My Teflon pan produced toxic gas when cooking

Yesterday I was making grilled eggs when an overwhelming smell of gas started coming out of my pan. I had to throw eggs and pan. That smell of gas is still in my head. What companies use to manufacture our cookware?

Virtual Worlds
Best Practices in Education 2013 Conference
July 24-27, 2013
Second Life, OpenSim, CloudParty, Unity




VWBPE BACKGROUND

Since 2007, second life has been home to the best practices in education conference. As a grassroots open source conference, this conference was unique in that it was one of the first of its kind to allow educators from around the world to share ideas on how best to use 3D immersive environments in the classroom.

In 2009, the conference was re-branded to be the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education conference. Our goal was to open the conference up to best practices using any virtual world including Second Life, World of Warcraft, Club Penguin, Venuegen, OpenSim, EveOnline, and a host of others. While Second Life is our 'base of operations' the conference usually draws people from around the metaverse and as such has provided a vast wealth of information that educators and institutions can draw upon to make informed decisions about how best to use these technologies.

This year the conference will run from July 24-27 (the weekend after Relay for Life).

HOW BIG IS THE CONFERENCE?

The conference draws anywhere between 150 to 200 presenters, over 2000 attendees, and a small army of 200-250 volunteers that originate from over 90 countries.

This conference is one of the largest conferences for educators anywhere in the world. To give you some idea of some comparative numbers

Sloan-C - 1140 attendees ($620/pp)
Technology, Colleges and Community (TCC) Online Conference ($129/pp)
Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education (AACE) eLearn - 1000 attendees ($470/pp)
EDUCAUSE Annual Conference - 3000-4000 attendees ($750/pp)
American Society for Training & Development (ASTD) - 8,000 attendees ($1,100/pp)
American Educational Research Association (AERA) - 15,000 attendees ($575/pp)
International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) - 15,000 attendees ($309/pp)

While VWBPE is not the biggest conference out there, make no mistake, this is not a small conference by any means and the fact that it is free makes this conference especially unique.

CALL FOR PROPOSALS

Right now, people have until June 30th to get their proposals into the committee for review. Proposal guidelines can be found here: http://www.vwbpe.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/VWBPE2013CallforProposals.pdf

This years theme is "Beyond the Stage"

Submission Categories include

Theoretical and Research Papers
Best Practices Showcase
Games and Simulations
Machinima
K-12
Tools and Products
Poster
Panel or Roundtable
Exploration of Virtual Worlds (post-conference MOOC only)

To submit a proposal
go to http://www.vwbpe.org/front-desk to register
then go to http://www.vwbpe.org/main-hall/ to submit a proposal

Each year we try to introduce a new element to the program and this year is no different. We are attempting for the first time to run the conference across 4 different virtual platforms including Second Life, OpenSim (Jokaydia), CloudParty, and Unity (Jibe). These platforms are representative of where education has been evolving to over the past few years.

EXPLORATION OF VIRTUAL WORLDS MOOC

For other VW platforms or specific instances such as SpotOn3D and InWorldz we are separating out tours in these areas from the main conference so that we can give these platforms the time they need to really show what makes them unique.

We have found that tours to places like World of Warcraft, Club Penguin, Minecraft and other VWs really needs some additional prep time and then a couple of hours to really give people a good sense of what is / isn't possible. So hence Exploration of Virtual Worlds will run during the 4 weeks after the main VWBPE event July 24-27th.

NEW SUBMISSION PROCESS

One of the other new and unique features of the VWBPE Conference is that we have started to develop our own submission portal for virtual conferences. Virtual conferences raise logistical problems that other conference software cannot address.

The two largest being

association of presenter information and their avatar information and
scheduling of virtual locations

Both of these problems require unique software / business rules that we have had to address ourselves. The portal is still evolving even as we speak. So look for on-going changes throughout the year.

An important note: We are asking that anyone who has already submitted a proposal, please log in to confirm the information accuracy. We have been making changes and enhancements based on feedback from people using the system as this is the first year this software is being used.

