TNC Expansion Party
Wow! What fun we had at the opening of the TNC Conference Center on Eduisland 5 and the renovated TNC Eduisland II. I have attached some pictures for everyone to see but I didn’t think to start taking them until the party was half way over! If you couldn’t make it we have left the games available for you to play and we want to invite you to come by and see the new facility.

Virtual Environments to Interact in Classroom Management Scenarios?
I know this may be old new to some but I am just getting around to listening to some old podcasts and an eSchool news podcast was talking about the work that was being done at the University of Central Florida. They are using a virtual interactive environment to give teachers experience in classroom management. Educators and pre-service educators are able to take part in a virtual classroom and take part in various scenarios http://www.ist.ucf.edu/nlarchive/spring08/spring08.htm#lockheed .
This had me thinking….. Wouldn’t this be something fun to do in Second Life. We could setup scenarios where a group of us would be “students” and then one would be the “teacher”. The scenario could be acted out and then there could be a discussion about the way the classroom management was handled.

PBS Teacher Connect Site 
Is anyone here looking for a new social networking site in which teachers collaborate by subject? PBS has opened the PBS Teachers Connect website and this may be of interest to you. Subjects include the Arts; Health & Fitness; Math: Reading & Language Arts; Early Childhood Education; Technology; Science & Tech; Social Studies; Homeschooling; and Library Media. This just opened June 30th and it looks like it could become an exciting new community for teachers http://www.pbs.org/teachers/connect/
