Scott Merrick - **Nashville, TN**
Scott Merrick has been exploring virtual worlds, a.k.a. 3D online environments, for years and has focused for the past half decade on their potentials for extending learning and teaching onto the global stage. This session uses a live exploration of a custom-built Wallwisher.com webpage with voice narration created in Audacity. Learn a little bit about several more or less randomly selected (from hundreds existing) examples of the power of virtual environments to help establish “sense of place at a distance.”

Watch the YouTube HangOut-On-Air broadcast.
If it is within the time listed above, you will find that the broadcast below is a LIVE Google Hangout-On-Air. Unfortunately, the broadcast below is about 45 seconds delayed from the actual presentation. This means that if you are in the actual session room at the ITEC conference, what you see in the video below will not match what you see at the front of the room.

The real video will begin about 10 minutes into this video below...

Join us in a Backchannel chat using Chatwing.com
You can enter you ideas anonymously or you can click the white "login" box in the blue stripe at the bottom. Your name will then be associated with your ideas. BTW, due to the 30-45 second delay in the YouTube HangOut-On-Air broadcast, the backchannel may seem a bit "dis-combobulated" and out of synch with what is being discussed in the session. Bear with us.
