Jean-Paul DuQuette commented on Mystie Slade's video 'Sugata Mitra: Can kids teach themselves?'
As a researcher, I was disappointed that he didn't have time to go into the details (and their was no real connection to the "values" section tacked on at the end), but it just goes to show what motivated learners can do in groups...

News and Announcements

11/17 Hello all. If anyone happens to be in the Osaka area of Japan this Sunday the 29th, I'll be giving a presentation entitled "Blended virtual world learning environments: Moodle and Second Life for advanced learning". More information can be found at http://www.eltnews.com/ETJ/events/expos.shtml . I will be showing how Cypris Village and virtual learning communities are changing the way we communicate globally. Language learning is getting a whole new paradigm shift.

11/11 OK. Time to think about two things: Christmas and money. Let's design our winter wonderland for Christmas. We also need to think about donations for the January 6 month island payment. Can you spare a couple Lindens to help us pay for the island?

11/3 We had a great Halloween. Thanks to everyone who contributed their time, effort and Lindens to make this Halloween special for everyone. Our Bi-monthly newsletter has been posted in PM's blog. Looking forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas. :-)
