EDTECH at Boise State University

I enjoyed viewing this 2 minutes 30 second video and thought I'd share with you too. It looks like Boise State University's Ed Tech Department is doing some neat things with their students. I know we haven't talked about Second Life in awhile, so it'll be good to catch up on the trends of what's happening with 2-D, 3-D technologies. I've been seeing an increase in streaming of presentations via Second Life now. Have you? Any volunteers for owau? We're almost done with Blackboard 9.0 upgrade training, so I think owau topics will be opening up again.

Following up on our team meeting today with discussions of Web 2.0, netiquette and educating our students, parents and adult learners, I wanted to share this resource before I forgot about it.
