AJ Brooks: The SL Education Roundtable is a forum to educate and inform the community about issues that are important and relevant to education.
Olivia Hotshot: \o/ Iggy.
AJ Brooks: The views and opinions of any of our special guests or visitors do not necessarily represent those who volunteer or organize these meetings, or of
Ignatius Onomatopoeia sent Pappy to meet my advisees' parents
Oronoque Westland: Hi everybody
AJ Brooks: Montclair State University or the College of Humanities and Social Sciences or Office of Information Technology at Montclair State.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: Heya O!
AJ Brooks: Our meetings are roundtable style, so those in the theater seats please come down and join us at the table.
Olivia Hotshot: Hi Oronoque
AJ Brooks: Our magic expanding table will always have an empty seat, located closest to the ramp.
AJ Brooks: Our topic/theme today is BLANK and our guest are BLANK [presentation by the Case Study Group]
Oronoque Westland: like expletives
Bill Friis: Blank guests.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: LOL I'll fix that in the transcript
Elani Matova: is the voice breaking up or is it me?
Mimi Muircastle: there are blank days :)
Spiral Theas: I can hear it alright...
AJ Brooks: This is a public meeting, so we do keep a transcript of what is said in local chat.
Bill Friis: Voice is fine here
Oronoque Westland: voice is ok for me
Zotarah Shepherd: I hear AJ clearly
AJ Brooks: For a copy of transcripts, please visit http://www.virtualworldsedu.info/slroundtable/
Profdan Netizen: Sounds good for me, Elani.
AJ Brooks: Special thanks to our resident scribe, Iggy Onomatopoeia, for taking care of this. If you've not seen the transcripts, you should check them out - they are a great information asset.
AJ Brooks: Information on FUTURE MEETINGS is available from the notecard giver on the West wall of the Amphitheater.
AJ Brooks: We have an amazing lineup of meeting for you, with topics set (subject to change) between now and the end of December.
AJ Brooks: The SL Education Roundtable meeting happens each week and we are looking to develop a community of educators from around the world with a variety of thoughts, needs, and ideas.
AJ Brooks: Please join the SL EDUCATION ROUNDTABLE group. If you have problems finding it in search, here inside the amphitheater, on the Eastern wall, you will see a display
AJ Brooks: Clicking the and follow the instruction in local chat on how to join the group.
AJ Brooks: As the group grows, there will be announcements, surveys, and decisions made that will be exclusive to the group.
AJ Brooks: Aside from the island we are currently on, Montclair State University also has two other educational islands adjoining to the north.
AJ Brooks: There are also numerous learning areas on these adjoining islands, Montclair State CHSS, which is home to our Quidditch pitch and the SL MSU Library,
AJ Brooks: and Montclair State CEHSADP, which is home to The Theorist Project and Wilber Middle School Library. Wander around and enjoy.
AJ Brooks: If you are on Facebook, please join our group there - http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=44078263753&ref=share
Mimi Muircastle: The Theorist project rocks :)
AJ Brooks: Thanks to Olivia Hotshot for putting together a Flickr group for the SLER. I encourage everyone to join the group and to take pictures from our meeting and add them to the group. Its a great way to show, and grow, our community.
Ashy Viper: hope everyone doesnt mind me sitting like this
Ashy Viper: dont know why it happens
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: no worries Ashy....we're all pals here :D
AJ Brooks: please tag yourself in the flickr pictures
AJ Brooks: Finally, if you have Mystitool on, or other similar tool, please put it to sleep or detach it for now. :-) It tends to lag things.
CathyWyo1 Haystack: ouch sorry
Dagmar Kojishi: lol. I will admit, Ashy, it's a bit disturbing, and that's interesting in itself. :)
AJ Brooks: As a hint, it is better to have "local chat" open for these meetings, it will help you follow the conversation better.
AJ Brooks: You can find local chat by clicking COMMUNICATE in the bottom navigation bar and you'll find LOCAL CHAT as one of the tabs at the bottom of the Communicate window.
