You are not bound by the school you are working in, the century you live in, the neighbourhood or the country where you are located, or even your planet. The learning environment is created by you and, for some, their students. So what are the tools of the trade in this virtual world? What are teachers making to use with their students and what do these creations say to us about what it means to learn in a virtual world?

Saturday, September 6 6:30-7:30 am SLT ** Streaming from Tampa: Using Second Life and Linden Lab as Case Studies to Problemetize the Creation of New Technologies Presenter: //Bo Brinkman// /// SL:// //OneBigRiver Stork// Streaming Location: [|http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISTE%20Island/128/124/25] ** Description: **It is often difficult to foresee the ways that a new technology will impact human institutions such as morality and the law. It is useful to demonstrate this to students, by inviting them to make predictions about a technology with which they are unfamiliar. I will demonstrate how to use SL and Linden Lab as case studies to problematize students' first attempts at this process, moving them closer to true critical analysis. 6:30-9:30 am SLT  ** Best Practices in Education Coordinator: //Beth Ritter-Guth/ SL: Desi Stockton// Location: Poster Session Gallery (Rockcliffe Arts Center), http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rockcliffe%20I/100/74/24 7 am-4 pm SLT  ** Machinima Festival Coordinator: //Marianne Malmstrom/ SL: Knowclue Kidd// **** Schedules & Locations: http://knowclue.wikispaces.com **** 7 am-4 pm SLT  ** Games and Simulations Coordinator: //Jeremy Koester/ SL: Jeremy Braver// Location: Rockcliffe XXI, http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rockcliffe%20XXI/142/54/67 7 am-3 pm SLT  ** Streaming of Tampa Events 7:30-8:30 am SLT ** Streaming: Really Engaging Accounting: Using Second Life to Engage Presenter: //Steven Hornik// /// SL:// //Robins Hermano// Streaming Location: [|http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISTE%20Island/128/124/25] ** Description: **This presentation will examine the use of Second Life to support a University level, Financial Accounting course. The course is a required core course for all business majors and is additionally required by other colleges outside of the College of Business. The presentation will involve a description and demonstration of each of the models used in the course and analysis of data from the course. The presentation of the course materials will be useful for anyone struggling to learn how to incorporate Second Life objects which represent abstract concepts into a course. This presentation will be especially useful for anyone considering using Second Life to support a course asynchronously and with large number of students. 8:30-9:30 am SLT **Working Groups Discussion Circles Location: Skypark (ISTE Island), [|http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISTE%20Island/134/119/350]  **Topics:

> **As more educational institutions begin to explore Second Life as a platform for teaching and learning, institutions must consider the questions of "acceptable use" and examine how existing student code of conduct policies address activities that might occur in virtual worlds. Do existing policies apply to behavior in virtual worlds? Are there changes that should be made to address activities in virtual worlds? This SLEDcc Working Group will draft template language that can be used as a guide for K–20 educational institutions.**
 * Creating an Institutional Use/Student Code of Conduct Policy

> **Educators are frequently asked how many educational institutions and what types of courses are using Second Life, but no definitive resource for this information currently exists. Can the SLED community self–organize a directory of institutions and courses using this platform? This SLEDcc Working Group will attempt to tackle this complex question and determine how such a directory might work, what types of information should be included, and what next steps we might take moving forward.**
 * Organizing a Directory of Institutions & Courses Using Second Life

> **Informing students and parents about what to expect with Second Life is a challenge that every Second Life educator faces. What kind of information should be included? This SLEDcc Working Group will help create template language that can be used by K– 20 educators using Second Life.**

11-11:30 am SLT  ** Worlds within Worlds Presenter: //Peter Miller/ SL: Graham Mills// Location: ISTE Island Auditorium, http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISTE%20Island/216/55/24 ** Description: **Second Life is great for constructing 3D environments and is inherently panoramic so why do we need wrapround panoramic images as well? One answer is that panoramas provide a prim-efficient setting that, for example, allows contrasts to be made between real-life and virtual views of the same location, where the virtual view is used to draw out historical or functional perspectives. This session presents two techniques for generating such images, looks at examples of their implementation, and discusses some of the benefits and limitations of this approach.

