As part of the Muvenation project Marga has done a deal with Loki Clifton of Inside This World Pty Ltd that Muvenation participants can try out their holodecks. Part of the deal is that we blog about the experience, which is fine since I would blog anyway.

Getting a group in SL to work on projects and keep all their things in one place is tricky. So over the last week with some help from DW I developed a worksheet based on the  Builder's Buddy scripts.

Today I was talking some collaborators on LLL3D about how to visualise concepts in Second Life.
I remembered I had seen some twitterers mentioning that the University of Iowa had a visualisation of Bloom's taxonomy, I did a search and found that they had interactive models of both Bloom's taxononmy and Wenger's Communities of Practice.  

Today Group 2 had an informal trip into SL, well the 6 of us that were free at UK lunch time.

The Gift Building workshop was offered twice yesterday was the first run and today was a repeat for people who couldn’t make the first time.

As part of the Muvenation course I ran a workshop in Second Life this evening that was aimed to introduce the participants to some basics of building, the aim was to produce a gift box, that when touch said a greeting and offered a notecard explaining a project.

As part of the Muvenation project we were offering fashion shows in Second Life for the participants to show off their new looks. Until Sunday I had only once participated in a Fashion Show (I was 6 and modeled a cardigan knitted with wool from the shop sponsoring the event). On Sunday I attended a Fashion Show organised by the experienced Muvenation participants. It was a busy event with a lot of glamour (they even have a You Tube entry).

Marga Perez made this wordle of the twitter posts tagged with oeb08.

There is quite an interesting set of technolgies at play here:

Twitter is a microblogging platform in which you can post what you are do in 140 characters.

Next week it is Online Educa in Berlin.
On Thursday 14.00 to 16.00 I am chairing a session called: "MUVEs for the 21st Century" in Schinkel I/II.

I organised a trip into Second Life for people from Muvenation Group 2.