Olivia Hotshot: <-- check avatar rendering to see how "high maintenance you are"
AJ Brooks: I'd also like to remind folks to come on down and join us around the table, there's always an open seat closest to the ramp.

Kali Pizzaro: Joy - Will explain the notecard it is in the box click on the plywood box
Kali Pizzaro: to get the notecard
AJ Brooks: peopel who are having problems with voice can IM Margaret Michalski
Kali Pizzaro: Joy - so the purpose of the notecard is to explain the goal of the project and ask for nominations
Elani Matova: Yes
Zdenek Buchsbaum: yes
Margaret Michalski: yes
Kali Pizzaro: The group has set a date for the end of the month is that ok for folks
Kali Pizzaro: this will be a evolving list
cyber Placebo: does it have to be implemented?
cyber Placebo: and reported upon
Kali Pizzaro: Joy - the date is a little flexible
cyber Placebo: I mean the case study?
Margaret Michalski: How many people can we nominate?
Kali Pizzaro: sorry who is this
Olivia Hotshot: Joy Rembrandt
Joy Rembrandt: I left out the name of one member: Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks
Margaret Michalski: open mic
Dagmar Kojishi: "Luke! I am you faaaaather!"
Marc Rexen: Alan, check your mic.
Kali Pizzaro: AJ - there is some discussion about an online form
Ida Galtier: Is anyone else having trouble getting the notecard?
Kali Pizzaro: Joy- later for online as no time
Katie Fenstalker: ok to share notecard with others?
Olivia Hotshot: Right click / touch - wait for lag
Kali Pizzaro: So notecard calling for nominations
Alan Sandalwood: Educators dont necessarily have to be teachers
Elani Matova: Could you restate how you would like us to get the notecards to you
Margaret Michalski: how many can we nominate?
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: I think we should invite all present to send this to their groups
Olivia Hotshot: AJ close mic
Kali Pizzaro: Joy- scroll to the bottom of the notecard
Kali Pizzaro: please put the rl name if you know it
Olivia Hotshot: there we go
Mimi Muircastle: we have not set a specific number of nominations
Kali Pizzaro: and fill in contact info
Kali Pizzaro: Nominate as many as you think are worth nominating
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: I'd like to bring up a point, if I may
Margaret Michalski: excellent!
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: Thanks
Kali Pizzaro: AJ- Instructor and student is open to interpretation
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: There is a piece of this that states that those nominated
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: should have an instructional role
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: I take this to mean that they were active in the creation of the instruction
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: not necessarily the faculty member
Kali Pizzaro: Joy- yes we may change that
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: could be an instructional technologist or librarian
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: not "giving grades"
Mimi Muircastle: yes Pip
Kail Pizzaro: AJ- as far as active in the creating yes they need to participate in the content of the teaching
Spiral Theas: Could I add something?
Kali Pizzaro: Does anyone want to say anything from the group
Kali Pizzaro: Spiral
Zotarah Shepherd: I am building a whole sim but not using it ...yet... to teach RL students. So that project would not fall in the category we are studying.
Spiral Theas: No problem
Spiral Theas: Go ahead, Joy
Spiral Theas: I'll add my bit later.
Kali Pizzaro: Joy -Can you go back to the notecard and add if you would like to learn more
Zdenek Buchsbaum: is the case studies only about nowadays instructors, or do you colect data about future instructor?
Kali Pizzaro: Please give a idea scroll to the bottom for the link to the wiki
Kali Pizzaro: we can continue discussions here
Kali Pizzaro: AJ- Zotarah is not using the sim but is developing it
Zotarah Shepherd: We have to start somewhere with the greatest need and that is for teachers to teach in SL. So those are the examples we understood would be most needes.
Zotarah Shepherd: needed*
Kali Pizzaro: does that not count at the moment
Dagmar Kojishi: No significant impact. :)
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- the case studies should show some advantages and disadvantages
Kali Pizzaro: is there some completion of the project and here is the evaluation - AJ thinks this is key
Ashy Viper: can I say something .... SL teachers are involved ...is there any role for other teachers who dont teach in SL?
