Just saw a link for the Immersive Ed. Day. Do you plan to stream any of the conference for those who can't make it?

Hi Rich,

I'm wondering if it's possible to send you my work, (game) I'm currently working on. (when completed) It's about teaching children how to tell time; I am trying to promote learning through discovery.

I will be very grateful it if I can get your opinion.

Many thanks
Phyllis

Hi Rich. I was wondering if your students would be interested in participating in a nationwide SAT Vocab Video Contest @ MIT university. If not, perhaps you have some other educator contacts you could direct me to. You can view contest details at BrainyFlix.com Please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply,
I am trying to set up an OpenSim Grid for my high school students. Tall order for an art teacher. Right now I have a University computer science student configuring Opensim as a stand alone and have a local company willing to house the server inside their network so I dont have to worry about firewalls etc.
I followed some of your links and wondered if Cobalt (squeek) is a better application for students to create and build. You can tell I'm over my head with programming but I think there is real value for my students so will continue to stumble on.

Hi Rich,

Great page Rich. With your interest in education technology I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's we based power point presenation platform. The virtual world could prove to be an amazing new step in online education.

Hello! Thanks for the greetings. Its cool to see you work at Greenbush. My hometown school district went there a lot especially my mom. She is the school nurse. I like the second life previews on your page. Don't know much about it but want to explore when I get the time.

Hi Rich - I have a question about a good wireless microphone to hook up to my SmartBoard that has the SB Speakers attached. Do you have any suggestions or thoughts on this?
Thanks for your help - Susan

I actually heard them talking about you all on the EdTechWeekly podcast a few weeks ago. I wondered if it was "our" Greenbush! Well done, and I look forward to visiting you all in SL.
