Welcome Dewi!

Dewi, Al, Sapphire and Jo!

We’ve had a couple of new residents joining us on jokaydia over the last few days - including the lovely Dewi Kittaj! You can see Al, Sapphire and myself welcoming her to her new plot on jokaydia II above. She’s moved in just near the fairy garden.

Dewi aka Lauren O’Grady is a wonderful educator based in Melbourne Australia, who (as her Twitter bio states!) is passionate about elearning and purposeful learning for all. She is currently working as an Interactive Whiteboard Specialist with Edsoft, after winning the  ICTEV Teacher of the Year 2007 (wow!)… so I can’t wait to see what she does with her new space on jokaydia! To find out more about Lauren’s work, check out her blog - All teachers are learners - All learners are teachers.

Dont forget to drop by and visit Dewi in her new space (SLurl) to say hi and check out what’s she’s up to!

Welcome Dewi!

The Islands of jokaydia is Growing!

The Islands of jokaydia

As reported in my previous post, we’ve grown! About a week ago the Islands of jokaydia Estate in Second Life grew to 3 sims, and we’ve been impatiently waiting for our 3 sims to be moved together. So it was particuarly exciting to be inworld and standing on jokaydia III when the other islands rezzed in a few days ago!

The new space on the Islands will house a number of new community spaces - including a bar to hang out in (for slammed!), a new auditorium space and an extended Newbie Garden.

There will also be lots of space for new tenants, so if you’re interested in grabbing your own little plot on the Islands of jokaydia, get in touch! ;) I’ll be making formal announcements about new spaces for rent very soon!

We rented our final plots on jokaydia II this afternoon - and Im very happy to be welcoming a wonderful team to our community! Al Upton and Sapphire Sapphire Ceawlin have taken a large space and will be working together to explore how they might use virtual worlds in K-12 education, and SL for PD activities.

With their wealth of experience from their work in Quest Atlantis, I can hardly wait to see what Al and Sapphire create together! Don’t forget to drop by and say hello! You can visit Sparks and Flames here (SLurl).

For those of you still interested in joining the jokaydia Community and renting land.. never fear! We will have some new space available shortly. If you’d like more info, please contact me.

A few days ago, we welcomed the lovely Annabel Recreant to the Islands of jokaydia! The welcoming party above helped Annabel with some dancing and fun, and she’s already started building a really interesting space on her new plot.

Annabel works in History/humanities education and will be exploring ways to use her space for professional development and networking with the K-12 teachers she is working with. Dont forget to drop by and say hello! ;)

Welcome Annabel!

Venues and Resources on the Islands of jokaydia

I’ve just completed a list of the Venues and resources that are available to residents and visitors on the Islands of jokaydia. You can view it here, complete with images and SLurls to each of our venues.

One of the aims of the Islands of jokaydia is to enable our residents to hold events in Second Life easily, and without having to setup elaborate spaces of their own. This collection of spaces have been designed to allow for that, and also to illustrate some of way Second Life can effectively be used for learning and community building.

Residents on the Islands of jokaydia please note - you are welcome to book in to use these spaces, as they are included as part of your rental deal. To do so, use the jokaydia Google Calendar or our jokaydia Events Booking form.

Many of the spaces are also available to other groups and organisations. For further information on the types of spaces and services we can provide email Jo Kay or visit our Virtual Worlds Services page.