Ashy Viper: can they participate?
Zotarah Shepherd: Lindens already document the larger projects on the education wiki, so we do not want to duplicate that work.
Elani Matova: Do you need to see "grades"? Or is student work? etc
Zotarah Shepherd: Yes
Ashy Viper: how might I ask
Kali Pizzaro: teach the teachers counts this is important
Olivia Hotshot: AJ - mic
Spiral Theas: Yes.
Olivia Hotshot: heh
Spiral Theas: Since the point of the case studies is to showcase SL education activities.
Kali Pizzaro: we are only wanting in sl at the moment
Kali Pizzaro: teaching in sl at the moment
Olivia Hotshot: well, we got to hear her twice.
Elani Matova: what sort of evidence on student learning would you be looking for?
Kali Pizzaro: Aj is a multitasker
Bill Friis: hehe
Kali Pizzaro: Alany your question we are not sure of the evaluation at the moment
Kali Pizzaro: we are open to a lot of demo's and what was the advantages and disadvanteges and here is the reasons why
Birdie Newcomb: I've got one of those...
Kali Pizzaro: This is critical to share
Spiral Theas: I wanted to sure to mention that members of this group can and should feel free to nominate themselves (so many of you are doing interesting educational things!). We were trying to be very open with the definition of "instructor" and "student" - there are many instructional experiences going on in SL that might not adhere to traditional definitions and it would be good to know about those. But we do think that there should be some outcomes and reflection on the part of the educator about what worked/what didn't.
Zotarah Shepherd: I would eventually like to see us include librarians and instructional designers projects whose work will inform teachers. Place they might take their students. Like teachers take their students to my Multiple Intelligences build and I do some presentations but I don't use it for teachjing RL students.
Katie Fenstalker: didn't work and you need help figuring out why?
Mimi Muircastle: blush :)
Elani Matova: If we have student work to share--not builds but actual research papers, a discussion board in flickr etc, do we need to contact our former students for permission to use their work?
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- The notecard is more of guiding principles but not set in stone
Mimi Muircastle: @elani, I would think you would need permission
Zotarah Shepherd: I think if you have input you could IM or send a Notecard to any of us at any time.
Spiral Theas: Good question, Elani. I think you would need permission.
Kali Pizzaro: reference
Kali Pizzaro: ethical
Dagmar Kojishi: Linden Lab's policies come into play there, as well.
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- if you are just speaking about your teaching but not naming folk then may be ok
Zotarah Shepherd: I have to get student permission if I use something about them. I might have to do that for my MA project.
CathyWyo1 Haystack: has not impact
CathyWyo1 Haystack: on the students
Profesora Farigoule: as far as permissions - if it is specific student work - would probably need citation and/or permission :)
Kali Pizzaro: Still discussing this area
CathyWyo1 Haystack: does not reveal personal information
Mimi Muircastle: yes, Cathy
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- Individuals will nominate themselves or others
Kali Pizzaro: The group will then vet them and contact the individuals for more details
Profesora Farigoule: as a design prof, i routinely get students to give/reject permissions at beginning of term - keep on file as a matter of course
Spiral Theas: That sounds right to me, AJ. Work in progress.
Kali Pizzaro: then look at the common themes which may have sub groups
Ashy Viper: permission is usually not needed for data collected from local chat (group discussions etc.) but if it is private chat or individual student work, then I think yes permission is needed
Kali Pizzaro: The group wants to promote the sharing of info and ideas
Mimi Muircastle: yes, this is a work in progress that we want to benefit all so yes, help us out with your ideas
Zotarah Shepherd: I would like to know about the projects each of you are doing. If you want to be in the study let us know and we can tell you if your project fit now or maybe we can consider it later.
Elani Matova: That would be helpful--if the committee works with us on the type of evidence you would need, and permissions if any.
Joy Rembrandt: we also welcome your questions
Spiral Theas: I would be interested to hear what elements of a cases study this group would find most helpful.