VOLUNTEERS

Like any conference the VWBPE 2013 Conference needs a small army of volunteers to help run the show. This year especially as we are looking for mentor / greeters for 4 different virtual worlds, not just one The bulk of the conference will still be in Second Life however as presentations will also be occurring in CloudParty, JoKaydia, and Unity, people with experience in these platforms would be appreciated.

To sign-up as a volunteer, please see http://www.vwbpe.org/blog/call-for-second-to-none-volunteers

REGISTRATION

Registration to the conference is not required as we have an open source policy to allow everyone access to the conference. Registration is appreciated thou as it helps us with marketing and communications. It also allows us to pre-plan conference activities as it gives a projection of how many people will attend.

To register you can go to http://vwbpe13.eventbrite.com/


CONFERENCE ARCHIVES

The VWBPE Conference isn't just about 4 days of virtual meetings but also making those presentations available after the conference is over. We do that in a number of ways:

Conference Proceedings - Journal of Virtual Studies (http://ejournal.urockcliffe.com/)

YouTube Playlists of all Machinima submitted to the conference (http://www.youtube.com/user/VWBPE/videos?flow=grid&view=1)

Treet TV Video Recordings of selected presentations and keynotes (http://business.treet.tv/shows/bpeducation)

Metaverse TV Video Recordings of selected presentations and keynotes (http://metaversetv.com/?s=VWBPE&x=0&y=0)

Slideshare Playlist of Conference Presentations (http://www.slideshare.net/vwbpe)

It is the mission of the Conference to ensure that as much material from each conference is made available as open source and without encumbrances as possible.

FUNDING AND SPONSORSHIP

VWBPE is completely funded through donations and sponsorships. The conference needs a minimum of $5000/year in order to cover all the basics of the conference. This year we are trying two new methods to help with this both of which have been very successful for us so far. The first is introduction of a new ticket type that allows for voluntary donation to the conference which is available during registration process (http://vwbpe13.eventbrite.com/). The second is our indiegogo campaign (http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/vwbpe-conference-2013).

We have been fortunate that both have substantially helped us reach our goal and kept the conference on solid financial footing.

Une deuxième vie pour Second Life? Un chercheur entend montrer que l’univers virtuel peut aider à briser l’isolement des personnes âgées

Une deuxième vie pour Second Life?
Un chercheur entend montrer que l’univers virtuel peut aider à briser l’isolement
des personnes âgées.
Le Devoir.com, Fabien Deglise 5 décembre 2012


"Quand on a de la difficulté à marcher, on peut encore et toujours se… téléporter. Imaginez : une personne âgée vivant dans une résidence à Saguenay, qui, par un bel après-midi d’hiver, décide de partir visiter le Musée du Louvre avec un ami vivant, lui, dans un centre d’accueil de Gatineau. Clic :
assise devant l’écran de son ordinateur, elle entre dans la peau numérique de son avatar. Clic : elle arrive devant la porte du musée. Clic : elle papote avec son ami si loin, mais désormais si proche, tout en contemplant La grande odalisque d’Ingres. Re-clic : elle revient à temps pour le repas de 16 h 30. Magique.

Survivre à la vieillesse en déplaçant son existence dans un univers virtuel. Le projet a l’air de sortir tout droit d’un film de science-fiction, sauf pour l’universitaire Benny Rigaux-Bricmont, qui depuis quelques semaines, cherche à faire passer ce drôle de plan de retraite numérisé dans la réalité. Son idée ? Inviter les personnes âgées du Québec à déplacer une partie de leur existence dans le monde immersif en trois dimensions Second Life, un monde parallèle au nôtre, qui s’est développé discrètement dans les univers numériques, avec des hauts et désormais des bas depuis 2003, etauquel on accède par l’entremise d’un ordinateur. Cette dématérialisation de la vieillesse va, selon lui, permettre aux aînés de rompre avec la solitude tout en s’évadant de leur quotidien, de leur condition et des douleurs physiques qui peuvent les affecter, et ce, par le divertissement et la mise en scène d’une autre vie. En gros. « La douleur physique, la dépression, c’est surtout traité par des médicaments », résume à l’autre bout du fil ce professeur de marketing de l’Université Laval, qui pilote le projet de recherche multidisciplinaire baptisé Second Life et les aînés. Des chercheurs spécialisés en psychologie, en étude du comportement, en gériatrie… d’ici, mais également d’Europe se préparent à y prendre part. « Avec Second Life, nous disposons d’un autre traitement possible, d’un moyen d’évasion qui permet de s’éloigner de conditions de vie qui sont tristes, parfois débilitantes, et dans ce cas de figure, on ne devrait pas s’en passer. » " (...)

