Lynne Berrett
The yearly Virtual World Best Practices in Education Conference in Second Life (SL) is over. At the end of this post you will be able to hear recordings of two of the people who spoke eloquently at the “Lifelong Learning Roundtable” that I co-moderated at the conference. Enjoy.

To Confer or Not To Confer
(Confessions of a reluctant presenter)
“If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships – the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace.” – F.D.R.

Jena Ball describes her motivation for doing a presentation at the Virtual Worlds Best Practices in Education (VWBPE) conference.
Getting to Know Louis Armstrong

It consists of 8 Wednesday sessions from 10:30 am to 12:00 Noon Eastern Daylight Time, starting March 12 and ending April 8.
The Magic of The Magic Flute
I have been writing concert notes for music organizations for many years. Lynne has suggested that I bring some of these notes to our readers, as part of my mission to encourage focused listening for brain health.
This approximately 6- minute Overture opened a recent concert I also performed in. There are two different videos to choose from. I have added a listening outline to guide you. Tell me what you think.
Hello Dear Readers
I want to thank you for being patient with my silence here over the past weeks. In early December I developed a sinus infection that has lingered in spite of antibiotics. I have learned a lot from this experience. You can guess that I am feeling more like myself now as I write this. Two big things are happening for us in 2025!
