it seems like only yesterday that i was blogging about moving in to SLolar Central as part of the pioneer cohort.
has it really been one month already.
...
in His perfect timing, as one chapter draws to a close, another has - just today - opened.
after eight days' of hard work, i'm very chuffed to introduce you to the Raymaker Learning Space at Eduisland 3 :-)
located in the sim immediately southeast of Eduisland II (where SLolar Central is), the Raymaker Learning Space at Eduisland 3 looks to be an exciting opportunity for me to meet and learn from an international community of educators.
Eduisland 3 is managed by Lorelei Junot - a librarian from Illinois. my neighbours in the sim include the Library at the University of Guelph, Ontario, the College of DuPage, Illinois, the British Gothic Literature classroom (part of the Literature Alive! project), San Jose State University's knowville.org, the Irish Innovative Users Group, SL Machinima Librarians, the University Libraries, University of Southern Mississippi, the College Center for Library Automation, Florida, the Wright Center for Science Education at Tufts University, and the Virginia Society for Technology in Education. just a few metres to the north is the main building of the International Society for Technology in Education, on the sim ISTE Island; and the sim to the west is (the publsihing group Dorling Kindersley's) Info Island DK.
please do feel free to pay me a visit at Eduisland 3. within the Raymaker Learning Space at Eduisland 3, you will find a selection of academic papers which i've published, available as free e-books for you to read in-world. you can also learn more about my projects in other parts of Second Life, as well as my 'real-world' research interests in epistemic games.
i look forward to meeting you on Eduisland 3 :-)
[7 June 2011 update - the Raymaker Learning Space is relocating to EduIsland, where it is now an open-air amphitheatre (courtesy of Cube Republic) open for all to use :-) ]
[update: continuing on themes maritime as set by my post earlier today, one cannot really say that one has lived in Second Life, until one has had the supreme pleasure of riding in a ship-to-shore ferry from the SS Galaxy to the mainland, expertly piloted by a penguin... ]
