New Look, New Life

This year I hope to be helping teachers demonstrate educational uses of secondlife. However, on reading Alex Hayes post about people neglecting their first life for their second one, I am attending to my first life, first!

Here is a newly scanned and cropped photo of me ready for whatever 2007 brings! I am newly living on my own, in a new location, and with a new outlook on life. I am re-energised, re-vitalised and re-oriented! With all this going on a first and second life may not be enough!

Much to learn and do! Machinima and gamics to make. Digital stories to tell, and Mobstr to mobilise! Listen in over at Talking VTE to see what Alex Hayes, Regan Harding and I have been dreaming up.

I am feeling so good about myself I might even change my secondlife avatar to look just like me, instead of the hot blonde bombshell that I am currently disguised as - and I will put human connection and conversation first!

Mobstr.com - Check it Out!

There are so many potential uses of mobstr.com in teaching and learning. I like to think of mobisodes as mini digital stories that arrive in installments.

Mobisodes about
- daily reports from workplacement
- how a problem was solved
- demonstrating and illustrating ideas and text
- creative writing/drama
- skill demonstration - steps in making a cappucino, setting a table
- building project from foundations to finish
- the development of any project or skil
- reports from the field - events, occasions, celebrations
- activities in second life

There is much learning and engagement to be had! from Mobst*r. Lets cross fertilise mobile learning with digital stories and virtual worlds and see what we can shake up!!
