[8:55] Wonderalica Alturas: how's living in Seoul? [8:55] Fire Centaur: its great [8:55] Wonderalica Alturas: for more than 25 years [8:55] Fire Centaur: ive been here for 3.5 years [8:55] Wonderalica Alturas: do you get used to that kind of life [8:55] Fire Centaur: i mean in sl [8:55] Fire Centaur: um [8:55] Fire Centaur: well [8:55] Fire Centaur: Seoul is kinda like a vortex [8:55] You: ok, I'm ready everyone [8:55] Fire Centaur: lik secondlife [8:55] Fire Centaur: you get stuck here pretty fast [8:55] Fire Centaur: it has most things you need [8:55] Pedro Lustre: ok, i hear you, Baldric [8:55] You: I'll do this very quickly and then I'll explain how you do it [8:55] xPedro: ok, i to hear you, Baldric [8:55] Wonderalica Alturas: ok....nice...it's my first experience in slife [8:55] Wonderalica Alturas: tis.... [8:56] Fire Centaur: ok [8:56] Fire Centaur: Baldric [8:56] Wonderalica Alturas: we're all ears Baldric [8:56] Baldric Commons: Hello everyone and welcome... [8:56] Baldric Commons: Today, I'd like to present a proposal for a project... [8:56] Baldric Commons: ...for a self access centre for teenage EFL/ESL students... [8:56] Baldric Commons: ...in Second Life, on the teen grid. [8:56] Baldric Commons: The idea is to create an island... [8:56] Baldric Commons: ...where non-native English language learners... [8:57] Baldric Commons: ...can meet up and learn some English in a fun way. [8:57] Baldric Commons: It's still a very vague idea... [8:57] Baldric Commons: ...and I'd love to hear suggestions from people today... [8:57] Baldric Commons: ...about what could be done... [8:57] Baldric Commons: ...to make this project interesting... [8:57] Baldric Commons: ...and viable. [8:57] Baldric Commons: I presented this project to the British Council in Madrid on Saturday... [8:57] Baldric Commons: and the idea is to take the basic ideas to the next level, and develop... [8:57] Baldric Commons: ...a serious proposal, and then set it up and run it as a trial... [8:57] Baldric Commons: So, for those people here who don't know it, SL has two worlds... [8:57] Baldric Commons: the 'Adult Grid', where we are now, and the 'Teen Grid'. [8:57] Baldric Commons: Adults can't visit the teen grid, and teens can't visit the adult grid. [8:57] Baldric Commons: The only exception is when educators have a project on an island that is open... [8:57] Baldric Commons: ...to the teen grid residents. [8:57] Baldric Commons: For that to happen, you have to go through some kind of check... [8:58] Baldric Commons: ...and you arer clearly labelled as an adult (in some way). [8:58] Baldric Commons: The idea is to appeal to the 'digital natives', especially those students who... [8:58] Baldric Commons: ...are into gaming. [8:58] Baldric Commons: As more and more serious companies are establishing a presence in SL... [8:58] Baldric Commons: ...the idea of it being a platform that is here to stay... [8:58] Wonderalica Alturas: sorry, may i interrupt? [8:58] Baldric Commons: ...is increasing. And interest for projects such as this should be easier to gain. [8:58] You: of course, wonderalica [8:59] Wonderalica Alturas: i do not see the images clearly...could it be? i guess they match what you are talking about [8:59] You: please feel free to ask questions [8:59] You: yes, if that's the case - right click on the image when it changes and it should come into focus [9:00] You: you can also use 'alt' to zoom in on the slides [9:00] Wonderalica Alturas: right...perfect now... [9:00] You: great [9:00] Fire Centaur: oh [9:00] Fire Centaur: Wonderlica [9:00] Fire Centaur: it sometimes works better [9:00] Wonderalica Alturas: yes... Fire.. [9:00] Fire Centaur: if you use "mouselook" [9:00] Wonderalica Alturas: it's better now... [9:00] Fire Centaur: things will download quicker on the things you