Virtuola Scientist: Schweet!
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: that's it
AJ Brooks: Our topic/theme today is Future Meetings - Topics and Guests

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.

AJ Brooks: Before we start our meeting today, I have an important announcement to make.
AJ Brooks: In March of 2008 the idea was born for a weekly roundtable meeting focused on a specific topic each week. The idea was to bring a bit of democracy to the process of discussing education in this new and adventurous world we'd all found ourselves in.
AJ Brooks: The group was called the SL Education Roundtable and the idea was for all of us to, quite literally, sit around a round table and talk with each other.
AJ Brooks: Over time the meeting group grew to 40 or more attending each week, with nearly 400 members in our Second Life (c) in-world group and over 400 members in our Facebook group.
AJ Brooks: Through the efforts of both a handful of dedicated volunteers, as well as a broad and diverse group of people participating on a regular basis, the group has seen a fair amount of success.
AJ Brooks: SLER was never meant to be a bully pulpit from which controversial ideas or political dramas were fostered.
AJ Brooks: Our role has been to create an environment within which many thoughts and ideas can be talked about and shared, without anyone feeling like theirs were bad or wrong or unwelcome.
AJ Brooks: In many ways, this group has become somewhat of a news media outlet, where topical ideas are raised and discussed without the gloss of one side versus the others.
AJ Brooks: This is not to say our conversations cannot get heated, or interesting, but the organization itself does not take sides, it just facilitates conversation.
AJ Brooks: Since that day nearly two years ago, the landscape has changed. Technology has changed. Virtual worlds have changed. Second Life has changed. And now it is time for our organization to also change.
AJ Brooks: In order to acknowledge that there are many virtual worlds out there to be talked about, and proactively moving into compliance with the Linden Lab restriction of the use of the "SL" in any name, effective January 6th, this group will be called
AJ Brooks: The Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable.
AJ Brooks: In addition, effective immediately, Our scope will broaden beyond the weekly meetings every Tuesday in Second Life, at Montclair State University's virtual campus.
Viv Trafalgar whistles and claps loudly
AJ Brooks: We will continue to hold our Tuesday weekly meeting in Second Life.
AJ Brooks: We will also be holding additional meetings on other days in other virtual worlds, including one tomorrow, Wednesday November 18th at 3:00pm Eastern Time, in Rezzable's simulation, Heritage Key.
AJ Brooks: In the future we will also be meeting in Metaplace, Reaction grid, as well as other virtual world grids.
AJ Brooks: A new Second Life group, Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable (VWER), has already been created and, as of today, will begin to accept membership.
AJ Brooks: Although we will leave the original SLER group open, effective today, no new members will be allowed to join this group.
AJ Brooks: There are also Flickr and Koinup groups making use of the new name, a Facebook group, and a Twitter account. We feel the time between today and January 6th will allow all of those interested to make this important and exciting transition with us.
AJ Brooks: Great thanks to all those who support The Roundtable efforts and activities. We're looking forward to even better programming for our regular meetings as well as expanding our virtual worlds vocabulary.
AJ Brooks: Does anyone have any questions?
Grinn Pidgeon: Where can we easily find instructions to get into those other VWs? Are they all Mac friendly?
Zotarah Shepherd: So we should leave SLER and join VWER?
Olivia Hotshot claps
Noir Nagy: will you have a list of other worlds?
Olivia Hotshot: All are Mac friendly.
Ahlan Oh: Virtual Worlds Education Roundtable doesn't show up in Group search. How does one join?
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: no Mac, no Iggy :D
Mimi Muircastle: same question :)
Olivia Hotshot: Email? Or notices?
Ahlan Oh: (it would be very cool to have a multi-virtual world roundtable simultaneously!)
Kathryn Pleides: same again
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: Iggyo Heritage is my avatar at Heritage Key, and he'll be on that grid tomorow where my class is doing work.
Zotarah Shepherd: Different topics at each meeting?

AJ Brooks: lest start with topics
AJ Brooks: anyone have any topics they'd like to see talked about
Esparanza Freese: I attended a mini conference sponsored by the SL Bar Association this past weekend and it was fantastic! I asked one of the presenters,

He is Chair of the SL Bar Association and Chair-Elect of the American Bar Association Section of Science and Technology Law, and a member of its Virtual Worlds and Multiuser Online Games Committee. See his website at www.ckwlaw.com.
Zotarah Shepherd: Thank you for the invite Olivia
Noir Nagy: I would like to see guests who can help me convince my school to invest more time in the VR platform education.
AJ Brooks: it would need to be something that we could talk about for an hour or so
AJ Brooks: ok - so we have legal issues in virtual worlds as one topic idea
Zotarah Shepherd: Yay I am a "Member" hehe.
Mimi Muircastle: ty olivia - must drop a group first :)
AJ Brooks: noir, how could we couch that idea as a meeting theme?
Noir Nagy: sounds good to me.
AJ Brooks: what sounds good to you? LOL - i'm confused
Noir Nagy: It is amazing how much resistance there is to saving money.
AJ Brooks: how could we take your idea and make it into a meeting topic
Olivia Hotshot: Did i get everyone at the table?
Zotarah Shepherd: My class on Education is SL at SSU was cancelled due to only 2 people registering.
AJ Brooks: anyone else can chime in also - Noir said "Noir Nagy: I would like to see gueasts wh ocan help me convince my school to invest more time in the VR platform education."
AJ Brooks: so how do we make that a meeting topic?
Grinn Pidgeon: VWing in an era of budget cuts
AJ Brooks: broad - short - to the point
Angelia Halsey: Olivia get everyone for what?
Noir Nagy: oh, I misunderstood. I thought you meant you would have speakers and discussion on teh topic in one meeting.
AJ Brooks: Virtual Worlds in the era of budget cuts?
Grinn Pidgeon: yes
Zotarah Shepherd: So finding ways to bring new teachers into SL would be great.
Viv Trafalgar: Virtual Worlds in the era of Swine Flu
AJ Brooks: Noir - does that cover your idea?
Olivia Hotshot: I sent out group invitations Angelia.
Noir Nagy: it is a good start.
Angelia Halsey: did not receive group invite
Zotarah Shepherd: SL would help school budgets and students home sick with flu.
Noir Nagy: Virtual worlds, not just games, but serious education.....

