[SL] GK Presents at the SL Best Practices Conferences
This past Friday was the 24 hour long conference focusing on Best Practices in Education within Second Life. Barry Joseph as his main grid avatar globalkids bixby presented a 'Choose your own adventure' styled talk on the history of the teen grid and Global Kids activities and programs that have taken place in the last year and a half. Global Kids was also a sponsor of the event and even gave out digital copies of their comic books and the GK lightbulbs which until the presentation had only existed in the Teen Grid.
The event was covered by SLCN who were also providing the video and audio streaming. You can view the video below or on the SLCN site here or download the video directly here.
The main presentation room was packed full at 80 avatars and there were several overflow areas in other sims that people were spilling out into. We even hosted a viewing of the live video stream on GK Island.
