Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education has been pioneering immersive pedagogy for years, so I'm super honored to be giving a keynote talk at their annual conference next week.
Held March 14 at 4pm PT, here's the info and teleport links:
Despite, or because of, all the hype and backlash around the Metaverse in recent years, many myths around the concept persist -- even among longtime virtual world fans and educators. For instance: "There's no definition of the Metaverse and it doesn't exist", “The Metaverse must interoperate across the Internet”, and “Photo-realistic human avatars and world graphics are the Metaverse’s end goal”. Drawing from his new book Making a Metaverse That Matters -- and 20 years working in virtual worlds, beginning at Linden Lab -- Hamlet cuts through these myths while painting a sustainable and inspiring vision for virtual world educators.
