David Gibson commented on Russ Riegler's blog post Story~Toy~Puzzle~(Game)"Thanks Russ. I like the idea of progression. You might think about "progression along what dimensions" - e.g. is the representation getting more complex, is the concept getting more subtle, is the content getting "more varied"…"

Story ~ Toy ~ Puzzle ~ Game My Idea for a game is called: Trivia and this will be the culmination of my project for EdTech 532. Below I have outlined my goal(s) for the learning aspect of this game as well as the idea that the questions are quite easy at first and then progress in difficulty as they go on. I have…See More

(Story) “Education should be fun and entertaining and not presented as hard labor”. Professor Albert Einstein The above quote has been a favorite of mine for some years now and when I think back to some of the best course instructors that I’ve encountered in my academic endeavors, I realize that (in my opinion) a good instructor…See More
Russ Riegler posted a blog postQuest Debriefing April 15, 2011
Quest debriefing for April 15: This evening the crew was subjected to a role-play scenario in which Commander Dali offered two note cards to each member of the group, and then asked the crew to break up into their respective groups and depart to their crew’s quarters. Each section was then given an assignment and the recipient of the assignment was a member of the crew with the highest rank of that particular group section. The crew became somewhat disoriented and unorganized due to not…See More

Terrilynn Carami commented on Russ Riegler's blog post Party (How to plan a party in SL)"When you plan a party, don't forget plenty of notice and reminders to the attendees.

Russ Riegler commented on Russ Riegler's blog post McGonigal (Dr. Jane McGonigal speaks about how games relate to real life)"Thanks Mattie! And yes, Dr. McGonigal's ideas on this topic inspire food for thought. I believe that the amount of time spent gaming (which to many included SL) can be a great benefit if there are true educational goals involved. When she…"

- Hi Folks,
My name's Ray and I'm a "transfer" student from University of Texas at Brownsville.
Being involved in a closely paralelled EdTech program at UTB, a fellow classmate (Zelda) and myself happened to meet a group of students from Boise State in Second Life, whom were attending graduate classes there. Soon after meeting the students from Boise, Zelda and I were invited to "sit in" as guests on an actual class session where I was amazed at how the course was presented. The instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable and actually took the time to chat with us briefly, during her class session.
Immediately I became interested in Boise State course offerings and asked my professor why UTB has no courses offered totally within Second life. I was told that UTB is "working on this" yet there have been various obstacles (mostly funding) yet plans for future offerings may one day become a reality. I thought to myself: "how does that help me now as a current student"? LOL
So here I am, and ready to enjoy EDTech 532 with Prof. Gibson and Chris Haskell.
I was so impressed with the friendliness and courtesy of the BSU staff and faculty that I just knew that I will enjoy many courses to come, as well as working together with the other Boise students.
Thanks so much Chris for helping me get started!
