[5:25] Clare Foss: Is there another Clare trying to come to the room? [5:25] Webhead Link: we're typing at the keyboard [5:25] susan Williams: Imy anser to icebreaker question I would think someone who may want to learn a language in 2nd life may be someone who is lacking in confidence in real life re language [5:25] Susan Khalifa: Oh, I see; thanks Vance [5:26] Babette Hanson: Baldric--how do you stretch?

[5:49] Chris Eggplant: susan kh, use your mouse and move to the right of you avatar and hold for a second. Your head will move [5:49] Susan Khalifa: Or anything else you might want to explain [5:49] Pafiki Paravane: I like your creative avatar.

[5:56] Pafiki Paravane: Where are you going? [5:56] Pafiki Paravane: I didn't get the place? [5:56] Pafiki Paravane: Where did they transport to? [5:56] Susan Khalifa: Beats me. Graham? [5:57] Kati Voss is Online [5:57] IM: Susan Khalifa: Graham, I'm lost [5:58] Pafiki Paravane: I just looked at the history of the chat and they went to a place called edunation seminar room [5:58] Pafiki Paravane: I think I will try this. [5:58] Susan Khalifa: How'd you go there? I tried but it didni't work [5:58] IM: Chris Eggplant: hiya baldric- we have lost you - can you teleport [5:58] You: click on the teleporter [5:58] THiNC Teleporter PRO (Copy) whispers: Location: EduNation EduShop Coordinates: <179,218,22> [5:59] EduNation Visitor Map Dispenser: Wear this object to display the Visitor Map - your position is marked by a yellow arrow.

[6:04] You have offered friendship to Johan Jaxa [6:04] Susan Khalifa: How do you offer teleport to someone not in the room? [6:04] Johan Jaxa: baldric?

[6:04] You have offered friendship to Daf Smirnov [6:04] Busy Link: Ah, there's baldy Daf :-)) [6:04] You have offered friendship to Pafiki Paravane [6:05] You: hi everyone [6:05] Bute Sodwind: hi [6:05] Daf Smirnov: yes, baldy me [6:05] You: Is daf here? [6:05] You: hi daf [6:06] Busy Link: Come and sit next to Clare Foss [6:06] You: I see you now [6:06] Busy Link: I think it's Mabel [6:06] Susan Khalifa: Graham, I really have to leave; how can I add this place to my 'favorites'( if you get me) so I can find it easily next time? [6:06] Daf Smirnov is Online [6:06] Johan Jaxa: make a landmark? [6:06] Chris Eggplant: susan kh - at the top of your screen, you will see the 'world' menu dropdown list [6:06] Susan Khalifa: Yes, I guess [6:06] Clare Foss: yes, it's me Moira. I feel a bit frustrated because I can hear you perfectely but I can't speak [6:06] Chris Eggplant: click on it and then click on 'create landmark here' [6:06] Susan Khalifa: Okay, what next [6:07] susan Williams is Online [6:07] Clare Foss: thank you Moira! [6:07] You: ok everyone, I'm going to start [6:07] Daf Smirnov: go ahead [6:07] You: I'm trying out a chat feeder (with the presentation pre-loaded) [6:07] Baldric Commons: Hello everyone and welcome... [6:07] Pafiki Paravane: Hello Brute [6:07] Baldric Commons: Today, I'd like to present a proposal for a project... [6:08] Baldric Commons: ...for a self access centre for teenage EFL/ESL students... [6:08] Pafiki Paravane: Is there supposed to be sound? I don't hear anything? [6:08] Baldric Commons: ...in Second Life, on the teen grid. [6:08] Daf Smirnov: that sounds great [6:08] You: there's no sound Pafiki [6:08] Baldric Commons: The idea is to create an island... [6:08] Kati Voss: I can hear music [6:08] Pafiki Paravane: Oh, I see. Thanks for letting me know. [6:08] Daf Smirnov: I can hear people typing [6:08] Baldric Commons: ...can meet up and learn some English in a fun way. [6:08] Baldric Commons: ...where non-native English language learners... [6:08] Baldric Commons: It's still only an outline... [6:09] Susan Khalifa: It sounds nice [6:09] Bute Sodwind is Online [6:09] Meno Rich: some back channel audio chat is also streaming at http://webheadsinaction.org/ channel 1 or 2 [6:09] susan Williams: good idea baldric [6:09] susan Williams: have you thought about security issues [6:09] Pafiki Paravane: Is there a way to have the program develop sound. For English learners I think that sure would help. [6:10] Susan Khalifa: I'm very sorry to interrupt but I have to leave. Bye for now everyone, and