VideoLectures and TeacherTube – both have pretty descriptive titles! TeacherTube is very much modelled on YouTube – it looks very much like it, it’s got the same ability to create playlists & have favourites etc (a feature that I miss in Google Video) From the site, though there isn’t any indication that they are linked….

Sloog.org :: Tagging the whole new world
Sloog.org :: Tagging the whole new world Del-cio.us for Second life. It’s quite a new service, so the most popular site only has 67 tags, so far. One education site (Greenbush Land – Education Service Centre) makes it into the top 10 with 6 tags. The Education tag, so far, has 2 pages of sites,…
Four Corners Broadband Edition: You Only Live Twice
An ABC (Australia) documentary about Second Life. Going on most of the reports that I’ve read about this documentary – most people say that it’s probably the best balance about SL so far – it does cover the seedier side, but it also covers business & educational aspects.

LSL isn’t an OO language, but you have avatars (actors) interacting with objects by passing messages. Very good way of simulating OO….
Massively Multi-Learner Workshop
I’m at the Massively Multi-Learner Workshop in Paisley. So far we’ve had some excellent presentations from Dave Taylor – from NPL (National Physical Laboratory) – they’ve done some really interesting things. I liked the Physics in Teen Grid – he also showed several other things. Alex Krotoski’s talk was excellent – a lot about social…
