Today I met up with Ann Enigma, or in real life, Hilary Mason from Johnson and Wales University. We chatted on NMC Campus at Research Park, enjoying the peaceful serenity inside the Biosphere dome. Listen to our audio recorded interview (we talked using the new Voice Chat, which was flawless!).

At today's Posters on the Green Session we took advantage of one group of presenters from University of Maryland University College (UMUC) who were ready with their audio equipped Second Life clients and recorded this audio interview with Julie Commons (RL Gilliam), Kathleen Maloney (RL Puckett), LaTonya Carter (RL Dyer), and Joanna Foden (RL Zhang).
Their poster is on "Using Simulations To Enhance Online Learning" and provides an overview of three different online simulations created at UMUC for online programs:

A few days ago I had the fortune to catch up and chat with one of the real forces in education in Second Life, the dashing Desideria Stockton, or as she prefers to be called, "Desi". In real life, she is Beth Ritter-Guth, Women's Studies and English Faculty at Lehigh Carbon Community College in Pennsylvania. We were able to meet up for this audio interview over in one of the studio spaces inside the Machinima Studio on NMC Campus at ... more » »

The name does not exactly roll easily off the tongue.. but it will be worthy joining Blogsar Monday, 9:00 AM PDT (check your local time) for our next NMC Teachers Buzz Session. Better known in the education technology as the RL avatar Will Richardson, Blogsar is relatively new to Second Life, and looking to probe it more by talking with other educators.

Last night we interviewed for the NMC Studio One series, Jeremy Braver, who has a Real Life avatar named Jeremy Koester, an 8th grade math teacher from San Antonio Texas. As we had planned to talk a bit about the potential of machinima in Second Life, we had planned to meet on NMC Campus at the new Machinima Studio on Learning.

As it turns out, Jeremy arrived on time, but the grid was acting goofy, and I could ... more » »

We are long overdue to pick up the microphones and do another NMC Campus Studio One interview. Today, I talked (via Skype for audio) with Alpine Tendaze, a.k.a. Brent McConnell, who is an teacher with the Dubai American Academy. For me, it was 10:00 am while Brent was calling at 9:00 pm at night, but it was a nice sunny spot where we chatted on NMC Campus.

It's been a while since we've conducted a Studio NMC audio interview. Serendipity was working for us as we had an opportunity to be working with the Real Life representation of avatar Gudand Hao, who is scheduled to be our guest for the February 5 meeting of the NMC Campus Teachers Buzz.

Today, our Studio NMC took its audio equipment on the road, and we visited with Jeremy Kemp (Jeremy Kabumpo in SL) over at his Heart Murmur Simulation site, located in the Waterhead region of Second Life (find it via a slurl), which turns out to be some prime real estate, near Welcome Island and Path Finder Linden's neighborhood.
Jeremy "Kabumpo" Kemp... maybe his tag line is, 'I'm not a Doctor and I don't play one in Second Life'

Today's Studio NMC interview was with Lorenzo Stork (a.k.a Larry Miller, form University of Tennessee). We met up this morning in Second Life, and when I asked him for a favorite spot I could take a photo, his reply was, "You know, I really like to fly!"
In the audio interview below, Lorenzo share his obvious excitement for Second Life, and some of the places he has discovered on his explorations. He was especially intrigued by the Idaho Bioterrorism simulation. We ... more » »
