Thoughts collected during my attempts to branch out and try technologies and strategies that should help my students make global learning connections.

Second Life on Sunday

After getting home from church, I have spent the better part of the afternoon getting used to moving around in Second Life. Having a hard time training my eyes to see everything, and realized that I was receiving audio cues--I did not have my headphones on--duh. Plan to go back tomorrow to see how streaming video works and hopefully be able to see some classes in action. Looking forward to seeing some of the Edunation events.

Getting My Mind Around It All

Up on this Saturday morning experimenting with technologies that I have been hearing about lately. Attended the NCSLMA(N.C. School Library Media Association) conference in Winston-Salem, N.C. (11-15+16) and wanted to tinker with the open source programs mentioned and/or used by several presenters.
I am especially intrigued by educational applications of social networks like SecondLife, but wonder if I will have time to complete Orientation Island in time to attend an event that I learned about on Twitter this morning.