thanks! Thanks a lot, Graham! [6:10] Susan Khalifa: It was a wonderful experience [6:10] Pafiki Paravane: Bye Susan [6:10] Pafiki Paravane: Hello Vance [6:10] Chris Eggplant: by susan [6:10] Baldric Commons: ...and I'd love to hear suggestions from people today... [6:10] Susan Khalifa: Bye! :-) [6:10] susan Williams: bye [6:10] You: thanks susan [6:10] Pafiki Paravane: I like your mustache! :-) [6:10] Pafiki Paravane: I'm glad you could make it [6:10] Baldric Commons: ...about what could be done... [6:10] Baldric Commons: ...to make this project interesting... [6:11] Baldric Commons: ...and viable. [6:11] Baldric Commons: I presented this project to the British Council in Madrid on Saturday... [6:11] Baldric Commons: and the idea is to take the basic ideas to the next level, and develop... [6:11] Baldric Commons: ...a serious proposal, and then set it up and run it as a trial... [6:11] Baldric Commons: So, for those people here who don't know it, SL has two worlds... [6:11] Webhead Link: how do I use ventrilo now? I downloaded it [6:11] susan Williams: who are youthinking of asking to fund? [6:11] susan Williams: british council? [6:11] Baldric Commons: the 'Adult Grid', where we are now, and the 'Teen Grid'. [6:11] You: that's right, susan [6:11] Kati Voss: perhaps we could all bring some of our students and work on a joint project [6:11] You: the idea would be to make it open to any teen though [6:12] Kati Voss: I see [6:12] Bute Sodwind: nice [6:12] Sara Alturas is Online [6:12] You: yes, I think that would be the idea [6:12] Baldric Commons: Adults can't visit the teen grid, and teens can't visit the adult grid. [6:12] Johan Jaxa: so it doesn't matter what their native language is baldrick? [6:12] Baldric Commons: The only exception is when educators have a project on an island that is open... [6:12] Baldric Commons: ...to the teen grid residents. [6:12] You: yes, Johan [6:12] Johan Jaxa: ehh it does matter? [6:12] You: the idea is for any efl/esl learner to be able to join in [6:12] You: 13-17 [6:12] Meno Rich: trying to answer moira, but it's not getting me [6:12] Baldric Commons: For that to happen, you have to go through some kind of check... [6:12] Kati Voss: I think we should study the teen grid first [6:13] Johan Jaxa: sorry what does efl/esl mean? [6:13] Baldric Commons: ...and you arer clearly labelled as an adult (in some way). [6:13] Valentina Dodge is Online [6:13] susan Williams: so how could we validate that joiners were really teeangers [6:13] Baldric Commons: The idea is to appeal to the 'digital natives', especially those students who... [6:13] Johan Jaxa: i am from holland so not familiar with those [6:13] susan Williams: and not adults [6:13] You: that's a good question susan [6:13] Daf Smirnov: EFL= English as a Forieign Language [6:13] Johan Jaxa: ahh right [6:13] Daf Smirnov: EST= English as a second language [6:13] You: if someone is caught lying they are banned from SL [6:13] Johan Jaxa: thanks [6:13] Baldric Commons: ...are into gaming. [6:13] Daf Smirnov: ESL I meant [6:14] Baldric Commons: As more and more serious companies are establishing a presence in SL... [6:14] Webhead Link: how does one use ventrilo once one installs it? [6:14] Baldric Commons: ...the idea of it being a platform that is here to stay... [6:14] Busy Link: Jeff, I heard 'OK' [6:14] Baldric Commons: ...is increasing. And interest for projects such as this should be easier to gain. [6:14] susan Williams: i would think we really have to be tight with registration to the group [6:14] Baldric Commons: There are already many educational projects underway, both... [6:14] Pafiki Paravane: What is ventrilo? Is it a voice program? [6:14] Meno Rich: I'm not hearing anyone else in ventrilo [6:14] susan Williams: otherwise there is the possibility of really heavy security problems [6:14] Meno Rich: yes [6:14] Meno Rich: ventrilo.com [6:14] Webhead Link: YES are you listening to the worldbridges stream? [6:14] You: yes, security is an issue [6:15] You: but anyone can use the right click 'report abuse' option to inform about an incident [6:15] Webhead Link: i can hear you in hte stream so you can TELL me [6:15] Pafiki Paravane: No, How