The February 18 Teachers Buzz session took place underwater... and in a prehistoric world... and in hell... and in heaven. All those places were created by students in Michael Wright's (Mrags Writer in Second Life) Concepts and Issues in New Media course at Otis College of Art and Design. Each environment was created by one class working as a team, and each team had just 13 hours to complete the project. The results are spectacular. Housed on Otis Island ... more » »

On Monday Feb 4 at the Teachers Buzz on the NMC Labs sim, we were treated to a fantastic selection of useful gadgets for learning and teaching in Second Life.

This is keyword searchable by typing in to chat and it also provides a link to an mp3 file so you can hear the word being spoken! The one she ... more » »

The next NMC Campus Teachers Buzz session is going to be wild and chaotic, even more so than normal. We put out a call for educators to bring some educational SL gadgets they have created, ones they would be willing to share with other educators. We will meet on NMC Labs, our sandbox, where you should see lots of "Stuff" put out Monday, and pretty much it will be like the county fair. When: When: Feb 4, 2007 4:00 PM ... more » »

The NMC Campus Teachers Buzz sessions took a holiday break last month (we have word they were spotted causing trouble on a beach in the Carribean) but returned today with a great meetup on NMC Orientation to talk about improving the experience for new (and not so new) SL users. We meet at the sim's landing point, halfway between the basic (5 minute quick) orientation, and the longer, more in-depth orientation in the area that looks like the mission district. I ... more » »
