This may be old hat for you guys who are likely more "in the know" but I just joined RezEd - The Hub for Learning and Virtual Worlds. To join you simply sign up at www.rezed.org
RezEd has all kinds for cool information.
Also I just got back from the Games Learing and Society conference - teachers who want to implement the great stuff we're learning about in this course can get a scholarship to the GLS conference. The scholarship pays for two nights accommodation and full conference fees (that includes food). All we need to pay for is getting there. Next years conference is June 10-12 (google gls conference - you can access webcasts of many of the talks from this year's conference - Including Jim Gee's talk entitled "Beyond Games" ).
I found the talk by Guy Merchant today really interesting. and the comments about changing the teacher student relationship to a collegial/collaborative type relationship and that to do this us teachers might take on virtual character roles in a virtual world. I have been trying something like that and would love to continue this conversation with anyone interested.
