Virtual Worlds Almanac
The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) recently unveiled a wiki called the Virtual Worlds Almanac, an online catalog of virtual-world environments that allows users to edit and contribute information. Educators and students can refer to the site for information about a host of virtual environments, including Second Life, as well as education-specific virtual worlds such as Whyville. "We hope this will make it easier for the community to collaborate and to keep abreast of innovations and new product offerings," said FAS President Henry Kelly in a press release. "FAS is interested in the potential virtual worlds offer for education and learning." As of press time, the site contained information on 86 different virtual-world environments. Users can find virtual worlds that match their interests by searching according to criteria such as intended audience (children, pre-teens, teens, adults), purpose (community, education, gaming, marketing, professional), language, platform, name, or relevant features.

Masterful mentoring newsletter
The Effects of Proximity on MentoringGeographical differences are common in mentoring, creating unique mentoring dynamics for partners; seeing your partner face-to-face can impact you differently than only meeting with your partner virtually. Collaboration efforts can be affected by physical proximity, with what is often referred to as the 50 feet (15 meters) rule: People are less likely to collaborate if they are more than 50 feet apart. This does not mean that face-to-face relationships are better than mentoring at a distance; it just means that partners must be aware of potential issues so they can address them.
The reality is that with the ever-increasing use of communication technologies, most mentoring relationships operate outside of the 50 feet rule. As a result, mentoring partners today must be particularly concerned with initiating conversations, establishing common ground, and maintaining awareness.
