Hi everybody.

Hi everybody. The 10th VWBPE (Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education) conference starts today at 11 AM PDT in Secondlife. If you're going I look forward to seeing you there (my avatar is Olivetree Lighthouse) and if you've never been to Secondlife before, it's a great opportunity to jump in and explore the environment and how educators have been using it. This is a link to the conference calendar https://vwbpe.org/conference/vwbpe-calendar .

If you're new just

1- go to https://secondlife.com/my/index.php?lang=en-US and create an account (choose a name that you like. Choose an avatar but also know that you can change later)
2- Download and install this viewer http://www.firestormviewer.org/downloads/ . It usually works better than the official one.
3- Let me know your Avatar name so that I can send you a friend request and let me know when you would like to try it and/or which sessions you can attend so that I meet you and show you around.
4- make sure you have a working headset.

From what I've heard, this year's conference promises to be a really good one with good examples of how Virtual Worlds have been and can be used in education.

I've volunteered to help in the conference, which means I'll be in-world a lot so if you cannot make it to a particular session but would like to take a tour or try the environment any time please let me know

I hope to see you in-world.