focus on [9:00] You: yes, that's a good idea Fire Centaur [9:00] Baldric Commons: There are already many educational projects underway, both... [9:01] Baldric Commons: ...here in the adult grid, and in the teen grid. [9:01] Baldric Commons: Here are some of them. There are many more than shown here, of course. [9:01] Fire Centaur: (use your mouse wheel to zoom into mouse look) [9:01] Baldric Commons: What are the benfits of an educatiuonal organisation to having a project in SL? [9:01] Baldric Commons: Well, apart from the appeal to teenage learners, there are also other factors. [9:01] Baldric Commons: The initial ideas for an island project involve establishing areas... [9:01] Baldric Commons: ...set up according to CEF levels, so that learners of the same level can find... [9:02] Baldric Commons: ...self-access resources apllicable to them, and also... [9:02] Baldric Commons: ...can chat to others who have the same level of English. [9:02] Baldric Commons: I also think it would be a great idea to try and set up a mentor programme... [9:02] Baldric Commons: to persuade teens to help out and teach those who are new to SL... [9:02] Baldric Commons: ...how best to use it - something which will be particularly challenging... [9:02] Baldric Commons: ...to those whose first language is not English. [9:02] Baldric Commons: I still haven't worked out what the incentives might be to these mentors, but... [9:02] Baldric Commons: ...I think potentially it could work. [9:02] Baldric Commons: So, that is about it at the moment. As you can see, it's still very much... [9:02] Baldric Commons: ...only an idea. There are many ways you could go... [9:03] Baldric Commons: I'd appreciate any ideas that people may have. [9:03] Baldric Commons: The floor is now yours...Thankyou for listening. [9:03] Fire Centaur: i have a few ideas [9:03] Wonderalica Alturas: tks baldric [9:03] Fire Centaur: thanks baldric [9:03] Pedro Lustre: tks [9:03] xPedro: tks [9:03] You: I'd love to hear them, Fire Centaur [9:03] Wonderalica Alturas: how can you go to those links? [9:03] Fire Centaur: if I may, [9:04] You: they aren't clickable I'm afraid, wonderalica [9:04] Fire Centaur: can I give a quick introduction, so you know where I am coming from? [9:04] Fire Centaur: but [9:04] You: please do [9:04] Fire Centaur: wonderlica [9:04] Fire Centaur: you can go to "file" [9:04] Fire Centaur: and click snapshot to disk [9:04] Wonderalica Alturas: yes...tks... [9:04] Fire Centaur: and take a picture of them [9:04] Fire Centaur: and print [9:04] Pedro Lustre: there is agood idea Baldric [9:04] xPedro: there is agood Baldric idea [9:04] Pedro Lustre: One technical question [9:04] xPedro: Technical One question [9:05] You: yes? [9:05] Pedro Lustre: the file fomrmato of this presentation is a ppt [9:05] xPedro: the cases out fomrmato of this presentation is to ppt [9:05] Wonderalica Alturas: sorry, Fire Centaur had the floor, Pedro... [9:05] Fire Centaur: thanks [9:05] Fire Centaur: ill be brief :) [9:05] You: no, to give a presentation like this you have to upload a jpg for each image [9:05] Fire Centaur: I am an esl teacher here in asia [9:05] Fire Centaur: i teach at an elementary school [9:05] Fire Centaur: i am a comp sci grad [9:06] Fire Centaur: so i have tech background [9:06] Fire Centaur: anyhow [9:06] Fire Centaur: i teach children [9:06] Pickle Radio is Online [9:06] Fire Centaur: and adults [9:06] Wonderalica Alturas: great... [9:06] You: wonderful [9:06] Fire Centaur: Korea has a HUGE market [9:06] Fire Centaur: for the target group you specified [9:06] You: yes [9:06] Fire Centaur: cuz [9:06] Fire Centaur: korea as mega bandwidth [9:06] You: you're completely right [9:06] Fire Centaur: and pC rooms littered across every city [9:06] Fire Centaur: i live in seol [9:06] Fire Centaur: so I know [9:06] Fire Centaur: i recognize that games and english [9:07] You: this project would be open to any teenager 13-17 [9:07] Fire Centaur: are a perfect mariage [9:07] Fire Centaur: cuz [9:07] Fire Centaur: kids love games [9:07] Wonderalica Alturas: indeed [9:07] Fire Centaur: parents love english [9:07] Fire Centaur: now the two can meet an agreement [9:07] Fire Centaur: parents let kids play the games - whcih is english! [9:07] Wonderalica Alturas: perfect match.. [9:07] Fire Centaur: anyhow, i am highly intersted [9:07] Fire Centaur: in working with you [9:07] You: yes, I totally agree - it's potentially a great way of learning English [9:07] Fire Centaur: as your consult in asia [9:08] Fire Centaur: but [9:08] You: sounds very interesting Fire Centaur [9:08] Fire Centaur: youll have to consentrate on midle school kids [9:08] Fire Centaur: cuz elementary 1-6 [9:08] Fire Centaur: are too young for the teen grid [9:08] Fire Centaur: so its middle school and up [9:08] You: yes, that's true [9:08] Fire Centaur: ive poised the ide [9:08] Fire Centaur: idea [9:08] Fire Centaur: to many koreans now [9:08] Fire Centaur: of useing Sl [9:08] Fire Centaur: and the first thing they usually say [9:08] Fire Centaur: is: [9:08] Fire Centaur: we want voice [9:09] Fire Centaur: but [9:09] You: yes, a very good point [9:09] Wonderalica Alturas: there is [9:09] Fire Centaur: typing prep work [9:09] Fire Centaur: i think [9:09] Fire Centaur: for 15 minuts [9:09] Fire Centaur: and then voice [9:09] Fire Centaur: would work well [9:09] Wonderalica Alturas: there is a programe.. [9:09] Wonderalica Alturas: ventrilo, if i am not mistaken [9:09] You: yes, there are several ways of getting voice in here [9:09] You: vivox is another one [9:09] Wonderalica Alturas: right... [9:09] You: and then using a voip client like skype is also viable [9:10] You: skypecast if you monitor it [9:10] Fire Centaur: i heard skype was a bandwidth hog [9:10] Wonderalica Alturas: fantastic....can also skype it used? [9:10] You: yes, that's why vivox and ventrilo are preferable [9:10] Wonderalica Alturas: but has the limit of nr. of people to participate [9:10] You: but, skype is becoming a standard, and it is possible to use [9:10] Wonderalica Alturas: right... [9:10] Fire Centaur: my big question though is.... [9:11] Fire Centaur: i think a guided curriculem [9:11] Fire Centaur: is best [9:11] You: 5 people I think, but with a skypecast you can have up to 100 [9:11] Fire Centaur: the question is- what kind of activities would work [9:11] You: good question Fire centaur [9:11] You: I gave this presentation over a week ago now [9:11] You: and things have moved on [9:11] Fire Centaur: (i read the transcript online) [9:11] You: it looks like it's going to go ahead [9:12] Fire Centaur: nice [9:12] Wonderalica Alturas: i did not..where is it [9:12] Fire Centaur: who is funding it? [9:12] Wonderalica Alturas: it will certainly... [9:12] You: we have a small island confirmed and 2 of us have until march to show that it could work [9:12] You: http://webheadsinaction.org [9:12] Wonderalica Alturas: tks [9:12] You: the British Council will fund it [9:12] Fire Centaur: wow, well if you need help, ill definately be in, as long as we could work something out so I coulkd bring my asian students it! [9:13] You: as part of a new drive to engage teenagers all over the world [9:13] You: that sounds great [9:13] Wonderalica Alturas: me too but for adults on my side... [9:13] Wonderalica Alturas: SL is a huge educational project. [9:13] Pedro Lustre: one question [9:13] xPedro: one question [9:13] You: our idea is to set up self-access learning activities that are fun [9:13] Fire Centaur: wonderlica - ill be able to work with you there - cuz ill be teaching Adults too - in this grid [9:13] You: yes, pedro? [9:14] Pedro