Web 2.0
I want to start by reminding everyone that this Saturday (July 26th
) from 10:00 – 11:00 SLT Pia Klaar will be offering a session on Web 2.0. This will take place at the TNC Conference Center on Eduisland 5 and will have valuable information for the classroom teacher http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eduisland%205/142/27/43 . I have also become aware of a free online book called “Web 2.0 Project Book”. This book contains projects that were shared by teachers who are using Web 2.0 in the classroom http://people.uis.edu/rschr1/et/2008/07/web-20-project-book.html You can download this book and save it for future reference.

Machinima 
Are you interested in Machinima? Pia Klaar has created a wonderful slide show that is a “how-to” tutorial on Machinima for Second Life http://www.slideshare.net/pia/machinima-how-to-in-second-life-in-second-life . She has also setup a Machinima area that is full of useful tools at the TNC on Eduisland II http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eduisland%20II/23/11/23 .

Slide Presentations
Pia also introduced me to slide presentations this week and I was excited to make the sidebar slideshow that is on the left of the blog. These are pictures that were taken by
Pia at the Expansion Party and put into Flickr. Next http://www.slidoo.com/ picked up these pictures and all I needed to do was supply the blog address and slidoo.com attached it to my sidebar. I am now thinking of getting my own Flickr account since I am starting to see a reason to post my pictures. Another website for making slideshows that is recommended by Pia is http://www.imageloop.com/. I have not used this yet but I hope to have time to try it out later this week.

You should also take a look at www.flauntr.com as a great web tool for photos and hosting slideshows utilizing your flickr albums. Nice interface. Imageloop is also great!
