Hey, well, hmmmm. It’s Monday already. I am currently sitting in a Second Life introductary session, presented by fellow CRSs Kim Harrison and Al Doss, and a host of others. I actually had time to go on line this morning and create my own avatar, Harryhausen Steampunk, who looks nothing like me. I’m hoping that before the end of VSTE, I will actually make my way to VSTE island to hang with my peers.

Yesterday is kind of a blur. After my wife, Karon, and I finished our volunteer time in the registration booth,  we went to a Discovery Education session about digital storytelling. A lot of good ideas, and a look at the basic goals and guidelines for effective digital storytelling projects.

The keynote address was by educator Dr. Tim Tyson, who had one of the most interesting high-tech presentations I have ever seen.

Following the keynote, Karon, her sister and I were fortunate to be invited to a Discovery Education sponsored get together at Jillians at Norfolk’s Waterside. We enjoyed a nice dinner, and got to play a few video games, courtesy of Discovery Ed.  Thanks to Katie K. for including us in the evening!

More to come!
