Taking advantage of being snowed in and on Christmas vacation, Ruckus came back to Second Life to polish her skills so she can begin to take part in VSTE meetings again. (YAY!) She connects quite well with a high speed MiFi from Verizon.
I love her look! I shared with her some of the recent meetings she's missed and some plans for future meetings. She seems excited to be back. :)
Jaz came online while Ruckus was at VSTE. Here we are enjoying Mandie's new Natural Bridge build. Mandie's 10 tools in 60 minutes was a recent meeting here that Ruckus wishes she'd seen.
Since Jaz and Ruckus both missed the two holiday events we did I took them to see where Ballet Pixelle performs and where the Dreams building contests were. The latter were still there! This holiday window is Sunn Thunders's. Beautiful! Iridescent!
Eventually we began to compare notes about our school systems and the Instructional Technology Resource Programs at each. Ruckus has three schools. She is called an iTRT. She can't teach all the lab classes all the time but it sounds like her teachers are still less IT savvy than mine. She is evaluated by her TRT Supervisor instead of a building principal. She does the monthly professional development at two of her schools. Her classroom teachers are just as overwhelmed as ours are. It's a universal problem. Even comparing notes with Jaz, who is in my same system, highlights differences among schools. It was an interesting discussion. I enjoy this part of SL most.
