Hello everyone. Below is a brief overview of our informal (ad-hoc) in-world 
meetings happening in Second Life this month. We're also setting up our 
Croquet-based meeting spaces, and will soon be able to meet in-world using 
Croquet technology. In the meantime please do join us in Second Life for 
these meetings -- the meetings are "platform agnostic" meaning these 
meetings and conversations are generally independent of any particular 3D/VR 
platform.

I'll followup tomorrow or Friday with the SLURL for this Friday's meeting, 
and you can always join the Second Life "Immersive Education" group if you'd 
like to get a reminder in-world for these and other events:

..................................................................................
IMMERSIVE EDUCATION IN-WORLD MEETINGS: MARCH, 2008

..................................................................................
Friday March 14th - Demonstrations of avatar tracking and analysis (for
assessment/recording/safety). TIME: 1PM-2PM EST

Friday March 21st - Demonstrations of the Education Grid content review 
process
(includes metadata/tagging overview).  TIME: 1PM-2PM EST

Friday March 28th - Discussing the role of surface input devices in virtual 
learning experiences (with video demonstrations of Croquet on touchable 
surfaces).  TIME: 1PM-2PM EST
..................................................................................

Each ad-hoc meeting starts at 1pm EST (10am pacific / Second Life time) and 
ends
at 2pm, with additional time beyond that allocated to questions and 
discussion
as attendees see fit (that is, the main meeting is 1 hour but we can stay
in-world to answer questions and discuss these topics in more detail).

Regards,
Aaron
