Hi everyone, FYI, I’ll be giving a brief (30 minute) online presentation tonight, July 31st, at 7:30 pm EDT, as part of the 2010 Reform Symposium, a free, three-day, online conference for educators, administrators, parents and students. My session is called entitled “Second Life in Education … an introduction.” You can check out the full schedule of other presentations here. This post contains linked resources (videos, documents, websites, etc.) from my presentation that I wanted everyone to have easy access to. Thanks!
For whatever they’re worth … here are my slides.

Hi Kevin,
let me suggest three EU funded projects in your interesting list:
- AVC@SL, http://www.antiviolencecampus.org/
Dealing with the overall topic of school bullying, violence, discrimination and xenophobia the EU-funded project “ACV@SL” – the Anti-Violence-Campus at Second Life – provides a virtual environment that aims to facilitate learning and collaboration in the virtual world of Second Life
- Avatar@School, http://www.avataratschool.eu/ – role plays
aVataR@School is a project that explores new ways of conflict resolution based on the use of virtual role plays by means of peer mediation techniques. A Second Life-like environment (www.opensimulator.org) allows virtual interactions between its players
- REVIT project, http://revit.cti.gr/
