MUVE+-+Matt

Teaching through Multi-User Virtual Environments is one organization which has a website and offers trainings and workshops. Their website is [|__http://www.teachingthroughmuves.info/__]. They also have books, resources, and links (including 2.0) to more information on MUVEs [|__http://www.simte.com/__]. Another organization I found is SimTeach: Information and Community for Educators using M.U.V.E.'s. They also have links to more information on MUVEs. They also have a blog link so educators can bounce ideas off one other.

One organization I will use to be updated on MUVEs is the Center for Implementing Technology in Education (CITEd). Their website is [|__http://www.cited.org/index.aspx__]. This organization allows people to friend them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter. I find this to be an effective way to keep up to date with new information on MUVEs.

Finally, a research project I found on how MUVEs can be used is at [|__http://64.94.241.248/rivercityproject/documents/dedeICLS04.pdf__]. It is a study done by people at Harvard to see how MUVEs can be used for classroom-based situated learning and the ways in which virtual environments may aid the transfer of learning from classroom contexts into real world settings.

Matt, Great sites. I also noticed that many of the sites had blog links. Diane
