Uploaded the #IR9 photos from the Second Life workshop yesterday. Have a gander. It was loads of fun, and there were plasticine peeps!

The AoIR 9.0 conf Presentations and Authors is up. And It shows that “Is this the Diamond Age? Exploring competing goals for the OLPC project.” is accepted, finally! Gives me three things to do… ZOMG. I’d better get working

GimpGirl Grows Up: Women With Disabilities Rethinking, Redefining, and Reclaiming Community has been accepted for presentation Internet Research Conference 9.0 in Copenhagen this fall. I’m working on this with Jen Cole and Aleja of Gimpgirl.com. And it will, I’m sure, be an interesting presentation. YAY!

Also, my paper “Who’s Getting All the Fun: Locating Constructionism in Science Simulations in Second Life” has been accepted. It is part of a panel that Jeremy’s organizing. Just waiting to hear if “Songchild on the OLPC: Authentic voices co-constructing identity in meshed-networked learning environments” has been accepted, and I’ll have a hat-trick.
