These are some locations in Second Life that were available in November 2013. The SLurl (the web link) is shown on the first slide in a series. You can also see the name for the island at the top of most screen-captures too.
The document describes a two-week culminating project for 9th grade biology students where they investigated a mock crime scene at their school. Students worked in groups to gather evidence from various sources and charge a suspect. They then had to present their findings in a mock courtroom, explaining how their evidence proved the suspect's guilt and calling an expert witness via Skype. The project allowed students to develop skills in areas like the scientific method, literacy, communication, and technology integration while mimicking real-world forensic investigation and legal procedures. The teacher found that providing a relevant, challenging project engaged students in meaningful learning.
This document summarizes an independent documentary film project called "American Pride" that follows several aspiring gay country singers who responded to an advertisement placed by the film's creator, Larry Dvoskin. The film will explore the struggles these singers face in gaining acceptance in the traditionally conservative country music genre. Interviews with established artists like K.D. Lang, Willie Nelson, and Dolly Parton who have supported LGBT rights are also included. The documentary aims to generate discussion and help break down barriers in the country music industry.
The document discusses strategies for civil society organizations (CSOs) to advocate on internet policy issues in Indonesia, including online freedom of expression. It identifies key issues like privacy, surveillance, and net neutrality. CSO representatives discussed these topics and how to prioritize them for engagement at the 2013 Internet Governance Forum. The document also examines Indonesia's law on electronic information dissemination and some court cases around online defamation, identifying the law as a hindrance to internet users' rights. CSOs plan capacity building, media outreach, and stakeholder engagement to advocate reforming this law to protect freedom of expression.

This presentation address the findings about anaction research study on the use of badging within a graduate course. This course itself studied the theory behind and the educational use of emerging technologies. Here you will see how the students responded to reviewing the work of their peers (in an anonymous manner).

The document outlines the agenda for the OSCON 2011 conference held in Portland, OR from July 25-29, 2011. The agenda includes an introduction, sessions on Android building blocks, learning Node.js, writing Android apps with Ruby, and an discussion of API design anti-patterns. Presenters will discuss topics like the Android and iOS development, the Twitter-like Yamba app, why server-side JavaScript is now popular, and using Rhodes to build cross-platform mobile apps with one codebase in Ruby.

The summary explores Second Life and documents the adventure of Erik and Helen. They begin on Steam Punk Island and explore buildings to see how islands are constructed. Erik and Helen then teleport to the Ed Tech island and find a tent with video games, where Erik fights in a fighting game. Erik also awkwardly dances in Dance Dance Revolution. The summary concludes by reflecting on exploring with others and how virtual worlds can define people through the places they visit and content they create.
This document provides an overview of the development of prestressed concrete sleepers in South Africa. It discusses how Infraset (formerly Grinaker Precast) pioneered several world firsts in sleeper development over 50 years, becoming a leading global producer. The key developments discussed include Infraset securing the first major contract to supply 550,000 concrete twin-block sleepers to South African Railways in 1959. It also discusses Infraset's introduction of new products for projects like Gautrain and the Saldanha-Sishen ore line that have advanced concrete sleeper technology.
- The document discusses alternative investments such as independent film financing as an alternative to traditional stock and bond investments.
- It introduces the documentary film "American Pride" which will follow the lives of several gay country singers who responded to an advertisement looking for such performers.
- The film will explore their struggles to gain acceptance in the country music industry and follow their journey as they try to pursue their dreams.
This document discusses various innovations and virtual tools used to enrich classroom communities. It describes:
1. Using a virtual environment platform for asynchronous student collaboration, noting pros like flexibility but cons like lack of preparation and device compatibility issues.
2. Organizing students into virtual groups, assigning roles, and requiring interaction with other groups' postings to encourage accountability and engagement.
3. The ongoing use of virtual environments since 2007 for meetings, presentations, and project collaboration, with selected publications on effective virtual learning environment design cited.
4. Various virtual space customizations shown, from informational areas and buildings for subjects to informal seating for discussions, showcasing flexibility despite some aesthetic limitations.
Earned value management compares planned work with actual work accomplished to measure project performance. It calculates schedule variance by comparing earned value to planned work, and cost variance by comparing earned value to actual costs. Positive variances indicate the project is ahead or under budget, while negative variances mean it is behind or over budget. Indices like SPI and CPI also measure performance, with values over 1 meaning ahead or under budget and values under 1 meaning behind or over.
Emily Dickinson was a prominent 19th century American poet born in 1830 in Amherst, Massachusetts. She was well-educated but became a recluse later in life, rarely leaving her family's home. Dickinson wrote nearly 1800 poems that were unpublished until after her death, dealing with themes of nature, mortality, and faith. Her unconventional use of form and syntax made her a pioneering figure in American poetry. Dickinson's poems were first published in 1890 and interest in her work has grown significantly over time, cementing her status as one of the greatest American poets.
