Friendly greetings from Paijat Hame Edu Island

Dear reader,

I am proud to say that the seminar dedicated to Second Life - Virtual World and organised by Koulutuskeskus Salpaus Oct 17 was a success.
A great teamwork to organise and implement it, thanks to all.

75 attended physically the seminar , we had 18 avatars following the morning interventions on our island.
If we add the speakers and the support team, around 120 people assisted this conference.
Hannu Heinonen, vice principal of Salpaus was the Chairman of the seminar. The island Paijat Hame Edu was introduced to the audience by Reijo Pöyhönen, Manager of Education in Salpaus.
We had great speakers from the Finnish Board of Education, University of Applied Sciences of Laurea, University of Joensuu, University of West Scotland and the company Languagelab.com from London selling English tuition in Second Life.
In the afternoon, 3 panelists from Lahti University of Applied Sciences and Salpaus discussed on Entrepreneurship and interacted with the audience.

Great news also from the sea this week!
Three Finnish islands joined forces to shape the first Finnish virtual archipielago ever...!
Paijat Hame Edu Island joined Edufinland Oct 21 and the University of Joensuu Island joined us Oct 22.

All the best,
Jorgito
