SLCC Presentation: Image Slippage
The SecondLife Community Conference takes place in San Francisco this weekend. On Sunday there will be a day-long education-in-SL event. I’ll be presenting a paper at 2:30 SL/Pacific Time. Please stop by the SLCC sims in SL to check it out!
Click the image above to get a copy of the paper I’ll be presenting. I cut quite a bit of the theory (Lacan, Burke, and Foucault) out due to time constraints in the presentation but I’ll be writing that stuff up here later.

Lady - I’ll be there to hear your paper. And I just read it, fabulous work. I think it’s very important to break down the ‘roles’ of teacher student. I never put two and two together that secondlife is capable of doing just that.
I met a professor at Park University in Missouri, and his wisdom was that students learn a shit load more when they teach themselves. Themselves being student to student. So what if the teacher then becomes a friend, a fellow student?? Let me know will ya!

Hi Intellagirl! I am an honours student in New Zealand starting my research into second life - your web site has been invaluable in getting me really excited about my research - thanks! Hey did you write up the un-cut version of your SLCC presentation?
Cheers,
Abi
