Second Tuesday meeting – newbies welcome

A message from Sheila Webber, who is hosting the next event in the series. This is where UK academics, and other folk interested in teaching and learning in virtual worlds, get together for an hour or two in-world (Second Life) to be exact. All are welcome; the debate veers between the serious and the casual, as does the dress code:

I think I was designated the next host for the Second Tuesday meeting, 9th Feb at 8pm UK time, noon SLT:

Peter/Graham suggested we should take a theme, and my proposal is:

1) Discussing/drafting a proposal for the VW Best Practices in education conference (at the last meeting it was suggested that we put in a “Dance your way through the UK sims” proposal)

AND

2) SL tools for discussion/brainstorming in groups in particular applying 2) to 1)

*However* if it turns out that people now think that doing a VWBPE proposal is a rubbish idea, we could still demo or chat about 2). This does not rule out the usual free-form discussion about life the universe and everything.