do I listen to the worldbridges stream? [6:15] Baldric Commons: ...here in the adult grid, and in the teen grid. [6:15] Baldric Commons: Here are some of them. There are many more than shown here, of course. [6:15] Webhead Link: but I don't see how to start ventrilo [6:15] Busy Link: I can hear you now Jeff [6:15] Baldric Commons: What are the benfits of an educatiuonal organisation to having a project in SL? [6:15] Webhead Link: the stream is at webheadinaction.org [6:15] Baldric Commons: Well, apart from the appeal to teenage learners, there are also other factors. [6:16] Baldric Commons: The initial ideas for an island project involve establishing areas... [6:16] Baldric Commons: ...set up according to CEF levels, so that learners of the same level can find... [6:16] Baldric Commons: ...self-access resources apllicable to them, and also... [6:16] Webhead Link: maybe I'll do an internet search and see if I can fiture it out [6:17] Daf Smirnov: I am now listening [6:17] Daf Smirnov: to Moira [6:17] Webhead Link: you can tell me how to use ventril0 [6:17] Baldric Commons: ...can chat to others who have the same level of English. [6:17] Baldric Commons: I also think it would be a great idea to try and set up a mentor programme... [6:17] Pafiki Paravane: Baldric how do you change your slides we are looking at? Did you install some sort of PowerPoint? [6:17] Baldric Commons: to persuade teens to help out and teach those who are new to SL... [6:18] Daf Smirnov: yes, i am listening to the stream [6:18] You: Pafiki - it's the tool to the right of the screen [6:18] Clare Foss: Vance wants to know how to get started with Ventrilo [6:18] Baldric Commons: ...how best to use it - something which will be particularly challenging... [6:18] Babette Hanson: I can hear the Webheads stream, but can't get anyone in the chat room? [6:18] Pafiki Paravane: What is the tool called? [6:18] Babette Hanson: Is Jeff here? [6:18] Webhead Link: ventrilo at ventrilo.com [6:18] You: THiNC BiG Display System v1.1 [6:19] Daf Smirnov: yes, Jeff is here [6:19] Baldric Commons: ...to those whose first language is not English. [6:19] Baldric Commons: I still haven't worked out what the incentives might be to these mentors, but... [6:19] Daf Smirnov: next to me [6:19] Meno Rich: yes [6:19] Baldric Commons: ...I think potentially it could work. [6:19] Webhead Link: i can hear you on the stream [6:19] Meno Rich: jeff is here [6:19] Baldric Commons: So, that is about it at the moment. As you can see, it's still very much... [6:19] Baldric Commons: ...only an idea. There are many ways you could go... [6:19] Baldric Commons: I'd appreciate any ideas that people may have. [6:19] Baldric Commons: The floor is now yours...Thankyou for listening. [6:19] Webhead Link: can't use skype and was hoping for ventilo [6:19] Johan Jaxa: Baldrick sounds like a wonderfulidea [6:19] susan Williams: baldric I would think its a potentially interesting idea [6:19] Kati Voss: I am thinking about the problem of placement [6:19] susan Williams: but lots of issues [6:19] Second Life: Your object 'Comfy Couch' has been returned to your inventory lost and found folder by The Consultants-E from parcel 'EduNation - WebHeads' at EduNation 105.526, 236.999 due to parcel auto return. [6:19] Babette Hanson: Why are we sitting in rows? [6:19] Daf Smirnov: I love the idea, Graham [6:20] susan Williams: sorry not trtying to be negative [6:20] Kati Voss: how to classify students [6:20] susan Williams: as i think theyre all sortable [6:20] Webhead Link: because the chairs are placed in rows? [6:20] You: no, I appreciate any ideas you may have - objections and problems too [6:20] susan Williams: ok [6:20] Johan Jaxa: you are part of a school? [6:20] You: yes, I think this is voluntary [6:20] You: the students decide where they want to go on the issland [6:21] Babette Hanson: I have Skype open, but see Jeff is unavailable. [6:21] You: they can go to parts of the island which are designed for higher levels... [6:21] Webhead Link: you can listen to them on webheadsinaction.org [6:21] Bute Sodwind: you mentined mentors - are they there to help out, facilitate, teach? [6:21] Meno Rich: jeff usually appears