A webcast is an on-line audio show with a chat room to ask questions of the hosts.  If interested, go to http://webcastacademy.net/chat a few minutes before 8:00 – you’ll need to double click on the “webcast academy” folder on the right side of the chat window.  There will be a link below the chat window that gets you to the audio; we’ll be broadcasting on Sandbox A.  Keep in mind that we are beginners, but we are confident that it will go smoothly.  I’ll be streaming the audio, while Derrall video streams from SecondLife.  Please join us!

We are looking for other STAR members from Michigan to join our team!
Please contact Cindy Carson: carson@westbloomfield.k12.mi.us if you are a STAR DEN member and are interested in being an active part of the Michigan LC team.  

The DEN offers training opportunities for Second Life.  Although my schedule has only allowed me to attend one, it was excellent.  The leaders are helpful and encourage the folks new to Second Life.  This coming Wednesday evening, there will be workshop on taking photos in Second Life.  It starts at 4:30 pm SLT (7:30 EST).  Attend if you can!  

The image above is the best I can do at the moment.  It took a long time to figure out how to even see my face so that I could take a picture!  I look forward to learning the tricks on Wednesday.
