The Story of My “Second Life”

This is a special week for us at ISTE – we have TWO Speakers Series presentations for you!

The first is tomorrow, Tuesday, April 22nd at 6:00 pm SLT at the ISTE Island Auditorium where Konrad Glogowski (SL: Konrad March) will explore some of the key findings of his recently completed doctoral dissertation on classroom blogging communities. Specifically, he will discuss the impact of blogging communities on the role of the teacher and the implications of this impact for teacher professional development. Konrad will also discuss The Virtual Classroom Project, his current professional development initiative on the island of jokaydia in Second Life. This will be a voice presentation, please be sure you have a working voice setup prior to the event.

Then, on Thursday April 24th at 3:00 pm SLT (note the EARLIER than usual starting time!) at the ISTE Beach/Campfire Area we will be hosting Pastrami Linden who will discuss optimizing the new Windlight viewer, particularly for older hardware. For those of you who haven’t seen it, Torley Linden’s Graphics Preferences Guide video tutorial shows what just about each and every option does, and might be good to review in advance (but is not required.) This will be a voice presentation, please be sure you have a working voice setup prior to the event.

See you … at both sessions!
