A great find from Jane Nicholls of ICTUCAN podcasting fame.
I can see lots of uses for this little Web2.0 tool. It reminds me of Bubbleshare except that you use a webcam instead of still images. Flixn.com embeds in Blogger and I am trying here to see if it will embed into Edublogs as well (it doesn’t BTW).
I can’t wait until I get my new computer with a webcam attached. Roll on October, Apple! I will let Jane speak for herself. Click on the photo to see it working.
Jane, Sheryl and I had a play in Second Life today as well. Jane showed me around David Warlick and Will Richardson‘s Office. It was a bit of a cheek really and I virtually blushed when Sheryl Nussbaum-Beach turned up and we introduced ourselves. 
We were impressed when Sheryl flew about the place and started moving the furniture! We tried to have a group photo but the couch was too small and I am not very good at sitting down!
I keep on bumping into things. My avatar is a skinny young thing and my name is Scrumples Schnyder so if you see a skinny young thing with the name Scrumples Schnyder repeatedly bumping into walls do come up and say hello!
I have been a bit scathing of Second Life but it was way much more fun with a guide to give you a few tips on how to open doors & the like and meeting up with a friend as well. I will have a bit more of a play with this one.
Yes I can see great uses for this in my classroom – peer assessments for a start. I hope to have a trial with it on Friday.
As to Second Life, I’ve been in a few times and obviously need guide as I can’t seem to find anything useful! It’s a great time waster! It also conforms me as a digital immigrant when I was beginning to think I may almost be a digital native!!!
I am definetely a digital immigrant as I have no idea what you are talking about. I look forward to being enlightened.
SL is one of my holiday goals to explore… although I’m not going to enjoy spending all my time bumping into walls!!
Hi Allanah, I hope that all is well with you. I passed on your message to Ewan, he now knows to look out for you at U Learn in October… Paul
Hi Allanah, it looks as though we do, have friends in common, that is. Great to meet you through your blog.
Jo
Ok, so I’ve kept to my word and joined SL as it’s the holidays!
I can totally sympathise with you about the bumping into walls etc! – I have been doing a fair bit of that and have only just learned to sit down 🙂
Might see you around; I am KatarinaMay Capalini
