The virtual EduCon 2.0 presentation and conversation space is ready. It is located in Second Life at Learning Landscapes on the beautiful island of jokaydia (which recently hosted the 2007 Edublog Awards Ceremony). Click on the picture below for the link to the virtual EduCon 2.0:
If you’re not a Second Life user, you can still see what the space looks like by viewing these pictures or a short video.
I intend to use this space to host a couple of informal conversations on teacher professional development (details to follow) to complement my session at EduCon 2.0. However, the space is open to all EduCon 2.0 attendees (physical and virtual). If you’re interested in using the space to have your work/ideas showcased in Second Life, or in facilitating a chat sometime before, during, or after the conference, please let me know. I would be more than happy to assist you in any way I can.
Don’t forget that Second Life is not the only virtual venue for EduCon 2.0. Ustream channels have been setup for all sessions.

This sounds great. I can’t make to EDU2.0 in realspace but will definitely check it out in SL and see what’s happening (I’m Smartlak Goodfellow in SL). I’m an OISE P/J TC very interested in using tech in the k-8 classroom. I’m looking forward to your presentation at the upcoming Dean’s Conference at OISE - sounds like you’re doing some great work.
