Virtual Worlds Libraries, Education, and Museums Conference

Posted Mon, 04/20/2009 - 08:01 by Beth J. Bates

The technology of virtual worlds is opening up new possibilities for students and lifelong learners. Many experts say we are moving from the era of the two-dimensional page to the era of three-dimensional virtual worlds. The second annual Virtual Worlds: Libraries, Education and Museums Conference provides a gathering place for librarians, information professionals, educators, museologists, and others to learn about and discuss the educational, informational, and cultural opportunities of virtual worlds. The conference will be held on April 24-25, 2009.

Second Life - How Hard Can It Be? (TechSoup)

Posted Tue, 04/14/2009 - 06:13 by Beth J. Bates

TechSoup posted a great discussion about the difficulty of getting started in Second Life, not only as an organization but simply as an individual trying to find their way. I personally think that there is a pretty extensive learning curve between getting an account and actually doing something productive in SL. It took me quite a while to figure out what I wanted to do after a considerable amount of wandering around...and I'm still not sure what I'm doing. Share your thoughts here or at TechSoup!

Clarifying the Difference Between Earth Week and the EcoCommons Launch Party

Posted Thu, 04/09/2009 - 06:16 by Beth J. Bates

*Earth Week is a week-long series of environmentally oriented events in SL. any1 Gynoid is spearheading the planning for this and more details are here: http://slearthweek.wordpress.com/.

*Earth Week is not being planned by EcoCommons or the Nonprofit Commons; it is a separate effort (though many from the Nonprofit Commons are involved in Earth Week plans and events).

With Earth Day right around the corner (April 22), we are busy preparing for the launch of EcoCommons in Second Life.

EcoCommons is a virtual location (sim) designed for environmental organizations in the 3D virtual world of Second Life. Developed by TechSoup’s Nonprofit Commons team in partnership with OneWorld.net and OneClimate Island in Second Life, EcoCommons provides a network for environmentally-focused nonprofits to promote awareness, community-building and environmental education efforts in the virtual world and beyond.
