Dear FATE members,

I would like to invite participation in the planning of a Regional Think Tank to be held in the virtual world of Second Life. To begin our planning, I have suggested a meetup in which FATE members from various parts of the country (or world) can come together, at minimal financial cost, and begin discussion on the pedagogical values and possibilities of teaching art in an immersive virtual world.

To run Second Life on your computer you must have a good internet connection (DSL or Cable) and a decent graphics card. For more information about Second Life visit www.SecondLife.com.

Please feel free to contact me at AnthonyMFontana at gmail.com with any comments, questions, or concerns.

Thank you,

Anthony Fontana
