Sad, sad news! The Virtual Worlds Workshop has been canceled! At least now we know that you can't promote an event three months ahead and expect people to make room in their calendars, even if they want to be there! Never fear! More exciting pla...

Fewer teachers, fewer administrators. Use technology to educate everybody at exactly the right pace - personalized for my/your/their needs!

I'm interested in the community response to something like this? Is THIS a virtual world? I can't decide whether this is a brilliant innovation or a great misunderstanding?

Cancelations are the best thing sometimes

So...the Virtual Worlds Workshop has been canceled. But maybe that's not such a bad thing.

What's sad is that the Workshop was a really unique opportunity, and now that it's been canceled, those that registered will not have access to the knowledge that was on offer there.

Help! I'm speaking another language I think

Three weeks from yesterday the Virtual Worlds Workshop starts...

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
