Hi all,
In the spirit of putting heads together I created the Museums in
Second
Life group this spring. I haven't had a chance to do much with it
yet,
but
you can find it by searching the SL groups category. I'm eyeing what
Beth
the TechSoup group are doing for examples of how we can do more to
interact
with each other.
I'll also take this opportunity to plug the 2006 MCN conference where
I'll
be moderating a panel called Modding the Museum: Accessing
Collections
through Games that will feature several panelists who are building
game-based museum interactives. Hope to see you in the audience in
Pasadena!

Hi Beth,
We've been doing some thinking here at the Holocaust Museum on what a
presence on Second Life might be like (and mean). My colleague, David
Klevan (dklevan at ushmm.org), our Education Manager for Technology and
Distance Learning, is at the forefront of that thinking.
It'd be nice to put our heads together.
Regards,

Hi Folks,
I've been researching the possibilities for nonprofits on Second Life
(http://www.secondlife.com), the virtual world. I'm participating in
some
in-world projects that TechSoup is organizing around nonprofits in
SL.
There will be an event later this month and we're starting to compile
a
directory of nonprofits using it. You can see the directory here
(http://www.writely.com/View.aspx?docid=aptcrhmkxkv_bcjvrhrc2vgbq)
So far, I've seen some museums in second life - created by
residents,
but
not any real life museums there - there may be, but haven't run across
it.
The San Jose Art Museum is building a virtual Island for display of
virtual
art works being sought from SL http://www.ludica.org.uk/NewWest/ The
event
will coincide with ZeroOne Festival http://isea2006.sjsu.edu/Grabbed
from
comments in blog post here:
I'm wondering if any of you are investigating the possibilities or
doing
any
projects. There a huge community of educators (320) from
universities,
some
teen education projects, a library project, and embryonic nonprofit
presence. I've written up what I learn on my blog here:
