Lighthouse Learning Island PLC Presentations

Following is a video that contains three presentations by the members of the Nauset Public Schools Lighthouse Learning Island Professional Learning Community. These educators took the risk to learn this new environment from scratch and went from logging in for the first time to loading up a presentation board and presenting in Second Life in just 10 short hours!

If you are in-life, you can look up Babette Botha, Kimjoy Fizzle, and Dahling Carling (the three presenters) and the other members who completed the PLC, Raia Schmooz and Hilda Helgerud, and ask then about the experience.

We will be following up with getting the group ready to go to the Teen Grid with sessions on advanced building and scripting.

Nice post about Lighthouse Learning Island

Tom Werner, of the Brandon Hall Research blog, posted some thoughts about Lighthouse Learning Island that made me feel very proud to be part of the project!

Kudos to all of the educators involved and to our school districts who were willing to take a chance!

I am about to embark on phase 2, which involves continuing the Nauset professional learning community and teaching my teachers how to build and create. We hope to have word soon on the availability of funds for a Teen Grid island (Windmill Learning Island??).
