A selection of photos from a couple of
the conference venues:
Applying Distance Educational Theory
to Virtual Worlds
Presented by Rebecca Hedreen
Virtual Worlds for Children
Presented by Fleet Goldenberg
Fleet discussed virtual worlds for
children including Whyville, Furcadia,
and others. The fastest growing
population in virtual worlds is kids,
teen and tweens. Fleet will talk about
what these virtual worlds have to offer
and what if any education activities are
happening.
Education on the Teen Grid: The View
from Eye4You Alliance Island
Presented by Kelly Czarnecki (Bluewings
Hayek in SL), Anthony Curtis (Stone
Semyorka in SL), and Beth Kraemer (Alice
Burgess in SL)
Buzz Session
Facilitated by Nick Noakes and Alan
Levine
The buzz session discussion was
(loosely) structured around two
questions:
1. Have you used library support inside
or outside SL for your SL teaching? If
you have, in what ways?
2. What types of library support and
integration in SL would you like to see?
Using Second Life Tools to Enhance
Exhibits
Presented by Abbey Zenith and Bucky
Barkley
Abbey and Bucky will discussed how
libraries, education, and museums
converge in Second Life and are enhanced
by the use of tools created in-world. To
illustrate this they will have small
demo exhibits and examples of the
scripted tools used to develop the
exhibits. Bucky, the creator of these
tools, will describe how they work and
Abbey will talk about how they have used
them and how others may use them in
libraries, education, and museum
settings.
And other presentations...
