Second Life “Unconference”
Second Life and Other Virtual Worlds Unconference
Several of us have been experimenting with Virtual Worlds — to teach, to learn, and even to hold student life and co-curricular events. We’ve given and seen presentations on Second Life and other virtual worlds at conferences, but with formal conference presentations it never seems there is enough time during the Question and Answer sessions.
Would you be interested in participating in an “unconference” where we would have more time to share our experiences and brainstorm new ideas?
“Unconferences” have been around for at least 4 years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference). It’s where people in the audience have insight, knowledge and ideas to share, and then decide as a group what needs to be discussed, shown and presented. We have the people. It’s time to collaborate and harness our collective intelligence about Second Life, virtual worlds, education and student engagement. We could also bring in some keynote speakers via Second Life.
We can hold the F2F portion on Front Range Community College – Westminster campus on August 6th starting at 10 am MT and the virtual portion in Second Life. Please RSVP to kae.novak@frontrange.edu
