Westley Field is the Director of the ‘Skoolaborate’ Initiative. He is also Director of Online Learning and Manager of IT at MLC School in Sydney. Westley presents around the world on topics such as Education in Virtual Worlds, Making 1 to 1 work, Heuristics of implementing elearning, Educational Technology, Connecting Students in a Web 2.0 world and Leading in a Flat World.
Check this web site which provides video and useful information about what Skoolaborate is. Basically it is an area in Secondlife in which students and teachers from around the world can work on projects together. Christ College in Christchurch is involved in the project. In this presentation Westley spoke about how student have to build in Secondlife anything they might want to use for example buildings. This is how students can be involved in problem solving.
As a Health teacher I was interested to hear him speak about a discuss students from several countries had about under age drinking using an area in Skoolaborate as a forum.
