Greeley (proposals due January 31)
• Teaching with Technology Idea Exchange 2008, June 5-6, Orem, Utah (proposals due Feburary 1)

Obviously, I’ll have to choose between the TELECOOP Conference and the 5Cs. Why did they have to schedule them at the same time?

Hallelujah!

Our team has finished our presentation for IT 6750. It was great working with Alex and Blake to analyze the trend of using virtual worlds, specifically Second Life, in higher education and corporate training.

Presentation on Second Life and Education

I have to confess that I haven’t watched the presentation yet, but I’m sure that if Laura was involved, it will be very informative.
