Let me know if you’re attending.

Hi Bruce. The conference was listed on the ISTE listserv so I dropped in and caught your talk. I think the most insightful part was your comments on where you think the web is going. Immersive web. I like it! I was also really interested to find out about Vast Park. I work for a non-profit serving at-risk kids (in the US) and we hire lots of twenty-something over about a hundred mile geograhical radius. I think virtual world training would be great for us for a lot of reasons. The young people would think it’s cool, we could train without having to get them all in the same room, and it’s something that we could get grant/foundation support to build. But… I have a hard time using Second Life because it gets pretty sleazy. I only used it a handful of times but I have come across enough to make me NOT want to take my boss there. It’s not professional. There has to be a better platform for training and teaching in a professional context. Thanks for the great talk. Hope you post more on your web site!

Thanks Laura. I’m glad you got to see it. Love to hear more about what you do and what you’re hoping to achieve in virtual worlds.

cheers
Bruce
