Money, money, money

At the third floor of the Main Building an ATM of DutchX has been placed. With this money machine (and the website of DutchX), you can buy Linden dollars.

Social Bookmarking

Seven more social bookmarking themes has been added to the Library at the Wharf. A few will follow soon, as well as an information board. Now you can add your favorite or most important urls about twitter-accounts, blogs, lifestreams, video clips, pictures, edutools, 21st century and innovation sites. You can also promote an item in a list to a higher ranking.

Special Visitor

Today Terrence Linden (one of the education employees of Linden Lab) visited Within Ten Years. Half Short, the designer of our education & innovation island gave him a guided tour. He was impressed about all the work that has been done, and, about our creativity and innovative tools and methods.

Twittering apps

Some applications at Within Ten Years automatically send a Tweet at the WTY Twitter account when something has been changed.
The Racks at the library, the Profession of the Future and the Interactive Roadmap tweet when someone has added an entry.

Out of beta stage

The Library Rack about Twitter at the Wharf is out of the beta stage yet. Soon there will be new Racks added, like Blogs, Lifestreams, Videoclips, Edutools and so on. When you have any ideas or wishes for Rack-themes, please let us know.

Sensor at Co-Creation-Library

The Co-Creation-Libray racks now determine if you are close enough to add an entry via chat. When you are out of the 20m chat range, you will be noticed to stand closer or to shout the messages.

Co-creation Library

Last week lots of work has been done to create a "co-creation-library". The Within Ten Years Library is situated at the Wharf. It has the form of a tree with apple-racks hanging at it, and surrounding it. Every rack will get its own information-theme.

Tomorrow a beta-version of the first rack will be operational: the TWITTER Rack. At this rack you can add your own favorite twitter accounts of which you think they are important for educators and/or students to follow. When a rack is full (16 entries per rack) and you like to add a new entry at the same rack, the last one (the 16th) will be removed.

To make a rack even more dynamic, you can promote an entry and so giving it a higher rank. But you cant promote at the same rack consecutively.

Examples

The vision and mission of Within Ten Years has been sharpened a bit during the last week. In the right column of the WTY-blog you can read the story about the innovation and education simple goal.
