There are Australians here.
I like having the title “Australian” above my head, so I joined the “Australians” SL group. I left the group last night after my chat box was flooded with IM’s from the group about partying and fun. Bah humbug - I was trying to have a conversation and all they wanted to do was party.
The last couple of days I’ve been hanging out and not partying with some other Australians.
I visited Terra Incognita island from the University of Southern Queensland last night, and spent some time talking to creator Decka Mah, whose alter ego Lindy McKeown is working on virtual learning environments for her PhD. She used to be a teacher-librarian. She’s working with a team, and she showed me lots of cool toys - but my favourite is the blog sign. You click on the sign and then type text into the chat window. It is then automatically posted to the Terra Incognita blog at blogspot. Works for any blog which can have posts submitted via email. I’m planning to go back and take the guided tour capsule around the island in the next couple of days.
Graham Sabre and Lowell Cremone from the SLOZ (Australia’s Second Life News Source) blog visited the library a couple of days ago. Today their blog features an article all about the Australian Libraries Building, with a cheesy snap of Emerald Dumont in front of ……what is it? Visit the remodelled library and find out.
