About Me:
I teach about and support the use of virtual worlds for San Diego State University. I also work with Global Kids - most recently in the design and development of their Science In Second Life curriculum (with Dr. Beth Wellman - one of the best folks on the planet IMHO). You can usually find me wandering around the virtual world, exploring how it can be used in instruction and learning .. and sharing those experiences with others.

If It Qwaqs Like a Duck...

... It must be another virtual world! Thanks to a SLED announcement by Lori Bell of Alliance Library System, I had the opportunity to attend a Qwaq demo yesterday hosted by John at Learning Times. Very interesting, despite some unforeseen technical issues (gotta love technology!) Built on the Croquet platform, the Qwaq environment offers some interesting collaborative features not currently supported in Second Life. For exa… Continue

Also known as Mari Asturias or Cathy Gkid

One odd thing about working in virtual worlds is being known by many names. It puts a bit of a burden on friends and colleagues to remember not one... but perhaps two or three names! My fuzzy brain shorts a fuse :-) For the record (and hopefully the Search bar), my Second Life names are in the title. As I meander through other VWs, I'll post. Yay.

Just saw your comment; Jonathon Richter's announcement is the ninth comment in Barry's forum topic...No WAIT! That content is part of Barry's page, since he is hosting that recent discussion topic ("What research question would you fund ...?").

Hold the press! That's not Barry's page; it is actually an entry in Barry's RezEd blog, with comments forming a discussion (of sorts). But, then again, Sabine's moderated discussion took place in a group space...and yet, there is a "Featured Discussion" section in the forum...

What do you think, does Jonathan's invitation merit its own topic/discussion/forum/blog entry? (And, where should he post it so that it remains most visible, at least for a while?)

Easily confused,
Azwaldo
