On ISTE Island in Second Life, the International Society for Technology in Education hosts a Tuesday evening speaker series and Thursday evening Educator Socials. They have also provided a venue for a number of other activities, such as the online portion of the educators tracks for the Second Life Community Convention and for the National Educational Computing Conference.

ISTE also has a Second Life group you can join and an email list for announcements concerning educators in Second Life.

A spot on this island called Decka’s Decks facilitates these breakouts by whisking groups away from the larger classroom–chairs, table and all–then whisking them back when time is up.

Aerial view of Terra Incognita“The island is a place for learning that is growing and changing,” says educational researcher and Terra Incognita owner Lindy Mckeown (Decka Mah, in SL). “Explore the many places for small and large group interaction in a range of settings, including the beach and Surf Life Saving Club in Harlan Bay, the island getaway, Captain Zed’s Submarine or the gazebo at the top of the mountain on Poinky Peak.” And don’t miss the icebreaker area with mud wrestling.

To ask questions or request a personal tour, contact Decka Mah in Second Life or email her at Decka.Mah@gmail.com
