the one-hundred-and-forty-second episode of ventriloquy is a recording of a talk i gave to Masters candidates at the National Institute of Education, Nanyang Technological University, here in Singapore.
i was invited to talk about Second Life, by my friend and colleague Ast/P Steven Zuiker, who runs the course (MLT 808 Design of Interactive Learning Environments) with Ast/P Beaumie Kim.
because of the duration of the talk, i have broken it into two parts.
this first part is the talk itself, and is 21.2 MB in size.
Show notes:
- outline of talk
- Second Life basics
- the story of my (avatar's) birth
- chronology of significant events in Second Life
- types of learning environments
- resources for educators
