Dear Friends,
On Friday April 13, we are very pleased to be able to welcome *Steve Allen
Mashburn of the Forsyth County Schools in Georgia*, as well as *Snoopy
Pfeffer of Dreamland Metaverse *, to
talk about a project that will be bringing an opensim virtual world
into*every classroom in Atlanta, Georgia
*. Called the *NOBLE Virtual
World
*, this opensim-based 3d environment will allow educators to transport
their students to far-off lands and places of the imagination, such as the
Berlin Wall during the Cold War or a castle in the Medieval era. Comprised
of 35 schools with 35,000 students, Atlanta will offer each school teacher
the opportunity to use this 3D world in their classroom.
To learn more, come to the Nonprofit Commons this Friday April 13, starting
at 8:30am. We'll also have news from TechSoup.org, knowledge sharing from
our Mentors Team, and general announcements. See you at the Plush Nonprofit
Commons !