Zotarah Shepherd: I would rather have too many than not enough too.
Spiral Theas: helpful.
Mimi Muircastle: yes, Spiral, I would too
Kali Pizzaro: Joy - let us here your ideas please
CathyWyo1 Haystack: Is it focused on second life only or are other virtual worlds included
Kavon Zenovka: more on immersion - thinking want to see more NPIRL (not possible in real life)
Katie Fenstalker: NPIL means?
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- what elements would be interested in - is key word the best way to search
SeaRose Charisma: grade level
Firery Broome: Not Possible in Real Life
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- institutions , area of work etc
Katie Fenstalker: ty Firery
Spiral Theas: That makes sense to me.
Firery Broome: yw
Olivia Hotshot: this is the SL ed group
Kali Pizzaro: Joy to Cathy q - SL at the moment only
Zotarah Shepherd: Constructivist, constructionist, interactive building, student builds are also key words I would look for.
Elani Matova: online, hybrid, interdisciplinary,
Olivia Hotshot: maybe a bigger project is out there.
Kali Pizzaro: Health i would like
Olivia Hotshot: potential for scalability too
Kali Pizzaro: important to me
CathyWyo1 Haystack: Is a portion of the instruction occurring in second life or
Katie Fenstalker: classes about SL itself?
Zotarah Shepherd: Yes good point.
CathyWyo1 Haystack: ahhh you are answering my question
Margaret Michalski: grade level, subject, institution, category
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- how many students etc
Ashy Viper: how about multilingualism and identity projection? as a subject I mean
Birdie Newcomb: From a librarian's point of view, assessment is hard to achieve
Profdan Netizen: scalability also on instructor level--doing a full load in SL
Rebekah Cavan: cathywyo1 haystack: see www.jvwe.org for research in other worlds. first issue due out in February
Kali Pizzaro: AJ-- pedagogy theories of learning can be misinterpreted
Kali Pizzaro: what do folks think?
Zotarah Shepherd: I would like to know the basis of their philosophy
Zotarah Shepherd: Machinima for each one would be great.
Dagmar Kojishi: Have to run, folks, gotta take care of a RL obligation. Thanks for being here!
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: If the nominee feels those theories and factors are important/integral to their project, then it could be discussed, certainly
Spiral Theas: Birdie, remember that the assessment we're looking for is not test scores, necessarily - mostly just a reflection on what worked, what didn't.
Kali Pizzaro: Alan - this is a living interface talk about the projects would be useful
Elani Matova: historical projects, activism,
Olivia Hotshot: Would also like to see these people present inworld at a conference - or a presentation here.
Spiral Theas: Great idea, Olivia!
Katie Fenstalker: reflection rather than assessment?
Mimi Muircastle: yes, Olivia
Kali Pizzaro: AJ- understand that assessment is not looking for formal assessment
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: It could be the educator's personal assessment of the project
Zotarah Shepherd: Self assessment or of the project
AstroGrl Enzo: What I would like to see is perhaps and outline of the construction of the case
Kali Pizzaro: what worked why what did not work
Zotarah Shepherd: yes
Mimi Muircastle: yes, Pip
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: rather than formal assessment
Olivia Hotshot: Thank you Spiral.
AstroGrl Enzo: sounds like what AJ is saying
Birdie Newcomb: I've been involved in events and exhibits -- can be educational, but not like a class
Joy Rembrandt: please add to the list on the notecard: Members of Case Study Work Group: Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks and Spiral Theas
Spiral Theas: Yes, Birdie - exactly!
Oronoque Westland: sorry, I have a lot happening at the moment --- are we including persons who are connected with in-world only institutions as well?
Olivia Hotshot: I am still working on the idea of the Chico Rubric for online instruction to be extended to the virtual world. Lolly and I want to develop it.
Kali Pizzaro: Joy sorry for spelling your name
Kali Pizzaro: wrong
Spiral Theas: Things like events and exhibits are important educational activities and those would be wonderful candidates for this.
