The Seedlings 10-29-09 podcast of an interview with Janalee Redmond has gotten my back into Second Life and Sloodle. Janalee is the Community Manager for Metanomics.

Our goal is to help facilitate discussion and insight into the serious uses of virtual worlds for enterprise, education, content development, research, and policy-making.

During our weekly broadcasts we strive for in-depth conversations with leading thinkers, researchers and policy-makers. Our goal is to bring this insight to our audience, and to facilitate conversation and discussion amongst our community. Through this highly active community, we strive to explore and advocate for the transformative potential of virtual world technology.

I joined SL two years ago and spend several house creating my avatar and exploring education worlds. Once you are in SL you quickly realize, or you should, that to really learn how to use SL will take some serious time away from RL (real life). Over the last year I have checked back in to SL and updated to the latest version. I also became a Sloodle member over a year ago, but I have not spent much time exploring them either.

This interview with Janalee has got me back in SL and Sloodle. I am going to install the Sloode plug-in on the learning2oh and the lpvec.net Moodle.

I have been working to finish the Moodle Silk Roads project I have to do for the East Asian study group and was wondering how I could make it more interactive. By developing a Sloodle Silk Roads project students could be in a virtual caravan on the Silk Road.
