Spackler Hall. (Get the reference? It’s a Cinderella story. The name may eventually change to something more professional, but for now, that’s it.) In the coming weeks, we will, hopefully, announce the addition of our newest residents, names you will also probably recognize. With the help of my two SL best friends, Clare Lane and Victoria Gloucester, we will provide assistance to these folks in SL … including help with avatars, furniture, building, finding cool educational SL sites, and more. Clare already helped Will get his place decorated. Beautifully, I might add! [...] […] These are just the initial confirmed residents of my facility, which for now is called Carl F. Spackler Hall.

I guess this is it! I'm happy to be of help to you and any other residents who woyld like it. Thing is, you're already doing more in a few weeks than I learned in twice as long! I guess I'll have to start peddling faster :) Will,

I have been on since I read about it in ISTE and I have learned so much. I have connected with Keith and many other ed tech folks that I would not have had the opportunity to meet "in person." I have learned quite a lot in the web 2.0 way we talk about. My daughter has a teen account and I have been amazed at the skills she is learning. She has created a group around her love of Harry Potter and has 19 group members. She is negotiating how to find a place to have group meetings. She has learned so much from other kids in SL. She has truly enjoyed getting to organize a group - a powerful experience for any student! I recommend everyone who is interested in ed tech to get a SL account and go straight to ISTE. (You can get there by searching for ISTE in the places tab.) I think SL will be a very powerful tool for learning and collaboration!