Kali Pizzaro: Joy- asked aj to send the notecard to all sler list
Lolly Dovgal: Yes, I think a rubric could be very helpful.
Mimi Muircastle: yes spiral
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- said yes
Olivia Hotshot: Maybe these people could also be represented at the next linden Educationa Faire.
Zotarah Shepherd: I would like to send the notecard to be sent to all education groups so we get more submissions.
Zotarah Shepherd: Yes AJ
Spiral Theas: No, Oronoque - any one who is doing any teaching in SL - who has had an educational experience and has some results that they can reflect on.
Lolly Dovgal: Good idea.
Zotarah Shepherd: To everyone
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- send this to ever educator you know
Mimi Muircastle: immersive :)
Pipsqueak Fiddlesticks: Or if you see a project that rocks...send it to the instructor
Olivia Hotshot: totally immersive, Mimi. =)
Oronoque Westland: and help us all to catch more fish
Kali Pizzaro: This will push up the case studies and will link similar areas
Kali Pizzaro: and people
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: we'll have some evidence for those pesky assessment folks now :)
Kali Pizzaro: joy- this is the first initial notecard and please read reflect and respond
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- this is needs to snowball
Birdie Newcomb: What will be the outcome of this report? Posted on a wiki?
Lolly Dovgal: Good thinking, really!
Zotarah Shepherd: When we get enough submissions we can organize it to be more useful to teachers.
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- snowball or viral - mmmn good choice of words at the moment
Kali Pizzaro: sler flu?
Zdenek Buchsbaum: see you next week. bye
Zotarah Shepherd: I see this as an ongoing process.
Spiral Theas: We have a wiki now Birdie. Not sure exactly what the final form will be.
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- this needs to be continuously reviewed
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: tc Zdenek
Birdie Newcomb: how will newbies find it?
Kali Pizzaro: Ahis is not a report this is a sharing exercise and the wed presence is there already in the sler
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: some nut in a tophat with a database :D
Kali Pizzaro: web
Spiral Theas: And, of course, once we have all of this spiffy data in the database that AJ describes, we could also "spit out" a few white-paper like documents that might be easier for newbies or non-SLers to read/review.
Kali Pizzaro: Aj - this will be online to enable adding keywords and checking lists of studies to be searched
Zotarah Shepherd: 40 people here today. I hope we hear from each one of you with your nominations.
Spiral Theas: blushes.
Kali Pizzaro: The wiki is set up thanks Spiral
Profesora Farigoule is making her notes already
Spiral Theas: Yes, indeed! At least one nomination from everyone here.
Katie Fenstalker: sending out notecard already.
Kali Pizzaro: So if we want to add stuff do so on the wiki at the mo
Zotarah Shepherd: Cloud keywords maybe.
Margaret Michalski: Is there one specific member to whom we should send comments & questions.
Kali Pizzaro: Aj- the vision is a searchable webpage. if anyone has experience of this and is willing to help IM him.
Kali Pizzaro: We are down to the last few mins
Olivia Hotshot: We know you're crazy AJ. =D Yu hang out with us.
Olivia Hotshot: welcome .
Kali Pizzaro: AJ- we wanted to put out what was going on now
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: will do
Kali Pizzaro: Iggy give me the transcript
Kali Pizzaro: hehe
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: yes ma'am
Olivia Hotshot: The timing for this project is perfect.
Lolly Dovgal: I didn't hear any reaction to Olivia and my idea for using a Rubric for SL Instruction...
Profdan Netizen: One thing that really needs to be forefront in many case studies--student voices.
Alan Sandalwood: Yes
Zotarah Shepherd: yes
Kali Pizzaro: AJ- if you have nomination please forward a notecard
Zotarah Shepherd: Notecards are best.
Alan Sandalwood: Getting capped all the time
AJ Brooks: thats correct
Lolly Dovgal: Not necessarily.'
Olivia Hotshot: We have a rubric for online instruction.
Lolly Dovgal: See this url
