Nudging the Adoption
I know. This is an odd title. But I had the opp today to “present” to a group of Web developers at Vanderbilt University, a truly marvelous institution–more like a massive city of learning–that has not yet set more than the random exploratory toe into Second Life. Thanks to the Vanderbilt Web Spiders and particularly to good friend Melanie Moran for inviting me to share.
I blogged it madly at both my main bloggies, scottmerrick.net and Oh! Virtual Learning, so I don’t need to repeat it all here (there’s powerpoint at scottmerrick.net). I do, however, feel like I need to give you an embed of my little “shadetree machinima.” I was so tickled to hear applause for it today that I’m encouraged to share it out here:
Thanks to my friend and new landlady, Kathy Schrock, and to my friend and long-time “boss” Ginny Shepherd, the visionary leader of the Vanderbilt Center for Science Outreach, for contributing to our entry into Second Life. It’s going to be a long, lovely journey…
