Dear Colleague:

Alliance Library System, in cooperation with LearningTimes, will offer a one-day online conference exploring the possibilities of using virtual worlds to teach history and to promote its appreciation. The conference - entitled "Stepping into History: Exploring the Past through Virtual Worlds" - will be held entirely in the virtual world of Second Life on June 10, 2008. "In-World" online attendance at the conference is limited to 60 participants, however you may also choose to attend via the virtual classroom simulcast.

The cost is $45 USD per person. Registration is available at the website:

http://www.steppingintohistory.org

The highly interactive experience will include "field trips" into historical locations that have been created in Second Life. We will explore 19th century America, where participants will meet Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln; Virtual Harlem, to hear live music from the Jazz Age/Harlem Renaissance; and Renaissance Island, for a Shakespearean play in a replica of London’s Globe Theatre. Everyone will discuss what they have experienced with simulation creators and other conference participants.

The conference will continue with a panel discussion with a variety of experts and a late afternoon photo workshop. The program concludes with a period ball at the Lincoln era White House.

For more information and to register, please visit http://www.steppingintohistory.org .
