Augmented Reality for Teaching - Via Live Web Streaming
In line with virtual worlds, immersive touch, and mixed reality, this type of web streaming is certain to find its way into the classroom:Live Web Streaming Content - To Your Classroom IWB & Smartboard
Deep in our underground bunker we are re-imagining what a live web streaming lesson - direct to the classroom interactive whiteboard might look like.Our key components are Adobe Connect Pro - Live web video, the classroom interactive whiteboard, and Opensim (via desktop sharing) for our “deeper look session” through out GreenbushTV Platform - http://tv.greenbush.usStay [...]Immersive Education Opensim AudioWhiteboard Application (Version 1)
Version 2 will soo be released !Rich's Classroom 2.0 Site

It took a lot longer for someone to post the "IPad in the classroom" post (I expected to see it immediately after the event ) ... as for me I am hoping it ushers in the age of "Immersive Touch" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edusim ) for education
I saw SecondLife at NECC in 2007, but was reluctant to use it in a classroom setting because of some of the 'things' people do on SecondLife. Just last month I discovered the Opensim Diva version. Got in running on my laptop. It allowed me to set up…
OK yes I did, but then I clicked on cobalt.bat and the screen launched, but when I clicked on the button, nothing happened. Windows XP here...thanks!
Hi All, I'm fairly new here. I'm working on a 3D science tool for k+. We're at the design stage now, hoping to complete the first prototype this summer. One of our big questions right now, which world to use? Short-listed to Reaction Grid and OpenSi…
Karen,
What kind of 3D curriculum resources did the middle school students have access to?

My school system has done some partnering with Kent State University to conduct research using 3-D technology with middle school students. They were comparing student achievement of students instructed with 3-D technology and students taught only wi…
I would argue that 3D technology will not make it into the classroom until really high quality curriculum resources that take advantage of 3D capabilities become available. Whereas this technology has the potential to truly engage students in teachi…
Anyone using OpenSim in the classroom. I'd really like to learn more about how to get started with it. I teach a CAD class to 11th and 12th graders. We've been doing GoogleSketchUp and will be learning Blender next semester.
I'm really interested i…

Greenbush Island & the 3D virtual classroom
Greenbush Island Images:
Our Croquet Discoveries:
A recent discovery (around may 2007)... We have been exploring Opensim and Croquet as a locally virtual hosted classroom option.
Greenbush Island in Secondlife:
Or Secondlife work goes back to October of 2006, we have discovered quite a bit about this platform:
Teleport there now !

THE EDUSIM ADVISORY GROUP ANNOUNCEMENT
We are currently in the process of putting together an Edusim advisory group who will direct content development and design decision as we prepare to release the Edusim Beta 01 distribution of Cobalt mid 2010.
This group will meet twice a month virtually - initially via Adobe Connect, then as the Cobalt environment matures within a Cobalt environment.
The groups goals will be to:
(1) Establish 10 “pilot” lessons for Edusim and the classroom interactive whiteboard that address specific K-12 ma… Continue

The 3D Web Starts to Bloom
A great article on MaxPing - IT giants back up open source 3D Web
======
First prototype of the 3D web is already run at thousands of Opensim servers all around the globe. The 3D Web bears similarities to 2D Web; Users can follow links to teleport from a 3D world to another one. 3D Viewers are used to browse the 3D content on the servers.

Merging and Evolving - Interactive Surfaces and 3D Virtual Environments
When the Edusim project was first started 2 years ago it was hard to imagine how far both 3D & interactive surface technologies would have come just 2 years later. Both technologies are evolving at break neck speed (ala exponentially evolving technology trends) and looking to converge in "interesting ways" (as Kurzweil might say… Continue

Stereoscopics, Haptics, & 3D Virtual Worlds for Learning
In some of my earliest planning for Edusim back in 2007 I developed a "List" of developmental functions (the Nov. 2007 post with complete list is here). Among the items of that list were haptics, a surround physical space (as we are working on with the "mobile immersive learning lab") and … Continue

- 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

Jack said… - 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!

Sandra Mitchell said… - 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.

Mark Cruthers said… - 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.

Lauren said… - 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.
