Why Jeff went to NECC09
An amazing animoto that will hopefully be shared far and wide, from my good friend Jeff Agamenoni, Great Falls, Montana teacher and family guy supreme. I'm proud to be a part of Jeff's extended family!Wordle 4th of July
Playing around with Wordle from my 4th of July post: I'm still looking for comments, so jump on over to that post and add to the growing base of comments from SL educators who have an opinion about forming a Special Interest Group just for Second Life!Twitter Follower Mosiac! Fun!
Get your twitter mosaic here.On the Mall on the 4th of July!
Okay, I'm gonna do it.Last night I was pretty sure I was gonna be a party pooper, but today, after catching up on all kinds of things all morning at the hotel, I'm downtown at Gordon Biersch with a cold brew in front of me and my laptop aperch a singularly central bar table. People on the wait list just didn't see the table, I guess, or would rather sit at a traditional table or booth. I'm aThe Money Shot
Nobody made an address. There were no Powerpoints. The food was marginal. This is why I do this work.scottmerrick

Revised Resources for SL Workshops and Birds Sessions
Hey all, at NECC09 I'm helping facilitate two 3-hour workshops on the topic of Second Life, a 3-day running Second Life Playground, and a SL Birds of a Feather. I'm also helping put together a BOF on the topic of my favorite new VW for kids, Quest Atlantis: I'll be a bizzy bee, for sure. All our workshop and session descriptions (one for absolute n00bs and one for experienced educators who want dedicated time to mess with presentation and teaching tools) are at the NECC program search results page and the playground description is here:
Second Life Playground
Monday, June 29, 8 am–4 pm; Tuesday, June 30, 9 am–4 pm; and Wednesday, July 1, 8 am–2 pm
Explore stations for creating avatars, navigating in Second Life, using Second Life for professional development, using Second Life with students, and exploring ISTE's Virtual island.
Coordinators: Lisa Linn, Temecula Valley Unified and Scott Merrick, University School of Nashville/Vanderbilt CSO
I've just this day set up Birds of a Feather resource walls at both http://wallwisher.com/wall/slbirds and http://wallwisher.com/wall/qa birds. This is a tool I've just discovered and I hope it will serve us well! If you are interested in sharing anything about either topic, this is the place to do so.
I'll also suggest that, especially if you aren't going to be in our fair capitol that week, you check out the Group Virtual NECCers and Steve H.'s NECCUnPlugged.

Yes, this is a great idea! Thank you!
Hey all, I posted a typically rambling set of reflections at http://scottmerrick.blogspot.com/2009/07/on-mall-on-4th-of-july.html on the 4th, and if you're a SLer, a irl ISTE member, and an educator, I'd be eternally grateful for your take on it. ...

Hey ya'll,
It's heating up! I'll see you at NECC and inworld and all over the place.

Please note that while signups for presentations are open at the ISTEvisions signup page, presenters need to… Continue

YAY! I'm BAAAAACK!
Yippee. I finally figured out how I'd messed up my ning login and I'm a-back in bizzness here. I'm so excited about NECC09, presenting two 3 hour workshops (filling up fast) and co-facilitating two Birds of a Feather and the (all 3 days this year!) Second Life Playground! I'll be a bizzy bee in D.C. (that's a happy little poem!)!!! More here soon.

Cheers!

- I LOVE the "Latest Activity" sidebar feature. It's so heartening to refresh the page and see activity that I just added has disappeared in the course of minutes as new colleagues in teaching and learning add their own. This is a hoppin' place!

Laurie Korte said… - You should check out my book titled Moodle Magic: Make It Happen. I also have a session titled the same on Tuesday from 11-12. Join http://moodlemeet.ning.com
Use Global Classroom as your free hosting site for classroom creating, sharing, and swaping. I'll also be offering a year long Moodle Implementation course starting in July as a train the trainer idea.
I'd love to meet you at NECC.
