2015 EDU: WRITE: Virtual Education Journal (VEJ) needs your story. 1000 lindens if used

Virtual Education Journal (VEJ) needs your story

You don't have to write a story.  The outline is given in a series of questions. You just answer the questions.  Plenty of time to do this before midnight April 12th slt, when submissions are due.

Outline is in questionnaire form here:

• VEJ: Share Your Story - EPIC Learning in Virtual Worlds/Environments

The theme for the April 2015 Issue of the Virtual Education Journal (VEJ) is Professional Learning. We want to hear from you, our readers. Tell us your story. How do you best learn in a virtual world/environment? What makes virtual learning meaningful for you as a learner? If you had to pick one, what is your greatest EPIC learning experience (that BIG, AH-HA MOMENT) that you will never forget as long as you live!

If your story is picked for the April 2015 issue of VEJ, you get 1,000 Lindens.

How to handle a Hypergrid address 

From any Hypergrid-enabled grid, paste the address into the navigation bar of Firestorm and press enter. Or paste it into the world map search bar of any viewer, search, and click Teleport when the destination is found. If it doesn't work, don't give up. Try again in a minutes.  Sometimes the first try fails (probably times out).  And try again a few hours later. Some hypergrid destinations are offline part of the day.
