I will give a talk about my “101 course in virtual worlds.”
The event: Virtual Worlds: Libraries, Education, and Museums
The purpose of this conference is to provide a gathering place for librarians, information professionals, educators, museologists, and others to learn about and discuss the educational, informational, and cultural opportunities of virtual worlds.
Over 30 presentations on various virtual worlds related stories. Apperantly more and more people are using the web for learning and teaching… I estimate that after sex, and fashion this is the largest industry in Second Life today.