Olivia Hotshot: Welcome.
Olivia Hotshot: I posted the Heritage Key download information - but we still need the URL for the meeting login.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: I'd love a session on visual literacy and How SL encouraged that---sorry for the lag but I had an IM from a student
Zotarah Shepherd: I am glad we have slow growth in SL Education so we have a chance to develop the culture, but now I would like to see more so it is easier for the rest of us to be taken more seriously.
AJ Brooks: visual literacy
AJ Brooks: interesting
AJ Brooks: what other ideas
Zotarah Shepherd: Yes Iggy
Kali Pizzaro: Ah Iggy building on from what we were talking about last week

Ignatius Onomatopoeia: literacy in 3D
Kali Pizzaro: ha
Mimi Muircastle: maybe some comparisons between virtual worlds and how education is faciitated in each one?
Sheila Yoshikawa: Convincing STUDENTS of the value of using virtual worlds - that it is not "silly" but in future might be an employability skills (be be comfortable in a VW) (I mean, where that IS the case, don't mean "fooling students")
Macdara Saxondale: does SL enhance the learning experience
Noir Nagy: spelling literacy with 3Ds?
Kali Pizzaro: haha
Zotarah Shepherd: I keep thinking about how we are not preparing students for the Technolgy of their future.
Jarrad Voom: tools for teaching in vw
Sheila Yoshikawa: so - conversations that work with students etc
Angelia Halsey: ways to use SL as office hours?
Sheila Yoshikawa: I mean, even if the pedagogic reasons are clear and sound, students sometimes need convincing
Zotarah Shepherd: There are more peer reviewed articles now but not much research in VWs.
Noir Nagy: I have been working with professional schools, like training prison guards and firefighters and Police officers.. There has to be a series of topics there as well.
Zotarah Shepherd: Yes Noir
Kali Pizzaro: bridging the gap using VWs communication tools to give feedback to students
Kali Pizzaro: free
Sheila Yoshikawa: SL as an environment to stimulate reflection - ways of doing that
Romane Levee: Suggested topics: (1) Science and National Energy Policy, (2) Strategies to Reduce the Need for Crude Oil Imports into North America, (3) Solving Global Problems Efficiently using Virtual Reality.

Romane Levee: Three topics for your consideration.
Mimi Muircastle: yes Olivia - great idea:)
Angelia Halsey: yes Olivia
Olivia Hotshot: Also, can we get the Case Studies group back?

Mimi Muircastle: I am open to keeping the Case studies going again :)
AJ Brooks: how about specific guests
Zotarah Shepherd: I would like to see one of the "Obama Tech Edu 18" do a presentation here.
Sheila Yoshikawa: Scanning back - some vocational areas were mentioned - could be scope for focusing on a number of different vocational groups
AJ Brooks: does anyone have names of people in SL they'd like to see speak at our special first of the month meetings?
Olivia Hotshot: Ohh Zotarah that is a good idea.
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: can we get Tom Bukowski back now that I'm reading his book??
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: he did say he'd return
AJ Brooks: I'm love to have tom back at some point, he was an awesome guest
AJ Brooks: and I'd love to have Barry as a guest, he was the guy who attended the ISTE meeting
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: awesome book too--Coming of Age in Second Life
AJ Brooks: I'll work on that right away, but it would be for February and the report will be long done by then
Mimi Muircastle: how about Raph Koster!
Zotarah Shepherd: I would like to slao see a presentation on "Play in VWs in education". How we can make better use of VW tools to make learning more fun.
AJ Brooks: we've tried to get him, he's rather elusive
Katya Anatine: Using SL as the context for learning an qualitative research methoology ould b interesting
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: @Mimi--we are tryng and trying :D
AJ Brooks: but we'll keep trying
Ignatius Onomatopoeia: LOL
Mimi Muircastle: whose elusive, Raph?
Noir Nagy: for vocational ed, people can tour some ot the areas I set up in Sl

Mimi Muircastle: I will work on Metaplace and us !
AJ Brooks: a number of other orgs do those, like NMC and ISTE
Virtuola Scientist: Sorry--got interrupted

Virtuola Scientist: I'd like to see something on SL and diversity
AJ Brooks: say more about that Virtuola

Romane Levee: OK, so for how much time, Noir?
Kali Pizzaro: haha no
Olivia Hotshot: hehe
Kali Pizzaro: cheeky
AJ Brooks: Folks - last call on ideas
