Virtual Worlds And VLEs For SchoolsThanks for your comments, glad you liked the presentation, even if you have reservations.
For a start I wouldn’t ever suggest that you have to use virtual worlds if you don’t want to - and I wouldn’t suggest using them for ALL of your classes all of the time.
If you were interested, and wanted to try using virtual worlds, you would be well advised to spend some time preparing for it - so start small. Perhaps a project for one class over a few weeks. Perhaps with a virtual world like Habbo Hotel or Club Penguin (depending on the age of your students and what you want them to do with it!) which doesn’t require any software to be installed and shouldn’t require fancy new computers.
At www.RezEd.org you’ll find communities of educators interested in using virtual worlds for education (mainly Second Life, but other platforms too), which would be a good place to find out more about what different people are doing with virtual worlds in schools (or follow the links in the presentation!)2 years ago

Web 2.0 Online Collaboration (Public)Slidecast now ready... sorry about the noise levels and occasional breaks - this class was held in a lab space (not a quieter classroom), and I stopped now and then for discussions and questions.2 years ago

Shift HappensThe use of the Union Jack is correct... on the other hand, the correct answer to ’name this country’ should be ’The United Kingdom’. Or more accurately ’The British Empire’, but that would rather give it away I guess :-)
Did you know... England has not had an independent parliament since 1707, when the Act of Union with Scotland created the United Kingdom?3 years ago

Did You Know ThatThis is a nice story but totally untrue... read the wikipedia entry for this word for a whole load of other supposed (and untrue) origins of the word.3 years ago