Abstract


To understand the changes occurred in our society since the introduction of the Internet and the development of different tools and resources is useful to go to the concepts of cyberspace and cyberculture, metaphors that refer to many types of communication and content available through the internet merging with a variety of tools, but also to its users, producers and the values that are built online. If Cyberspace refers to the Internet backbone, embracing new media, from infrastructure to social use, Cyberculture comprises all practices, attitudes, ways of thinking and values that grow along with Cyberspace (Lévy, 2001) These metaphors open research roads that result, for example, the possibility of identifying how the concept of gender is reconstructed through the communicative possibilities of the Internet "(Gómez-Diago, 2012) or understanding the significance of selecting the technologies that we use. Following this last idea, in this article, we identify some of the consequences that require education and / or training of proprietary software in the classroom. We articulated the work in two parts, introduced by a section intended to underlie the
role of the university education to bolster one type of technology over others and to forge an productive interplay between education and society which provokes a social betterment. This introduction is underpinned by studies conducted by international organizations which give us insights about the lack of applications of new technologies of information and communication in Spain. Then, by analyzing papers and studies carried by public institutions which embrace the use of non-proprietary software in our country, we identify the lack of concern about their use in the classroom. Finally, we shared the outcomes obtained from the experience of instructing vector graphic design proprietary software to students of third year of the Degree in Advertising and Public Relations at the University of Vigo during the academic year 2011-2012 . We detect some of the noticeable constraints that the use of this software impose to the knowledge gained by the students

Key words Software evaluation, educational technology, influence of technology, curriculum design, open source technology, public administration education, pilot studies, communication research, classroom research.

LSL Editor Community Edition

This site will help you create scripts for your Second Life objects. These scripts allow you to add interactive elements to your builds without knowing how to code. All of the script are released under a creative commons license, which means that you can use them freely!

This site tries to map the way you think into the way the LSL interpreter thinks. First choose what you want your object to do, then when you would like it to happen. You may be prompted to add some additional information. For example, you can create a script that will give a landmark to an avatar when they click on an object, prompt them to load your web site when they say "web" in chat, or simply welcome them to your land.

"WHY PDFSAM?
I needed to merge together some pdf files some years ago and it happened again since that first time.
Guess what? I couldn't find an open source software to make it easily and quickly, even if there are
tons of commercial software for that. This is the reason why i decided to write pdfsam, a simple, open
source and free software for pdf manipulation. Actually one more thing is that i knew about the iText
library; i knew the main job about the pdf manipulation was already done by iText but people need
something easier, simple interface, something "click and run". And here it is, pdfsam."Andrea Vacondi

Al Sur de la Frontera/ South of the Border (2010), by Oliver Stone

south of the border, by Oliver Stone

There’s a revolution underway in South America, but most of the world doesn’t know it. Oliver Stone sets out on a road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements as well as the mainstream media’s misperception of South America while interviewing seven of its elected presidents. In casual conversations with Presidents Hugo Chávez (Venezuela), Evo Morales (Bolivia), Lula da Silva (Brazil), Cristina Kirchner (Argentina), as well as her husband and ex-President Nėstor Kirchner, Fernando Lugo (Paraguay), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), and Raúl Castro (Cuba), Stone gains unprecedented access and sheds new light upon the exciting transformations in the region.
