Things are moving forward and we had a fun tour this Saturday. We started by going to the Occupational Therapy Center which provides training for graduate students. Their YouTube video is available to watch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvhzHlrargU and they are located on Eduisland II http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eduisland%20II/197/33/22The second site we went to
was the Astronomy and Planetarium.
Not only can you explore the stars on this site but you can also purchase items to place at your own educational location. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Honawan/96/122/4212/421
The third site that we chose to visit th
is week as a fun site called Museum of Illusions http://slurl.com/secondlife/Enchantment%20Island/87/66/238 At this site we met Sallyanne Sak who advised us that you need at least 40 minutes to explore the entire Museum. There is so much to see. She also told us that the creator is currently making some new items that are being kept a secret. We will need to watch and see!
The final location we went to is one we have focused on before, The Tech Museum of Innovation at http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Tech/197/158/38 This site has many interactive activities as well as contests and chances to show the educational items you create.

For the next tour I hope to have some of our TNC members show off their educational places. I am trying to get 4 people who are willing to give us a tour (about 10-15 minutes) of the places they have created. Southern Georgia has offered to show us his educators Freebee Mall and I am hoping that Shamblesguru Voom will show us the International Schools Island. During our last tour someone provided me with a link to the a place at Microsoft and I am hoping this person will contact me and offer to add to our tour. Is there anyone else who would like to present?
I also want to remind everyone that next Saturday Esme Qunhua will be present some of the interactive tools she has created to use with students in SL. This event will take place at the TNC Conference Center at 10:00 a.m. SLT. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Eduisland%205/150/67/22
