Virtual Halloween Party: Learning can’t get much more fun!

When: Friday, October 24, 2008
Time: 8:00 - Midnight (PDT)
Where: SJSU SLIS Second Life Campus

This is a great opportunity to have FUN learning about Second Life. If you’ve heard about Second Life, spent time there or not, have an avatar or not, this is a low stakes opportunity to get a sense of the virtual world imagined and created by it’s users.

The host, San Jose State’s Jeremy Kemp, is a very active and enthusiastic Second Life educator. I’m sure he’s designed a great event.

For more on the SJSU gala, here’s the infomercial.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Second Life requires viewer software and a broadband Internet connection. The software and accounts are free.
