Exploring New Learning Spaces

I was hoping to be able to post this to the NMC Campus Observer but that would have been the second day that I posted the same day as someone else.  Is there some kind of a collaborative blogging etiquette *smile*?  Lori Bell has joined the NMC blog and has posted important info regarding an upcoming event at the NMC library - I’ll wait until tomorrow before taking over the “prime real estate” at the top of the blog.

I did want to thank Blaze Columbia for her generosity (I met “her” in “her” female form but it was explained that sometimes she takes on a male form).  Heidi Trotta (TeeCee in SL) and I are preparing to bring 13 undergraduate students in SL on Monday for several activities.  I saw a posting about Blaze’s SL shop on a fashion blog (can’t help myself - so many talented people in SL) and decided to take a visit. 

After making a purchase (a little to sexy to wear around students) I bumped into Blaze who immediately said hello.  After a bit of chatting and compliments on her designs, I explained to Blaze that while I loved the outfit I just bought I had to be conservative when students where exploring SL with me.  I told her that we were bringing in 13 new SL users this Monday and the very generous Blaze provided me an outfit for all of my 11 female students and an outfit for all 3 of my male students.  It is this kind of generosity that makes SL such a special place - this is sure to make my students feel more at home in SL to know that someone provided something special just for them.  I hope to be able to include a field trip to Blaze’s store as part of their team building project so they can meet her.  Be sure to visit her store at Triumph and checkout her fashions at Blazeblog (lots of great men’s fashions too!!!).
