Mike Spector, AECT President Elect, Speaks About SecondLife Experience
The AECT February Board meeting was held on February 17th at the AECT site in Second Life
 "Thanks to Tom Atkinson and the Virtual Worlds Committee to helping make the arrangements. While Second Life might not be the optimal environment for a conference call, there were unique affordances available (e.g., online chat and avatar gesturing … one board member’s avatar was dancing on the virtual board room table at the end of the meeting), and we have now demonstrated that a meeting can be successfully conducted in Second Life. We used the AECT tele-conference line for support and for those unable to participate via Second Life (which was my situation as I was at a rural school in Florida with no option other than the conference call line). We encourage other AECT groups to take advantage of Second Life for meetings and activities (including Webinars). Be sure to check with Larry Vernon (lvernon@aect.org) if you need to reserve a time to use the AECT tele-conferencing line, and contact Tom Atkinson (atkinson@aect.org) if you need help arranging activities in Second Life" (Spector, 2010).
