Next Teachers Buzz 30 Apr 6pm PDT: Researching SL

Corwin Carillon (aka Nick Noakes) : Apr 24, 2007 12:23am

Please join us on the NMC’s Teaching 3 island on Mon 30 Apr at 6pm PDT / SLT for a discussion facilitated by three researchers working actively in-world: KJ Hax, Victoria Gloucester (Catherine Parsons in RL) and Clare Lane.

KJ (aka Kevin Jarrett) received a grant from Walden University to research best teaching and learning practices in SL with former MSEd student, Clare. Victoria has been working in SL since the fall of 2006 and is currently doing her doctoral research on learning communities in Second Life. Learn about their exploration of the main and teen grids.

Also learn about the Center for Advanced Virtual Education (C.A.V.E.), a complex on EduIsland II combining fantastic free educational resources and a critical mass of some very well known educationalists and educational bloggers (Kathy Schrock, Annette Lamb, David Warlick, Andy Carvin, Will Richardson, Doug Johnson … and more to come!)

Please note: These sessions are recorded and the chat transcripts are placed on the NMC Campus Wiki.
