NECC09 Here We Come!

I'm quite buzzed about NECC09, where you'll be able to identify me as the one running around like the proverbial chicken with it's head cut off. Lisa Lynn and I are co-facilitating the Second Life Playground (that's the place to be if you want to help folks sign up for SL and/or mini-present or catch a mini->presentation either onsite or inworld), and I'll be co-presenting two three hour workshops centered around Second Life skills, one for absolute n00bies and one for more experienced Second Lifer educators looking for an excuse to explore educational tools in the company of likely even more experienced Second Life educators.

I'll be wrangling the Second Life as a PLN Birds of a Feather session again this year, again with excellent co-help, and co-leading a new one on Quest Atlantis. Lastly, I've been working with a colleague on a modest build for the Second Life 6th BirthdayPortal, which will be opening officially on June 23rd and running through NECC, a happy koinkidink. That's about it, and if you'd like to put any of that on

your schedule, see http://tinyurl.com/c2x95z ,

Please note the "co-" in all of the above. That's what SL helps bring to the table, and I'm constantly grateful for all of the "co-ing" that goes on in Second

Life. I am certain we'll break the 5,000 mark in ISTE SL membership this year, and if

you cannot get to NECC, join the Virtual NECCers group at the ISTE NECC ning (now 108 strong) and the group by the same name in SL, and monitor both for activity, because, as always, we are making it up as we go!

Cheers, and see me for free hugs at the Second Life Playground. If you're volunteering for SL activities at NECC, don't forget Terra's invitation to a real world get-together!
