Professor Avatar Ariticle
Hey all,
Linda Bergmann just forwarded this article to me and I thought I would toss it out there for wider consideration. What do you think about some of the claims about what Avatar selves do? In part the author seems to be talking about how the avatars both undermine the academy's bank (knowledge bank) image, but also seems to imply that in the process we loose some of our ethos. The article is interesting, and I want to fight with it a little, but I can't tell why...

Peace! MO!
P.S. Serious games was amazing, and someday we will have videos of some of the presentations if anyone missed one that they really wanted to go to.
