The first ever annual international Second Life Best Practices in Education conference is happening in-world on May 25. UTD (the university Darren and I work for) will be attending as exhibitors. Unfortunately (or fortunately) we won’t be able to attend since we’ll be at a (1st life) conference, but our wonderful co-worker and virtual architect Erin (SL: Serinity Gaea) will represent us.
Anyway, if your academic institution would like to attend and/or be an exhibitor, more information can be found at the url here.
Howdy folks! I’m an Instructional Designer at UT Dallas. I have a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education from Angelo State University and a Master’s in Computer Education and Cognitive Systems from the University of North Texas. I’ve been working in edtech for 11 years. Hmm… what else? I’m a *huge* fan of that little Irish band called U2, and I’m a bigtime Firefly/Serenity advocate.
