Update -- SL and Gaia

Just found an article on Twitter last night by Will Richardson that changed my position on virtual worlds like SL and Gaia.

Yikes! Last minute changes to my position paper, but a perfect example of how recent findings can change my plan at any time (think flexible, think fluid). . .

The "Added Value of Networking" 04 Mar 2009

This article helped to open my mind, just a little, and see an inkling of educational possibilities. His points were very powerful
  1. they are using these tools anyway for education
  2. no one is teaching them how to use these tools well
  3. it's our job to teach them so we should just get on board and find a way

  1. Dear Pookie Quicksand - I LOVE this post! It is what makes me love teaching this course so much. The fact that you are way at the front of the curve technologically and yet you are stretching yourself in both your exploration and in the way you look at the deeper questions of what we do as "technological educators". You have made my night.
