Coming Up @ jokaydia This Week!

We have a huge week of activities planned on jokaydia this week – check out the details below!

jokaydia in Second Life: Dialogs with Uncle D -  A Story Quester’s Workshop

Following the success of our EduMeet visit to Story Quest a few weeks back, Marty and Jenaia from the The Virtual Worlds Story Project (TVWSP) have very kindly offered to provide us with two free and very exclusive workshops this week!

These sessions will allow us to further explore how Story Quests like ‘The Life and Times of Uncle D’ can be used to develop interactive, immersive, and educational experiences which allow participants to explore specific issues, ideas or themes; and to teach vital 21st century learning skills.

Workshop 1 will be held on Thursday 12th Nov @ 8pm Sydney Time / 1am SL Time. Workshop 2 will be held on Sunday 15th November @ 8pm Sydney Time / 1am SL Time.

To take part, check out the details on the Storyquest Workshops Signup page. You will need to add your name to the table provided. We are limiting these special sessions to 10 participants only per workshop, so add your name now!

jokaydia@ReactionGrid: MeetUp with the ReactionGrid Team

On Sunday evening as part of our regular Sunday EduMeets, we’ll  have the pleasure of meeting up with Kyle G aka @Dr_Manhattan for an update, catchup and discussion session about all things ReactionGrid and the team’s plans for the platform. This is your chance to get all the goss and find out more about the options available.

To help facilitate this session, I’ve added a ReactionGrid Questions Page to our wiki here. You can use this to add topics or specific questions you’d like Kyle to address.  Go on – add your burning questions now!! ;)
