In December 31, 2008, Google shut down Lively, and along with it, all 3D chat rooms, including The Kape Shop. Here's a video tour to remember the 3D virtual coffee lounge with my real-life landscape photos, and my virtual-me, melailah. At end of this video tour, melailah will show you how a 3D avatar dances to Shakira's SuerteSuerte, and how rofl (roll on the floor laughing) becomes literal.
This webinar by Karl Kapp introduced the use of web 2.0 technologies as tools for collaborative teaching and learning, within and outside the classroom. Using his own blog , his class wiki and podcasts on YouTube created by his students, as examples, he showed (among others):
Description: New learning tools are introduced on an almost daily basis. Educators have all they can do to keep up with the latest technology in their field, let alone figure out how to incorporate podcasting, blogs, and wikis into their instructional curriculum. Transferring Knowledge to the New Style of Learning helps address that problem. The presentation describes how Web 2.0 technologies can and are being used in classrooms to provide educators with tools for extending the classroom beyond the school building. Learn how you can leverage these newest technologies to provide your students with rich learning opportunities they can do from the comfort of their own homes.
Transferring Knowledge to the New Style of Learning:
Extending the Classroom Beyond the Four Walls.
Date: Friday, September 26, 2008 10:00 a.m. PDT

Here's a fun (and mess-free) way of identifying the insides of a frog. Check out the web demo of a Virtual Dissection CD at Froguts.com. Local students and Biology teachers will love this interactive multimedia CD. And so will frogs.
[Update 9/30: Here's another way of virtually dissecting a frog - http://froggy.lbl.gov/virtual/. This one is free, unlike the Froguts CD which requires subscription fees. Thanks joelogs for the info!]
Hmm, gives me an idea for a possible future project in a course on multimedia design for educational materials. Something similar, like virtual dissection of a bangus (milkfish). Now I remember bringing an already "cleaned" bangus to my high school Biology class so many years back. My mother thought it was for my Home Economics class !
