the one hundred and seventy-seventh episode of ventriloquy brings you news that the Raymaker Field Studies Centre at Praxis is now ready for your visit!
first previewed in episode 174, the Raymaker Field Studies Centre at Praxis means that after a five-month hiatus, i am once again able to express my commitment to geography education in Second Life :-)
please join me in this 1.5 MB download, as i share with you how - in my fourth iteration of a Field Studies Centre - i have finally been able (with help from my fellow architects watcher Castaignede, Constantine Loire, Sanspareil London, Johnny Norwood, Arminasx Saiman and Thickbrick Sleaford) to realise a vision of geography education in Second Life that was first shared with me in August 2007 but was never brought to fruition, for want of scripting expertise.

i would like to dedicate this episode to the memory of Stephen Gately (1976 - 2009).
