Upcoming Events - Tab Scott, June 13
Mark your calendar now, and be sure not to miss this Brown Bag!
June 13, Friday
9am SLT / 12 noon EDT
I was at a meeting of the Immersive Education group in Second Life one week after the SLUM Brown Bag Event. I was still wearing my block-M tshirt, so wasn't too surprised when someone else at the meeting IMed me, introducing themselves as a UM alum.
That turned out to be Tab Scott (SL), a.k.a. Terry Beaubois (RL) faculty member of architecture at Montana State, and head of their Creative Research Lab.
Tab and I had several conversations, and I quickly invited him to be a speaker at our Brown Bag series. He agreed, for which I am very grateful. Tab was one of the earliest proponents of education in Second Life and has been teaching in Second Life since 2005. That is a very long time. :)
Tab has had quite an impact, not just in Second Life, but also presenting literally at locations around the world for organizations and meeting focused on a wide variety of topics. Here is just a small sampling of some of the resources available about his activities.
