Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education is a global grass-roots community event which focuses on education in immersive virtual environments. This open conference is organized by educators, for educators, to provide an opportunity to showcase the learning that takes place in this community of practice.
Innovative educators will be sharing their achievements and challenges that they face in enhanced learning technology as well as their vision of future collaborative learning in virtual worlds and games. Whether you are a career educator, interested in new developments in education or looking for great ideas to apply to your own areas of work, this is an exciting time and VWBPE can help you pick up on these new developments!
The conference will be covered across virtual worlds and will host presentations in Second Life, OpenSim/Jokadia, and Cloud Party. If you have a passion for virtual worlds, the topics covered will help shine a spotlight on the possibilities for their many uses in education.
We are happy to announce that the conference schedule is now available. We are using a new calendar tool which allows you to register for sessions and add them to your calendar. There are multiple formats to choose from including poster boards, daily views, and stream views (similar to Google’s agenda view).
All times are PDT/SLT (GMT -9).
Our conference sessions will be held in Second Life, OpenSim, or Cloud Party. You can click on the calendar to see the event schedule. We will be posting information on how to connect to these environments over the next couple of days.
EDITOR’S NOTE:
VWBPE is NOT just for educators! Everyone is welcome since, after all, at one point or another, we are all educators. The information presented at VWBPE is targeted at educators, but applicable and interesting to so many more.
