Andy Powell introduction

This is a 'blended symposium' (there is an audience who we can see in SL too at 192, 38, 32 Eduserv Island - Virtual Congress Centre).
Someone here is Google jockeying the SL view - I love back channels. we should really promote back channeling.
Event organisers had a planning headache because of knowing if they were talking about SL or RL.
Great interest in SL in education:
● 96 proposals for the recent bid. 90 of which were on SL strand! We did well!
● This event sold out in 2 days
