What Are Kids Learning in Virtual Worlds?
So, it will be tomorrow before I get to post my final thoughts on the Virtual School Symposium. In the meantime, I got this from the MacArthur E-newsletter that I get in my inbox.

I can't be in California on the date of this session. It's too bad the organizers don't make this an accessible session by simulcasting it on a software like Elluminate Live! Our schools use this web conferencing tool, and it's almost as good as being there.
The recent Virtual School Symposium had a number of their sessions that we webcast using Elluminate Live, and that is the tool that is used exclusively by CIDER for their sessions.
