VWBPE is back...This year we are EPIC!!!

Well, it's been a while since I last posted here. Zillions of little things distracting us... evil multitasking...or happy serendipiting.. shrugs her shloulders.. Who knows? What I know it's that those roads have taken me to new lands, people and more knowledge.  With a content heart we are back in town... and with good news... Virtual World Best Practices in Education is here on a new edition and eventhough I am not presenting there, I will be presenting presenters.. a whole new challenge, yeaah!! So, let me tell you about this year Epic edition of VWBPE 2012.

Quoting VWBPE's definition of what Epic is..

Epic is being able to attend a virtual conference with cutting edge participants and brilliant bleeding edge presenters and explore engagement, immersion and NPIRL* education. http://www.vwbpe.org

On its fifth year, this free, grass-roots conference provides opportunities for participants in all virtual worlds and games to share innovative teaching, learning and research practices in 3D virtual environments.

They offer a wide range of content delivery options including lectures, guided virtual tours across platforms, research presentations, workshops and tutorials, machinima, discussion and round-tables.

It is a three day conference that provides opportunities for sharing and further understanding of virtual world technology. The virtual worlds discussed in this conference are: Second Life, OpenSim, World of Warcraft, Minecraft and Club Penguin.

Attendance is free and some sessions may be livestreamed and recorded.

Nany Kayo took us ...exploring this unique Mexican holiday at the Smithsonian Museum of Latino Music. There, I got to make my own altar. It was really interesting. Got all the materials as well as cards with step to step guidelines. It was easy and fun to make an altar to celebrate Dias de Los Muertos-The Day of the Dead -. We visited Celia Cruz, and the famous painter Frida Khalo's tomb to show our respect.

Thanks Nany and Virtual Pioneers.. we had a great experience that day. Also when writing this post and creating the slide show. I had to pick a song to accompany the show.. so I selected Celia Cruz' Quimbara .. a song I love.. and that I have danced all my life... of course ..in the middle of working I stopped and danced this..one my fav Salsa song. La rumba me esta llamando...Bongo dile que ya voy.... Azucar!!!
