Morning!

This just came by my radar:

Get Ready for SLEDcc 2008!

The Second Life Education community conference is a proud member of the Second Life Community Convention – the official Linden Lab-sponsored and approved event for everyone spending significant time in the best of all possible virtual worlds! This conference is for everyone currently or seriously thinking of engaging in teaching and learning in Second Life.

The SLEDcc is a peer-reviewed academic conference, with emphasis upon evidence-based practices and scholarly work that lead to innovation, the identification of best practices for teaching and learning in the Second Life virtual 3D environment. It is also designed to maximize the opportunities afforded by the Second Life medium itself – and the advantages of meeting face-to-face for an exchange that cannot (yet) be recreated in the digital milieu. Whether you wish to participate in the inworld events or the Tampa, FL (real world) events – please consider presenting and participating in SLEDcc 2008! ….MORE….

The strands include:

• Games and Simulations (Red Strand)
• Mixed Reality Learning (Orange Strand)
• Theory, Research, & Practice (Yellow Strand)
• Differentiated Learning: International, Diverse, and Special Populations (Green Strand)
• Projects and Events (Blue Strand)
• Educational Tools and Products (Purple Strand)

I like how the above colors make a rainbow.

Enjoy,

Owlbert
