Demonstrtion of Virtual Language Learning Machines and their use and in the virtual classroom. |
I love creating games and puzzles for
language students and SL offers possibilities beyond real life. I'd like to
demonstrate and share some of the machines I've made and ask for feedback and
comments on these. Puzzles and Machines to Demo: These are fairly big and numerous prims. I'd expect the demo to go on for an hour with the first forty mins on demonstration and the last twenty on feedback. |

Wesley Fryer | StoryChasing: Empowering Students as
Digital Witnesses (Part 2 of 2) |
Just as a stormchaser uses available technologies, knowledge and
skills to pursue and document an impending thunderstorm, storychasers use their
tools and abilities to document stories of local, regional, national or
international interest. In our classrooms and after-school programs, as
educators we can empower learners of all ages to become digital witnesses and
responsible citizen journalists as storychasers. Whether on a school field
trip, conducting research for a class project or school journalism assignment,
or interviewing local residents to share about their lives and experiences,
storychasers can and are utilizing a rich array of new media tools to create,
communicate, and collaborate. Come learn how to join the storychaser's
communication revolution, and catalyze the development of a diverse array of
21st century as well as traditional literacy skills with students in your local
community who can become empowered storychasers! |

Iffaf Khan iykhan@essex.ac. uk | Monday morning classes | The title of
the topic refers to the idea of why self-access material is important.
This is a talk and a swap shop of tools for self-access. The aim is
two-fold: to illustrate how Second Life provides opportunities for self-access
and to provide examples of self-access material. The audience are
asked to bring their own ideas and suggestions of self-access material to the
swap shop.
This will last for one hour. Venue: The event would be held in our Ivor Crewe Auditorium (which is a replica of the real one). Participants would have to visit the campus the day before, at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Wivenhoe%20Island/247/26/22 , to request a group invitation. Two hours before the event they would be given a day pass and after the event they will be ejected from the group There will be a drop box at the above-mentioned location one week before the talk. Participants can drop notecards in it with their comments, ideas or suggestions for self-access in RL and SL. Participants should clearly name their notecards. I'll make the drop box full-perm so they can see and read each other's notecards ahead of time. It should add to the flavour of the swap shop and it make it truly interactive. |
