Woot. I successfully managed to get OpenSim running on my laptop this past weekend and I'm sharing some pics right here to prove it. I have the embryo of a plan and it's developing nicely. With any luck we'll have our virtual world up and running for Tennessee students sometime by the beginning of 2011. I want to make sure it's rolled out right, and that it's thoughtful, welcoming, functional, and most of all, sustainable. We'll soon mount our world on a little used server in an adjacent room at our physical location so we can team-collaborate in its design, and we'll likely soon transform my "Scottsperiment" space in ReactionGrid to an MNPS Virtual Learning Island, where activity of different scale will take place and where approved Students and Teachers will have access to the burgeoning wealth of educational resources in ReactionGrid.
Speaking of that last, mark your calendar right now for Tuesday, September 21, at 5 pm Second Life time at ISTE Island in Second Life, when the ISTE SIGVE 3rd Tuesday Speaker Session will host a panel of dynamic and innovative educators working in ReactionGrid. Following that Session, we'll move into ReactionGrid for an Educators' Evening, an hour or two of touring, socializing, and learning which will feature the ReactionGrid ISTE Island Grand Opening party!
One more pic from the local iteration (I have since fixed the flag on the left! lol:
And a couple pics from Scottsperiment, where I've been playing around toward demo'ing potentials for my team:
