An update - Smarttech (Makers of the SMARTboard) rep emailed 2 days ago to let
me know they will be demoing the Edusim on their SMARTboard at an upcoming
educational technology trade show called Educause in Seattle
(
http://www.educause.edu - October 23–26). Also have 2 teacher submitted
"resource packs" (lessons) . The Learning Tree Institute is discussing the
details of offering mini-grants to teachers to develop Edusim lessons (the goal
is to have 50 lessons within the next 6 months). We also have several Edusim
pods on our Secondlife Island with Edusim signage, video etc that are getting a
fair amount of traffic on our Greenbush Island (if you are interested in seeing
them - search "Greenbush Island" in SL - you will see the Education Service
Center lands in the results)
The latest prototype videos:
