Literacies discussion

The chatlog for the discussion on Second Life ... revisiting media literacy, held on 14 May 2009, is at http://sleeds.org/chatlog/?c=404
Marty Keltz (Marty Snowpaw in SL) who led the discussion, spoke from his ample experience in pioneering new media in schools in the 60s, and now exploring the possibilities in virtual worlds. The picture shows the discussion, which took polace in the Centre for Information Literacy Research on our Second Life island, Infolit iSchool.
