First Presentation in S.L. (Super Tuesday)

My first 'proper' presentation in S.L. ... venue ISTE Island ... 6:00pm S.L. time = 9:00am Thai time ... and the topic was about ... i.s.i. of course.
I gave the presentation using voice and not written chat.
I'm usually very comfortable standing up in front of other educators ... but this was the first time I could not make eye contact, and that is not an easy transition to make ... the audience were very supportive with chat comments which was, for me, essential. (thanks guys)
I did end up enjoying it and it was a very positive learning experience for me on technical issues, presentation style and management in a virtual world ... hopefully it was also informative for those who attended.
.... and don't laugh, but I actually physically stood up for the talk and moved around rather than sit at the desk ... isn't that strange?

Showing PowerPoint (& Other) Presentations

It's been interesting researching some of the presentation tools available in Second Life ... especially those that can show the PowerPoint presentations I already have in real life.
A tool (Communal Whiteboard) I like is made by "Angrybeth Shortbread" (don't you just love the avatar names).
I just export my ppt slides as jpg images, upload them to S.L. and drop them in this display unit ... that simple ... all the controls are intuitive, see http://metalab.blogspot.com/2006/06/communal-whiteboard.html
We have put one on the roof of the curriculum tower but they may also be available elsewhere on isi ... you can also find links to a larger selection of display tools on the 6th Floor in the Technology Tower.
