Outreach: Contacts
If we want more educators in virtual worlds,
we need to focus on outworlders
Developing contacts.
Consideration of how virtual world educators can reach out to educators not familiar with virtual worlds.
Brick and mortar education
- Outworld is the opposite of inworld.
- Inworld means in a virtual world.
- Outworld, in the name of this blog, means not in a virtual world.
- After the break: Outreach channels.
Promising outworld interests
