My co-worker is taking a much deserved vacation this week and he typically works 12-9 so we’ve all been taking turns covering his shift this week. Today’s my turn. Although it’s a bit weird to be here this late, it’s wondrously peaceful and a really great time to be able to catch up on work uninterrupted.
I’ve spent a lot of time tonight catching up on some blogs. Second Life in Education, Second Life Education Events, Massively, TechCrunch and several others always have really great information and it’s a fantastic way to know what’s going on quickly. Google reader is my friend.
I also found out today that my poster “Social Networking and Community Building for Online Students” has been accepted for the TLT Symposium that will be held at the Penn Stater on March 29. This is great news, but also now means that I have to actually DO a poster about that. It’ll be fun and another opportunity to meet people from all over Penn State.
I also have a meeting scheduled for this coming Monday with Brett Bixler from ITS here at Penn State to discuss PSU’s overall presence in Second Life and brainstorm about what we can do to better organize what we’re presenting in that space. As I’ve mentioned before, Penn State’s presence in Second Life right now…. not so great. I’m hoping we can change that.
SL THON is also coming up on Friday, Feb 22 and I’m in the process of lining up musicians in Second Life to play for that event.
