Why do it this way?
- Virtual worlders are already familiar with making videos in virtual worlds.
- And we are familiar with editing those videos in Shotcut.
- We will make our podcasts in virtual worlds, since we are familiar with meeting there.
- And we already know educators who will collaborate with us on the project.
- Collaboration is the secret sauce for educators in virtual worlds.
