Sun’s Wonderland & Education Grid Demo

Dashing off a quick post:

Today the Media Grid Immersive Education Initiative launched the Education Grid on Sun’s Wonderland platform.

Aaron Walsh from Media Grid launched the initiative from within Second Life and the island quickly filled up with many more avatars waiting to get in to join the demonstration.

There are already six nodes on the grid and we got to pop around between them and check out the various applications and builds already in place. What follows are some screen shots, the tools are still pretty primitive, but the audio/voice worked pretty seamlessly and we saw a demonstration of live application sharing, video streaming, and more. What fun! Will try to post more later..

    Hey lady, great screengrabs. I was 10 minutes late and it took some scrambling to get into the sim (I tp’d to island 2 and kept flying at the door until I took some recent crashee’s place 🙂 and managed to fly into island 1) and by then it seemed the thing was breaking up. Blogs like yours help fill in the blanks for those of us (shall we say _all_ of us whose rl is so busy we can’t adhere to a strict clock and get to everything in time to benefit first hand! Thank you!

    I’m posting, btw, from inside Second Life, where your blog is featured in the Blogger’s Hut at ISTE Island as the June Blog-o-the-month displaying its RSS feed! Cheers, and see you in San Antonio, either in person or in SL 🙂
