I am trying to get ready for NECC. I am very excited and am sure I will forget something. This is my first NECC and I have been trying to follow all the advice from the NECC Ning. Bring business cards, pre-printed labels, power strip, comfy shoes, sturdy tote. I have spent the day printing up all my confirmations, clearing out my readers, email and getting all the little things done at home so I can focus on meeting friends…
About a week ago my dad called telling me about 3D connexion‘s Space Navigator. My dad was reading about Second Life, trying to understand what is I do. Thanks to dad I now have the Navigator for notebooks. It arrived yesterday evening and I took it for a test spin last night in SL.

I am eager to here from other educators and looking forward to learning from others experiences. For a copy of the notecard we…

Second Life is full of many wonderful places to visit, social events, and learning opportunities. Periodically I would like to share an event or place to add to your Second Life ‘to do’ list. One of the things I have enjoyed this winter season is ice skating in SL. It is fun and a nice backdrop for conversations. There are two places, I would recommend, where ice rinks with free skates have been set up. The DEN in SL on…
