the one-hundred-and-sixty-ninth episode of ventriloquy previews the Virtual Worlds - Best Practices in Education conference 2009 (VWBPE 2009), to be held in Second Life from the 27th to the 29th of March.
specifically, through this 1.8 MB download, i would like to extend a warm welcome to you to visit the booth of the Journal of Virtual Worlds Research, which has been set up to celebrate the imminent publication in a few days' time of Volume 2 Number 1 of the Journal, which is a special edition commissioned on the theme of 'Pedagogy, Education and Innovation in 3D Virtual Worlds'.
this special edition has been put together by my co-editors Dr Leslie H Jarmon (SL: Bluewave Ogee) of the University of Texas at Austin, and Dr B Stephen Carpenter II (SL: Metaphor Voom) of the Texas A&M University. a highlight of this edition is a think-piece contributed by Professor James Gee.
