Rockcliffe’s Annual Education & Technology Conference: Nov 9-10, San Francisco

 This is the last week to get your registrations in!

The Most Valuable Conference You Can Attend This Year!
"Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity." - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

The September 30 registration deadline for Rockcliffe’s Annual Conference on #EdTech is quickly approaching! Register here: https://shops.urockcliffe.com/product-category/rucc-2018/

The Annual Rockcliffe University Consortium Conference takes traditional conferencing methods and converts them into experiential ones. Attendees can expect a dynamic mixture of sessions, excursions, and critical discussion, all around the topic of innovative technology and its application to education, and how the two can impact our students’ preparedness for the digital world and a continually disrupted job market.

You can multiply the value of a conference, not only by the amount of sessions it provides, but the amount of opportunities it gives you to actively engage in the learning.  This value is far higher than the money that is spent, and certainly much more enduring.

Join us in San Francisco this November, we would love to be able to put a face with the name, share a drink, and help celebrate a new way forward in education.

Virtual Worlds Best Practices In Education Readies For Annual Conference- July 24th-July 27th Nomad Aries Reporting…

In the past I have written about the ways Second Life© has influenced the real world.

I have written about how Governments, the Justice System and the entertainment world is using Second Life to breach distance and time zones in order to reach as many people as possible with information, assistance and entertainment. Second Life has become an invaluable instrument helping people to access services, gain information and provide resolution to real life problems. It has become a workplace, an extension of offices and a global town hall providing services in real time to citizens across the globe. Second Life has also brought together individuals and organizations from around the world, making it easier for collaboration, sharing information and mentoring.

Recently, I learned of yet another important use of Second Life© - education. Education, learning and teaching are being expanded and explored in great depth here on Second Life. The technology of the gaming world is turning into an innovative tool for studying different teaching methods and defining what is teaching. Exploring the ways in which we learn and providing advances in technology, applications, research and access to information. Second Life© has become a global classroom. This month, one of the most extraordinary conferences will, once again, be held on Second Life©, The Virtual Worlds Best Practices In Education Conference. If you can attend one presentation of this conference over the three days it runs, I urge you to do so. You won't want to miss this.
