Submitted by rmreese1 on Tue, 04/07/2009 - 19:41.Hello again from OLLieville. OLLie is out playing in Second Life for the next few weeks, so I’ll be giving you the low down on the latest and the greatest things hitting the online world. My name is OLLiegh. The OLLies, just like you, are hard pressed for money. And, just like you, we love free images!
OLLies in Second Life--Part 1
Submitted by stasia.weston on Thu, 01/15/2009 - 18:44.Hi all,
It's OLLie, back for another post! Happy 2009! We've been a bit on the quiet side on the OLLieblog of late. The office was closed for the holidays, but also we've been busily setting up a new presence in Second Life. The USA OLL can now be found in two locations, Cybrary Square and EduNation III.

OLLies in Second Life, Part 2
Submitted by stasia.weston on Mon, 03/09/2009 - 21:13.Hello all you great folks out there in OLLieVille. Welcome again to the OLLieBlog. The typist behind OLLie has been busily working in Second Life since the last posting, though I can’t say that I’ve been “on task” all of the time. However, one of the great things about SL is that, even if you’re not strictly on task, you’re probably still learning something—whether touring virtual places, meeting people from all over the country and world, experiencing the arts in a virtual landscape, building, scripting, etc.

Dr. Annamarie Guzy is saving trees. As an assistant professor of English Literature, she recognizes the importance of technology and how it can save time and money. By using the eCompanion (electronic course supplement) feature of eCollege to post her syllabi, assignments, and grades, she is providing students with a chance to experience the dynamics of computer-assisted courses.

Over in our podcast area, we have a new OLLieCast interview with USA English instructor Shaunda Sterling on her use of Moodle in the Higher Education classroom. (The link can be found at http://usaoll.org/node/241).
Can Online Role-Play Improve Students’ Writing?
Submitted by stasia.weston on Thu, 04/17/2008 - 21:21.It’s OLLie again, wishing a big “Hello!” to all of you wonderful readers out there in Online Land. Welcome again to the OLLieBlog.
Recently, I’ve been reintroducing myself to some old (to me) websites that encourage online role/story play along with more scholarly writing. In the reintroduction, I've noticed how many members of both sites are students and wondered if being a part of such a site would help build a student’s ability and confidence in his or her writing.
Are you a LifeHacker? Getting Things Done in 2008
Submitted by stasia.weston on Thu, 01/10/2008 - 19:01.I don’t know about you, but I’m always trying to find new ways to save time and do things more efficiently and I ooh and ahh over cheap cool tools that will assist me--especially in this season of resolutions and all that jazz. That said, I’m a LifeHacker junkie.
