http://npirl.blogspot.com/ Not Possible in Real Life ...

Virtual Worlds Blog
http://blogs.cisco.com/virtualworlds/ Virtual Worlds Blog Welcome to the newest addition to the blog family at cisco.com, Virtual Worlds! he term 'Virtual Worlds' can be a bit misleading, which is why you'll see the term 'Networked Virtual Environments' in our blog description. We believe that these environments offer an excellent new tool in our collaboration toolbox, alongside established technologies like IP Telephony, Web Collaboration, and Telepresence. They also offer a number of new opportunities to collaborate in ways we haven't had before, which is intuitively obvious to those who use them regularly, but we'll work on enumerating in future blogposts. We encourage you to experiment with these environments, starting with Cisco's virtual campus in Second Life, |

Veritas Raymakers Blog (a.k.a Kenneth Lim in Singapore)
http://voyager.blogs.com/ Blog of Veritas Raymakers Blog (a.k.a Kenneth Lim in Singapore) Profile of all the things that Veritas Raymaker (S.L.Avatar's name) does in real life in Singapore is listed at http://voyager.blogs.com/about.html .. wow and what am impressive list of experiences. Although now in teacher training and links with the MOE his heart still seems to be with k-12 (primary/secondary) teachers of Social Studies and Geography. His experience in S.L. does look very extensive (just read the Blog) although when we first talked he was very modest about the achievements. In addition to all of this is his Podcasting series "ventriloquy" ... listen to the shows from the Blog ... also don't miss the link to his Wiki. All with a Second Life / Virtual Worlds relevance. |

The International Schools Island ... Blog
http://internationalschoolsisland.blogspot.com/ The International Schools Island Blog This Blog lives to keep you informed of "The International Schools Island" in Second Life, a 3D virtual environment. The Island was delivered by Linden Labs on the 9th September 2007 (or the 10th depending on your time zone) The mission, concept, purpose, functionality and the layout of the Island had been planned over the previous two months by the two owners .... Shamblesguru Voom (a.k.a. Chris) and Takeme Homewood (a.k.a. Jenny). The Island is initially designed to support international schools in the 17 countries in S.E.Asia but we suspect that it will also be of specific help to public schools and those worldwide .... in fact all educators are most welcome to take advantage of what will be offered here. |

Second Seeker ... Reviews of Second Life
http://www.secondseeker.com/ Second Seeker ... Reviews of Second Life I know from my readings that Second Life is a place of wonderful community. Classes are taught, concerts are held. It was what Neal Stephenson wrote of in Snow Crash. That was fiction and wow, it was here, it was real. All I needed was to see Hiro Protagonist walking down a street. So where is this community? Where is this place? I couldn’t find it. This is what I was seeking, what I am seeking, this is why I am a seeker, a seeker of Second Life, the Second Seeker. |

NMC Campus Observer
http://sl.nmc.org/2006/10/23/dancoyote/ NMC Campus Observer The NMC Campus is an experimental effort developed to inform the New Media Consortium’s work in educational gaming. In early 2006, the organization made the decision to create a space for experimentation in a virtual 3-D world and began a search for suitable platforms, with a special interest in massively multi-player environments. Ultimately, Second Life was chosen, and working with an advisory board drawn from its membership, the NMC began designing a space within Second Life expressly to support collaboration, learning, insightful interaction, and experimentation — and to encourage exploration of the potential of virtual environments. |
