MUVES+and+Professional+Development-Diane

I searched many areas of the internet looking for educational organizations that sponsor MUVES. I found several that were interesting and offered profesional developments for teacher training in MUVES as part of their sites organization. The two sites that I found to be interesting for students were at: [] [] I also found other sites with possibilities. [] This site offers educatioal on-line resources. [] I also found a web page with great step by step instructions for working with how to begin setting up your "second life." [] In the article it also explains a past conference and how ISTE offers professional developments which help keep us informed of innovations in the world of technology. []

Overall, this assignment, which in the beginning seemed simple and easy was in fact very complicated. I found more scholarly articles than actual sites that could be accessed. At this moment I am not even sure that I have come close to the intent of the assignment.

Diane,

The atlantis MUVE looks like something teachers, students, and parents could all do together for learning. In the web address, I see it has a Indiana.edu part. I'm from Indiana and never have heard of this website and MUVE. While reseaching it, did you find where this MUVE was created?

Diane,

I discovered atlantis while doing another application. It seems like it could offer students, parents, and teachers a lot. Parents can check up on the students and collaborate to see what is going on and how their child is doing. I would like to research this more to see if it would be something that I could use in my classroom.