unavailable [6:21] You: ...but might not be able to understand the materials there foir them [6:21] Meno Rich: skypecast at: https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/skypecast/detailed.html?id_talk=... [6:21] Webhead Link: not some ONE exactly, some THINKG [6:22] Kati Voss: I think it is hard to think about specific ideas before we see how the teenage grid woks. Is is similar to the adult one? [6:22] You: it is kati [6:22] Babette Hanson: There-I can see everyone now. [6:22] susan Williams: baldric [6:22] susan Williams: would it be an idea [6:22] You: but we can't join it [6:22] Babette Hanson: Same problem as a lecture hall [6:22] You: it's just for teens [6:22] susan Williams: after this conversation [6:23] Webhead Link: I'm on a web page that explains ventilo [6:23] susan Williams: to ask everyone to contribute to a blog/wiki/ so that we have a more formulated set of ideas [6:23] IM: Meno Rich: feel free to skype directly if you like [6:23] susan Williams: (chris' idea) [6:23] Babette Hanson: I can hear Vance in Webheads.org, but can't figure out where the chat there is? [6:23] Babette Hanson: any help? [6:23] Webhead Link: you have to start the client on your computer [6:23] Kati Voss: great idea about the wiki [6:23] Webhead Link: then find the server hosting the ventilo chat [6:23] Webhead Link: mabye that's why it's not working [6:24] susan Williams: baldric chris has offered to set up if you would like [6:24] Johan Jaxa: i wonder how you will tempt the kids to go there and learn [6:24] Babette Hanson: Hi Valentina [6:24] Webhead Link: what'sthe host IP for ventrilo [6:24] You: yes, that's a very good question Johan [6:24] Valentina Dodge: Hello sorry to interupt! [6:24] Johan Jaxa: i mean... did we see any good examples [6:24] You: I think some will go because of the interest in gaming [6:25] Johan Jaxa: yes...i agree with you baldric.. but it is an assumption [6:25] You: if it feels like it's fun and not work then that would help [6:25] You: you're right Johan [6:25] Falk Bergman is Online [6:25] Johan Jaxa: i am not scepticle at all.. i am very interested in those ideas myself [6:25] You: I'm looking at the projects that already happening on the teen grid, run by educators [6:25] Daf Smirnov: hi Dave [6:25] Johan Jaxa: okay.. and what is your opinion about it baldric? [6:26] susan Williams: hi everyone [6:26] susan Williams: theres too many conversations at once [6:26] You: to try and brainstorm and learn how best to do something like this [6:26] susan Williams: could i suggest baldric facilitates [6:26] Pafiki Paravane: I went to webheads.org and can only access Jim Banister's narrative. How can I hear people talking? [6:26] susan Williams: and anyone who wants to speak puts up their hand [6:26] Johan Jaxa: good idea susan [6:26] susan Williams: and baldric invites [6:26] susan Williams: sorry if that sounded bossy [6:26] You: that is a good idea susan [6:26] Johan Jaxa: how do you put up your hand? [6:27] David Delling: Hi Daf [6:27] Kati Voss: no, not at all Susan [6:27] You: valentina? Are there any ways of turn taking for questions? [6:27] Kati Voss: Over here!

[6:33] Sara Alturas is Offline [6:33] Daf Smirnov: the url vanishes before I can copy it :-( [6:33] Meno Rich: click history [6:33] Babette Hanson: Use history Johan [6:34] David Delling: For ventrilo it helps to set it up (in 'setup') a 'push-to-talk' hotkey activated. [6:34] You: Daf, would you like to say something about your project now? [6:34] Daf Smirnov: can you write the URL to the webcast in the chat in skype, Moira? [6:34] Busy Link: we're in ventrilo Daf [6:35] Daf Smirnov: oh I see [6:35] Busy Link: you need to go to settings and activate the hotkey to speak [6:35] Johan Jaxa: i think you just do the idea.. take your students to it .. and see how it goes [6:35] Johan Jaxa: let them decide what they like [6:35] Busy Link: and hold it down each time you speak like Alado [6:35] Johan Jaxa: that is important... to let them work on it aswell [6:37] You: well, everyone, thanks for the comments [6:37] You: I'll keep you up to date with what happens [6:38] Johan Jaxa: thanks baldric [6:38] Johan Jaxa: myh first session in here..
