Today I collaborated (virtually and in person) with three other Second Life educators to present a session on Libraries and Second Life at the TELSIG National Seminar which is being held in Palmerston North today and tomorrow.

I was incredibly nervous, and we were all crossing our fingers and toes that there wouldn’t be technology hitches - but all in all - even though there was the odd hiccup, I think it went pretty well! Everyone I spoke to afterwards had such nice things to say. (more…)

More great work from design students at Victoria, and this time it may be the single most awesome thing I’ve ever seen.

Stormtroopers visit the school of Architecture and Design, do a bit of recycling, check out some student work, and then attend a lecture. Are they on a recon mission to experience student life? They didn’t visit the library, of course, which is why the plans of the Empire always fail - you know, if they’d been reading more maybe they wouldn’t have missed that unfortunately designed exhaust port on the Death Star.
