Last Class

VSTE Island hosted a graduate class for teacher recertification this fall. Here are some photos from the last online class meeting. Before the class Cyrus read a story about, and then took us on a tour of, The Golden Gate Bridge. It was a quick tour of a beautiful realistic reproduction of the physical world.

Following that we returned to VSTE Island and had a little ceremony for our three graduate students. Mandie created the venue and certificates. Hey and Bee spoke.


This is the classroom meeting space at about 500 meters.

Cyrus always does a nice job of preparing for our meetings with nice slides previewing what we are about to see. He often has some historical or scientific information for us.

As avatars gathered, Leko put out cushions for them.


Cyrus read to us from  a short story from an old travel book by 1920s adventurer Richard Halliburton called Book of Marvels.









Here is a video of the sim http://youtu.be/pgPYmcW_wYs

... and our class celebration...
