Info Island

Well I finally went to Info Island... and I was not disappointed. Very interesting island with a ton of information. This was a fantasitc visit and I'm hoping to learn more while here. Here are a few of the things that I did and saw while here.














1. Babbler

This HUD allows you to translate from several different languages. I'll have to find someone to chat with who speaks one of the languages that is listed so that I can how it works. The concept is pretty cool and I'm excited to see how it works.













2. Presentation

There is also a large stadium area for large instruction or presentations. The view is fantastic with all the different flags around the perimeter. There are many seats around the outside for people to sit for presentations.
















3. Holodeck

There is also a Holodeck that you can travel into and explore. It was very interesting to teleport into it and look around. I can see how this type of technology could be used to really enhance lessons for teachers.

There is also information galour here. I would recommend checking it out and seeing what is new there.

Tools-4-Teachers Wiki

I have been creating a Wiki for online tools for teachers. These tools range from interactive websites, games, webcams, and open source software. I have added several new categories and more information recently, and I'll continue to add more as I find it.

Here is the link to the Wiki: https://tools-4-teachers.wikispaces.com/.

It is a restricted Wiki so that not anyone who just stumbles onto it will be able to make changes, but if you would like to take a look or become a member, please let me know and I'll invite you to join.

NECC

So as I was wondering around the Ghost Town that is Second Life today, I realized that many of the people I know are down at NECC. I hope the event is fantastic and that everyone is having a great time. Hope to see more people on later so I can get some details about the event!