11:30-12 pm SLT  ** Oregon Community College Distance Learning Association Explores Second Life Together Presenter: //Monica Marlo-Martinez/ SL: MonicaMarlo Martinek// Co-presenter(s): Paula Ascher/ SL: Ruby Sol Dr. Michael Russell/ SL: Regulus Darkstone Location: Rockcliffe Arts Center, http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rockcliffe%20I/100/74/24 ** Description: **The Oregon Community Colleges Distance Learning Association (OCCDLA) is sponsoring an island in Second Life as a ‘virtual collaboratory’ for its participating institutions, so that we may all share knowledge and resources to discover how best to support teaching and learning for our community in a virtual environment. This poster session will present the strengths and challenges of coordinating the first year of a multi-institutional project in Second Life. During the SLCC presentation, members of our island guidance council from multiple institutions will be on hand in Second Life to answer questions. This poster session may be especially valuable to smaller institutions considering banding together to enter Second Life, so that support infrastructure and administrative costs may be shared. The key lesson of this presentation isthat it may be a great challenge to coordinate 17 institutions participation on one island, but that level of cooperation leads to an island with people on it- especially for asynchronous students at a distance who have little other opportunity to be co-present with one another.

Description: **Barry Joseph, Global Kids' Online Leadership Director, will address why Second Life can't reach a tipping point for mass usage and what this means for learning and virtual worlds. His modest goal is to forever change how we view, and use, Second Life for living a ludic life.

1-2 pm SLT  ** Teachers, Regulation and Good Conduct in Second Life Presenter: //Ian Warren/ SL: Ian Weitman// Co-presenter(s): Dr Darren Palmer/ SL: Sisprod Narnia Dr Tanya King/ SL: Gossamar Lanzet Mr Stephen Segrave/ SL: Deakin Lane Location: ISTE Island Auditorium, http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISTE%20Island/216/55/24 ** Description: **This paper identifies some prominent and potential harms to users of Second Life in education, and offers some directions for educators on how to recognise the limits of formalized regulatory methods and written codes of conduct in the prevention of harm. Problem 'signal events' which have been documented in Second Life can lead to highly reactive and restrictive regulatory impositions, which stifle innovative educational development. Our concern is to avoid this problem by proposing a model aimed at empowering educators on the prospective links between virtual harm and the development of emerging teaching and learning pedagogies in virtual worlds.

 * SCS At Tulane: Second Life Workshop Project, Findings in Support of the Need for Mixed Reality SL Build Features **
 * Description:** The SCS Second Life Workshop Project presentation is focused on the findings that support the need for bringing external materials and media into Second Life builds. More specifically, although the SCS orientation participants were provided with access to a Blackboard site with an array of step-by-step guidelines and other resources (as well as reminded repeatedly to check the site), the companion site was rarely used. As a result of this finding, the workshop builds were revised and expanded to include as many of the companion site materials, tutorials, and resources as possible. In turn, profiles of the features and functions of the most effective revised builds that include mixed reality learning elements will be the main focus of this presentation.

8:30-9:30 am SLT [Paper presentation (50 minutes)] Presenter: //Kenneth Lim/ SL: Veritas Raymaker// Location: Rockcliffe X Auditorium, http://slurl.com/secondlife/Rockcliffe%20X/198/198/29 I will begin by describing a possible scenario faced by school-leaders and teachers, with respect to thinking about incorporating virtual worlds as a complementary pedagogical strategy alongside traditional classroom environments; the Six Learnings will then be elaborate upon, and their use discussed as a metric against which such learning interventions can be planned and subsequently evaluated.
 * The Six Learnings of Second Life: A framework for designing curricular interventions inworld **
 * Description:** In this paper, I will outline what I have termed the Six Learnings framework. As the title suggests, the framework has been conceptualized to facilitate more effective and targeted planning of learning interventions involving Second Life and other similar virtual worlds and environments.

9:30-11 am SLT [In-World Keynote Presentation (50 minutes)] Presenters: //Peggy Sheehy and Bernajean Porter/ SL: Maggie Marat and Bernajena Pinazzo// Location: ISTE Island 4-Sim Auditorium, __[|http://slurl.com/secondlife/ISTE%20Island/27/26/26] __ **Description:** Good storytelling is a rigorous and rewarding journey for every author who is digging deep into the meaning of their story for themselves and others. As part of a digital storytelling week, classes at Suffern Middle School in Ramapo Central Schools, NY were guided by Bernajean Porter and Peg Sheehy in the task of finding their own visual parallel personal story to unfold while narrating a voice interpretation of Robert Frost’s actual poem, The Road Less Traveled. We wanted them to create more than a literal connection to the Frost poem by stretching to uncover a metaphorical story of their own using the larger theme of struggling with decisions that had had an impact on their lives. Students were introduced to Porter’s Take Six Elements of Good Storytelling to first craft a narrative written storyline, ultimately expressing a clear sensory experience of their own personal story reflecting a choice in their lives, the emotions behind it, and the lesson learned! Creativity, engagement, and deep introspection into sharing something real in their lives gave this project a special glow for everyone! Suffern NY Middle-Schoolers filming in SL (machinimas) share their personal storytelling of Frost's Road-Less-Traveled.
