Some people gave me the opportunity(!) to present a concise overview of the research project. In not a second more than 5 minutes I showed them 18 slides with information, while I read a carefully prepared text to them. I timed myself with a stopwatch and trained several hours in using the exact lines of the script. An ordeal, I can tell you as it is not a problem for me at all to elaborate on this subject for several minutes longer. The English presentation can be viewed here.
In 1994 I started a project called Aggiornamento, literally meaning "bringing up to date," It also embodies a spirit of change,openness,open-mindedness and modernity.The purpose of the project was to describe the opportunities of the World Wide Web for education. This blog informed you on my experiences as an observant participator in Second Life. Since I ve finished my report on SL I have decided to continue on writing about educational initiatives that inspire me.

Global Kids Reports
Global Kids produced two interesting reports on the 24th of this month on one of their sites. They deliver an overview of the SL Community Convention Fall 2007 in Second Life. The reports are concise, an illustration of actual use of SL and give a nice number of points to ponder about. The summary gives a good overview, the examples are best of breed. I 'd have liked more examples, not only the best, but others too, good to follow. We have TeenNews every day at prime time on our TV-network. Would we send teens to Darfur? Of course not, but I would support all initiatives to copy paste GK's Childs' War in my country! The recommendations are well worth reading for newbies and experienced educational users of SL as a tool for learning and teaching.
