Presentation at NECC an Amazing Experience
Just finished with the DEN in Second Life Leadership Council’s presentation: “Creating a Personal Learning Network in Second Life” at ISTE’s NECC 2008. It was incredible. We had over 100 education professionals in the room and another 20 or so watching via the Ustream Steve Dembo set up. We had only one hour to talk about the PLN we have created in Second Life and why we have found it beneficial.
One thing that was really awesome was the fact that this morning was the first time all six of us had ever been in the same room together. I just met three of the panel members this morning, having worked with them for over a year in the virtual world. To think back over this past year and see how much we have accomplished as a group in a relatively short period of time (we’ve gone from 0 members to nearly 600 members), without having ever shared the same breathing air, it is incredible.
I look forward to another great year with the DEN in SL Leadership Council, and I also look forward to meeting all the new avatars in Second Life who are sure to be created after this conference!
