VEJ, First Year Anniversary Issue - Coming Soon

Can you believe VEJ is almost a year old? The next issue of The Virtual Education Journal (VEJ Vol. 2 Issue 1) featuring highlights from VWBPE 2012, ISTE SIGVE’s New Home, and more educational stories about Why We Are Still Here will be hot off the press in June for ISTE 2012 in San Diego, CA.

 

We need your help in writing stories about the work you are doing in second life – especially why you are still here! We want to get the word out that ISTE SIGVE is alive and stronger than ever before! We are specifically looking for stories in this issue from:

• VWBPE 2012 presenters. We would love to have you submit a short article (500- 1,000 words) about your topic along with several pictures (jpeg preferred) or PowerPoint slides from your presentation.

• People who are exploring other virtual worlds and games – let us know what you are doing and why you are still here/there in places like WOW, RG, Kitely, 3rd Rock, JokadyiaGrid, Minecraft, Quest Atlantis, Club Penguin, etc.

• People who participated in the VWBPE MOOC and/or Machinima Fest - please share your experiences and what you learned.

• People who would like to share your educational work and play in virtual environments (i.e., worlds, games) with other educators.

 

We look forward to having you share your stories and pictures with the rest of us in the June issue of VEJ! Thank you for your help!

 

Send questions and submissions to rvojtek@edovation.com and be sure to put VEJ in the subject line.

 

Deadline: Friday, May 26, 2012 at 9:00 pm slt

All--there's a competition afoot to build membership in our community ning SIG groups. Do what you can to help us win it. The prize is a group dinner in Philly. Sound good? Info: http://sigcouncil.iste.wikispaces.net/SIG_Member_Communities

This notice is to ask each and every one of you who may wish to contribute to our SIG Virtual Environments choices for SIG Picks in the ISTE 2011 program to visit the SIGVE wiki and click in the sidebar to add your name in the first column beside as many of the over 800 workshops and sessions as you think we should submit in that category. We are allowed as many as 20, and so far a half dozen or so folks have voiced their picks. The deadline to add your voice is Monday night! URLs are at the end of this message!

I also ask all of you to please join us on Tuesday, February 15, in Second Life for our monthly SIGVE Speaker Session, which this month features the Virtual World's Best Practices In Education Conference's Executive Committee in an engaging panel discussion - "What is new for the VWBPE 2011 Conference," coming up March 17 - 19! For those who are interested in Virtual Worlds education but may not have the bandwidth or may not have their own Second Life avatar (or in case the sim is full!) we have begun mirroring the event in Elluminate courtesy of LearnCentral. Join the ISTE SIGVE Speaker Sessions Group at LearnCentral to take advantage of this option.

SIGVE is seeking educators to share at ISTE 2011, brief 30 minute sessions highlighting your work, be it teaching, research, or content development, at the ISTE 2011 Virtual Environments Playground. Sign up at the wiki. Did I mention that it's all at the wiki? Everything, that is, not at the Ning! Haven't joined the Ning yet? Do it now!

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, if you’re not already a member of the ISTE Community Ning SIGVE Group, join now!, you will be prompted to register. Don’t worry—it’s fast, easy, and free. You'll stay in the loop and benefit from the exploration and development of leading innovators in the field of education in Virtual Worlds!

Direct link to the vast spreadsheet (Hint: I used Ctrl-F to search for "Virtual" and read the descriptions and also searched for names of certain friends whose accepted pressies I hope to attend):

Hey, all, please take a few minutes if you want your voice to be heard on our SIGVE Picks for the ISTE2011 catalog, and visit https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AusPNKl1XeGldE5yOEVadnctam... (you may have to copy and paste that long baby) to choose up to 20 of the over 800 pressies and events to include in our "Picks" submission. These will have "SIGVE Pick" in the printed program. I found it helpful to use the Ctrl-F feature of google docs to search for "virtual" and for the names of people whose pressies I wanted to support. Don't leave it all up to me and a very few others! Get on over there. Simple directions in Cell A1 !!!
