Mashups Presentation - featuring the jokaydia Blog!

I’m doing a presentation on content mashups to create spaces for learning today as part of an Australian Flexible Learning Framework Online event.

And, as the jokaydia Blog features heavily in this presentation, I thought I’d also share it here!

The slides include some info about the types of tools Im using here to create our Web 2.0 enabled, 2D presence.

Maybe in a future post, I’ll write about how I’m mashing up some of this content to share it inworld in our 3D presence as well! ;)

Enjoy!

The Online Therapy Institute in Second Life!

Welcoming DeeAnna and Kate!

I’m very excited to be welcoming one of our new residents to the Islands of jokaydia! The Online Therapy Institute has just opened up on jokaydia II and is a very tranquil place to visit!

DeeAnna Merz Nagel aka DeeAnna Madfes in Second Life and I have created an office and virtual meeting space which will provide a Second Life base for the work that she is doing with Kate Anthony at the Online Therapy Institute in real life, where they explore online counseling and supervision and teaching and facilitating online counseling and supervision.

To quote their website:

The Insitute is designed for clinicians and organizations who wish to enrich their knowledge about online counseling, clinical supervision and the impact of technology on mental health. The Institute, founded by Kate Anthony and DeeAnna Merz Nagel is a think tank for all issues related to e-therapy.

You can also read DeeAnna’s blog post about the new space here - where she says:

So, now that Kate and DeeAnna have a place to perch inworld, we will be creating new ways to reach out to clients/consumers and professionals about online counseling! We plan to provide discussions and workshops to members on a regular basis after the completion of our book projects. So when you visit us, please join the Online Therapy Institute group!!

Welcome DeeAnna and Kate - I think your work in Second Life will be fascinating, and I can’t wait to read your upcoming books!!

Visit the Online Therapy Institute on the Islands of jokaydia to find out more!

Mashing Up Tech to Connect with NECC!

We had a fab meetup tonight with the jokaydian NECCers, and it was a priveledge to hear Konrad talk about his work around Blogging Communities in the Classroom again. His work is so inspiring!

Equally inspiring was the way the jokaydians managed to pull off a last minute plan with style. I am so proud of HeyJude, slammed, Al and Konrad for flying the jokaydia flag high and walking the talk of our community by sharing and then sharing some more! It’s been great to follow their journey over at NECC, but even cooler to be a part of it like we did tonight.

About 15 avatars dropped in to Bar jokaydia click here (SLurl) to hear Konrad’s presentation, and with a combination of audio and slide wrangling from HeyJude and the Ustream that Will Richardson was providing, I think everyone managed to get a decent audio stream. And of course, there was a great back channel chat going on in both Ustream and at jokaydia. You can view some pictures of the inworld part of the session here.

Ya gotta love technology - from my living room I am able to connect with some amazing people! A Huuuuge thanks again Konrad, Judy, Dean and Al! You are all stars! ;)

Thanks to Will Richardson for the Ustream too - which means everyone who couldn’t make it can still get a taste of NECC!

I’ve had some tweets and messages from our intrepid travellers - who are all over in San Antonio attending NECC - the National Educational Computing Conference which is held by ISTE each year.

And the good news is… you can get a litte dose of NECC by connecting up with HeyJude, slammed, Al and Konrad tonight! Come and meet us at Bar jokaydia for an update on what the group have seen and heard! Did Jude find her fone? Did slammed finally get a beer? Has Al found the NECC dance party yet? Has Konrad tracked down the gang? All will be revealed! ;)
