Hey, all, I posted this at ISTE SIGVE's wiki, but you can visit it at its home at internetarchive.org. BTW this is a great site for repository of your videos, audios, and any other media you need a home for. See http://www.archive.org/details/IsteSigveSpeakerSession8-DavidGardner_349 for a one hour, nine minute experience featuring VenueGen's CEO David Gardner. It was an excellent evening...

Cheers,
Scott
Just came across my desk in the course of learning more about virtual worlds: http://www.gabrielbur.info/index.php?key=Virtual+Worlds&page=1 has what looks like hundreds of video resources pertaining to our topic of interest. Wow.

Delete CommentEVENT 9/27 in SL: Calling all virtual world educators 5PM SLT! It's time to roll up our sleeves and take the LEAD in designing our dream virtual world platform for education. All voices are welcome as Peggy Sheehy introduces Pleiades - one fabulous development team who have stepped up to the "education plate" and want to hear from YOU! The time is ripe and the opportunity is now! Let your voices be heard on Atlantis Rising Campus for NEXT generation of possibilities! http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eduisland%206/60/157/6
Hey all, I won't always do this, but if a post over at Oh!VirtualLearning relates to work in education and may be a preview of a VEEV I'll call yr attention to it here. This recent post is one of them, and is particularly timely, I feel, to those of us beginning to process the ramifications of Linden Lab's recent announcement that the Teen Grid will close on this coming New Year's Eve...
This feels kind of like moving into a new home, so much so that it IS moving into a new home. VEEM has served us all for a couple of years and I hope that moving it here to grou.ps will continue to serve us. I'm going to look into making ads disappear, and I'm going to let my http://virtualenvironmentvideo.net lapse, because this URL says it quite nicely at no expense. Until or unless the ads do go by the wayside, my apologies for any that are offensive, greedy, or otherwise bothersome. Some are quite nice, I'd say: Who doesn't like a free Wendy's Spicy Chicken Sandwich!

Anyway, let's continue to spread the word. And I encourage one and all to get thee over to the ISTE SIGVE wiki and join that. You DON'T have to be an ISTE member to join our Special Interest Group for Virtual Environments, and that wiki is chocked FULL of valuable resources and networking opps.

Cheerio,
Scott
Hey ya'll,

If you're a member of the International Society for Technology in Education please please please visit http://tinyurl.com/voteforscottm to cast your vote for little old me. I believe I can be a very vocal advocate for virtual environments (and other radical systemic change in the way we do education) if I have the opportunity to serve on the board.

I know from experience that it's easy to let the deadline pass (this year April 12), so PLEASE pop on over to iste.org and cast your vote! Know any other ISTE members who don't frequent VEs? Please pass the URL to them and vouch for your old buddy Scott as you do it!

Thanks!

Hey, ya'll, Just to let you know, I'll be appearing again on the bi-weekly SL talk show, "ISTE Eduverse Talks" next Tuesday night at 5 pm SLT. This time, I'll be chatting with host Kevin Jarrett (KJ Hax) and educational consulting and facilitating MUVErs LLC partners Cathy Walker (padlurowncanoe Dibou) and John Miller (JS Vavoom), who will be fresh from their 5th presentation journey in the last few months (the Summer Institute in Nursing Informatics in Baltimore, Maryland). Cathy and John knocked 'em out at the Second Life Playground and other venues at NECC09 early July, and we'll all be talking about what brought us together to form our own company around the potentials virtual worlds have to offer educators. Please come join us if you can! Past shows of ISTE Eduverse Talks, including show number 7, my first appearance, are available in video format at the ISTE Eduverse Talks website.
