| Title: | ISTE Eduverse Talks Episode 12 Featuring The Virtual Worlds Story Project- Part 3 |
| Description: | Born of a vision shared by Emmy award winning producer Marty Keltz (SL: Marty Snowpaw), and esteemed freelance writer, educator, and syndicated columnist Jena Ball SL: (Jenaia Morane), The Virtual Worlds Story Project (TVWSP) demonstrates Second Life’s ability to be more than a technology platform. In this episode of ISTE Eduverse Talks, host Peggy Sheehy (SL: Maggie Marat) will speak with TVWSP’s co-founders about the project, which encourages participants to experience, actively participate in, and co-create their own quests, as a way to personalize their own learning experience in Second Life. Our guests will also share tidbits from some stimulating Story Quests they’ve produced over the past few years, as well as their vision for the future of The Virtual Worlds Story Project. |

Her mission has been to tie physical activity to the K-12 learning environment while harnessing the expertise and energy of the most challenged students to lead and manage the programs The results were what brain researchers told us all along - physical activity prepares the brain to learn and generates cognitive success for learners. Teachers are busy and I knew if we were to really change the paradigm from "kids learn best when they are in desks and focused on a task."
Designing a synthesis of education and fitness that dramatically impacts youth fitness and academic success, began with the popular, innovative program: Generation FIT ®. Brain research and technology caught up with that mission over the past three years. Shasek developed the patented FootPOWR peripheral (with brilliant Kevin Colburn of 3D Innovations) in order to provide âexergameâ benefits to thousands of existing computer games, casual games, virtual worlds and educational software. The resulting computer peripheral ties physical activity to computer use at home and in schools. Being actively engaged, while standing and balancing and playing a casual game, forces one to use the brain in multiple ways. No matter what our age or where we use our computer, ExerLearning via FootGaming can provide valuable benefit to both mind and body.
