Burning Man/Burning Life ...Mega Events for Art the Week of August 25th

I am so glad I can attend this event via SL.

Finally some recognition for the need to prepare digital learners!

August 14th, President Bush signed into law H.R. 4137, the Higher Education Opportunity Act, that includes the program developed by ISTE entitled the Preparing Teachers for Digital Age Learners Act. Now that the program has been enacted into law, ISTE will advocate forcefully for funding for this new critical teacher preparation program.

My new pet

I am still thinking of a name... maybe Nala, the name of the island in "Island" by Huxley. Mala, my tiger, was suppose to be a play on that name. Nala meows and purrs. He is an attachment with an animation that looks like I am petting him. Of course he's a Zooby.

Surfing.........

My board is named Rock Zen. The windsurfing board is Hedonism's freebie.

YIKES!!!!! Last Day of Summer

Sooo many things I want to learn, I have only scratched the surface.

I have spent some time learning "Scratch for Second Life" an easy to use scripting program for object movement and characteristics. I have also been playing with "Audacity" to capture sounds and bring in world.

I am amazed at the non-SL Scratch website, and what the MIT "Lifelong Kindergarten" group is doing. These are lucky kids, when learning is play. Why we cannot ramp up the use of technology in my school district is beyond me. We just play the game of test scores and teach to the FCAT.

MMMmmmmmmmm Summer is Almost Over

And there is so much more I wanted to do here.

More SL Jewelry

I have been busy this morning... I love the multi-gem necklace I made :))))) It took me so long to line up the skinny arcs... being a bent torus it moves in unpredictable ways!
