Heads Up : Second Life KCELT Session

MLK Day is on Monday, so we will not have a Second Life and Lunch meeting next week.

I would like to give you a heads up about a Second Life class in KCELT next Tuesday though. It’s called “Blending Second Life With Real-World Courses” by Jed Peterson. If you have been at all curious about how the virtual world of Second Life can be incorporated into various teaching and learning formats, including face-to-face, online and blended courses, I encourage you to attend.

Jed has incorporated a virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel into his classroom teaching. He discussed this at a presentation he gave with Alan Peterka at last year’s League for Innovation Conference on Information Technology. It was an eye-opening experience for many educators in the room.

You can catch this session on Tuesday, January 20, 11-11:50am.
If you can still get into this session it is not to be missed.
