Here's an example of the automatic chat log that was emailed to me from Second Life by the tool 'Notetaker'


Although it's similar to part of the other chat log I posted, there are some differences (that's becuase I moved away to another part of the room and missed some of the conversation)


Obviously, a tool such as this also would have a value for recording conversations to monitor any activity in spaces in a possible teenage site, as well as automaticng the process of recording chat transcripts (otherwise you have to copy and paste them yourself)

SL Language Learning IceBreaker: Chris Eggplant: What kind of person would want to learn a language in SL?
SL Language Learning IceBreaker: susan Williams: What do you think of the potential for language learning in Second Life?
Baldric Commons: you load questions in beforehand and they come out in a random order

Webhead Link: ok, here's a question
Clare Foss: who wants to offer me a teleport? Vance? But I was here before
Webhead Link: how can I offer claire a teleport
Baldric Commons: I just offered clare a tp
Baldric Commons: you can do it by searching for her
Webhead Link: no, claire tamale needs a teleport
Baldric Commons: or by looking at her profile (from the friends list)
David Delling: Baldric: I need a hostname apparently...
Clare Foss: Is there another Clare trying to come to the room?
Webhead Link: we're typing at the keyboard
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
Babette Hanson: Baldric--how do you stretch?
Webhead Link: i figured out the teleport
Claire Tamale: coool!
Baldric Commons: there are animations you can play
Babette Hanson: Ooh Claire--nic outfit!

Dalgety Antfarm: So will you manage to come along to the Webheads meeting tomorrow? I've listened to a few of them before through Worldbridges' podcasts. A good bunch, not at all geeky!
Dalgety Antfarm: Seamill, near Largs. Famous hotel.
Dalgety Antfarm: Hydro?
Dalgety Antfarm: I'm a weegie myself!
Dalgety Antfarm: Glasgow, or Scotland?
Dalgety Antfarm: Plenty of FE and HE. Or do you fancy schools?
Dalgety Antfarm: Am I right in saying that in FE you are coming across more pupils who have not been taught in mainstream ie because of behaviour, problems at home, and having to make adjustments?
Dalgety Antfarm: There will always be plenty work of that sort in Scotland, then
Dalgety Antfarm: I'm going to have a wee look around the hut, and then find somewhere to rest for the evening
Dalgety Antfarm: New Talent - I haven't heard much about that lately
Dalgety Antfarm: Do you know about the guided tour of the island, aboard a magic seat, or whatever
Dalgety Antfarm: Yeah, New Talent, I remember Jack trailblazing it a while back
Dalgety Antfarm: If you go to the main building, you should find it. It gives you a bird's eye overview of each facility
