We are famous…well not me, but other people are

A good week here at digital-ethos. Our very own Intellagirl made the cover of Intake Magazine with a story centering on her Second Life class. Jim Walker wrote an excellent article covering SL and the put Intellagirl and her avatar on the cover. The inside story has a whole section on education in SL. She is introduced this way:

Sarah Robbins had plenty of experience using the Internet as a tool for teaching writing before anybody had ever heard of Second Life.

But none of that compared to what the Ball State instructor and her 18 freshman students experienced last semester while learning to research and write in this much-hyped virtual world.

“I taught online courses for 10 years and I spend a lot of time studying digital rhetorical on social networking sites like MySpace,” Robbins, 31, said. “But, as soon as I got into Second Life, I thought, ‘Oh yeah, this is it. I have to teach a class here.’ “

But Wait There’s More!

Looky on page 11 is also our very own Ryan Hupfer and Mitch Maxson talking about their new book, MySpace for Dummies. The story talks about his pizza party book release and cover what a swell guys Hup and Mitch are! Such quotes as:

Ryan Hupfer and his co-authors are no dummies when it comes to making new technology work for them.

Lots of pictures of all three digital-ethos contributors.

Man, the rest of us need to get into gear. C.C. on the cover of the Economist?
