Networking Across the World

Tek Zeno and I have been busy setting up a Teacher Networking Center at Eduisland II. Our hope is for the center to be a place for educators from around the world to meet, share, collaborate, and work together. We opened on July 24th with an informal meeting.

Tools have been set up in various parts of the building so that educators could take a look at what types of SL tools there are, try them out and practice using them. Also available are free teaching resources for people to take.

The first meeting was a huge success with about 30 people showing up. The next meeting is planned for the 1st of August and hopefully as many people will be able to attend this one as well. This meeting will be held at an earlier time in the day so that educators from around the world will be able to come.

The Teacher Networking Center will schedule informal as well as formal meetings throughout the year where educators of subject area and grade levels can get together in order to discuss real life issues in education as well as SL issues in education.

Come and join us for a collaboration of teachers.

Discuss common classroom issues

Tek and I are very excited about the possibilities that the TNC offers to educators in Second Life. Social networking is such a large part of what works in SL . Being able to meet, and come together in one place, to share, discuss, and collaborate in educational topics, can only add onto these possiblities.
