Barry Joseph talks about the "Ludic Life" and why Second Life can't tip

Barry Joseph Keynote
Barry Joseph, director of the Online Leadership Program at Global Kids, delivered a rapid-fire, funny, and challenging talk on "Why Second Life Can't Tip: The Power and Perils of Living La Vida Ludic." His talk described how Second Life is part of a larger revolutionary trend toward the integration of "life" and "play" that he calls the "Ludic Life."  His central thesis is that until the larger culture shifts toward appreciating the power of integrating play into all aspects of life, that Second Life can not truly "tip."

It was an thrilling talk that hopefully will shift how people approach Second Life as educators, proponents and builders.  More pics of Barry's talk and other SLCC happenings here.
