The eighth installment of Meet Scottlo Scorbal weighs in at roughly 32 minutes. Below is a list of the main points covered and approximate time-points in the recording.- Introduction - (00:00-06:55)
- Message of appreciation to the moderators of the EVO Virtual Worlds & Language Learning Session - (06:55-12:49)
- Thoughts on our Team Teaching project - (12:50-19:35)
- Idea for project inspired by Zotarah Shepherd's Multiple Intelligences build on Koru - (19:38-26:00)
- Fishing for ideas & final thoughts on Non-Virtual World teaching matters - (26:00-32:15)
Note: Posterous is the name of the web service I mentioned at the end of the recording. Though it wasn't suitable for creating an enclosure in the RSS 2.0 feed (wound up using Blip.tv), it is still an excellent web-application which I recommend highly. Those interested can hear how our radio class are trying to use Posterous by following the link on our class blog.

Truly great stuff, Scott. I hope to meet up with you in SL soon, although I will need to upgrade my wife's PC in order to do so.
I'm curious to know why you are so concerned about time. If it takes an hour to say what you want, isn't it better to take an hour???

hi Scott,
Just saying hello to show there is one more rss update seeker on the other end...
Again, great opportunity to experience great public speaker in action...
Also interesting inside in to possibilities of SL world.
Service you have mentioned (Posteres?) raised my curiosity. It seems however that there is no link on the show notes. Could you kindly provide ?
All the best,

Scott, a wonderful new episode. But, then, I have to say that after so much praise ;) Thanks for your generous words!
I am truly happy to hear that the EVO Virtual World & Language Learning session is beneficial. Listening to your comments about Second Life makes me excited about teaching and learning in SL all over again :-)
I love your project idea about building a SIM with stations to experience and learn about the different language learning methodologies and approaches. Might be something for my MA TESOL and EdTech that I will hopefully start next semester... Would be much more fun than just reading about them he he
Btw, I did give one-week intensive English seminars to managers using suggestopedia. Got bored of it soon, though.
Your idea of having students post their recordings to posterous is fabulous! I've just listened to some of them. That's what I thought you were doing when I first asked you about the recordings on Twitter. Way to go!

great podcast Scott! team teaching in teacher education is pretty much a tradition .. often called peer teaching or micro-teaching, so I don't think we can take credit for that :-) I did this for my RSA CERT 25 years ago and we kept it in of course when I was a CTEFLA trainer. And our shared experience of that approach (plus common sense over practicalities with timezeons) is I think why we all instantly agreed to programming it in to week 5 ... the need for the Nike 'just do it' approach to applying the things we would have talked about in the first 4 weeks. And like Nergiz, I think the stations idea would be interesting. Maybe another team project post the workshop?