Lustre: which band needs a school to enter in sl for 15 boys, for expmaple [9:14] xPedro: which band needs to school to to enter in sl for 15 boys, for expmaple [9:15] Pedro Lustre: we have 3 mb [9:15] xPedro: we have 3 mb [9:15] You: I don't know I'm afraid [9:15] You: we can't use sl in the places where I work [9:15] You: that's why this would have to be a self-access project [9:16] Pedro Lustre: and i'm using 600k at home [9:16] xPedro: and i 'm using 600k AT home [9:16] xPedro: Pedro welcome to Babbler. Have fun! [9:16] xPedro: Babbler Ready. [9:16] Babbler: Pedro: Pedro welcome to Babbler. Have fun! [9:16] Babbler: Pedro: Babbler Ready. [9:16] You: the idea is something extra for them to motivate them to study English from home [9:16] Wonderalica Alturas: with individuals you mean? [9:16] You: yes, although I'd try to get students in a class to do it [9:16] Fire Centaur: will you be having scheduled classes? [9:16] Wonderalica Alturas: good questions [9:16] Fire Centaur: or is it a wonder-arund- type english class [9:16] You: and do pre and post sl stuff in the classroom [9:17] You: yes, that's right Fire [9:17] Fire Centaur: its a wonder-around? [9:17] You: I think, for example setting up 'treasure hunt' activites would work [9:17] Fire Centaur: i had a good idea today [9:17] You: you can make the clues visual, audio, text [9:18] You: and work out an objective and a theme [9:18] Fire Centaur: ok [9:18] Fire Centaur: continue [9:18] You: what was that, fire? [9:18] You: for eaxmple, a mystery [9:18] Fire Centaur: hmm [9:18] Fire Centaur: ok [9:18] Fire Centaur: like a murder mystery [9:18] Fire Centaur: or something [9:18] Fire Centaur: and you find clues [9:18] You: that's it [9:18] Fire Centaur: nice [9:18] Pedro Lustre: it's possible enchance you tube videos at sl displays? [9:19] You: a bit like some of the 3d games that already are on the market [9:19] Fire Centaur: -aparently you need quicktime media server [9:19] Wonderalica Alturas: or the ones that depending on your reaction you have a different result [9:19] Fire Centaur: today - I went to sinners paradise [9:19] Fire Centaur: a really intersting sim [9:19] Fire Centaur: really beautifully textured [9:19] Wonderalica Alturas: where is it? [9:19] You: but with added value that you can get people to come and chat together too [9:19] Fire Centaur: and at the bottom [9:19] Fire Centaur: was a skating rink [9:19] Fire Centaur: my girlfriend came online [9:20] Fire Centaur: and doesnt really know how to use computesr [9:20] Fire Centaur: so [9:20] Fire Centaur: I guided her through buying the skates [9:20] Fire Centaur: puting them on [9:20] Fire Centaur: and then skating around the rink [9:20] Fire Centaur: (all over the phone) [9:20] Fire Centaur: now - her english is really poor [9:20] You: this is the ideal situation Fire Centaur [9:20] Fire Centaur: so, after shouting RIGHT CLICK STUPID [9:20] Fire Centaur: several times [9:20] Fire Centaur: she finally figured it out... [9:20] Fire Centaur: but anyhow [9:20] You: if we can persuade other english speaking teens to be mentors [9:20] Pickle Radio is Offline [9:20] Fire Centaur: it would be cool [9:21] You: you can populate the island and have helpers all the time [9:21] Fire Centaur: to act as guides [9:21] Wonderalica Alturas: you definetly need them [9:21] You: exactly [9:21] Fire Centaur: take them on a tour of intersting places in sl [9:21] Wonderalica Alturas: which could be the attraction to become mentors to them? [9:21] You: it'd be a bit like setting up SL 3D penfriends [9:22] Fire Centaur: so [9:22] Fire Centaur: if you had mentors [9:22] You: that is something that hads to be worked out, Wonderalica [9:22] Fire Centaur: there would probably have to be a rigerous mentor training program [9:22] You: yes, true [9:22] Wonderalica Alturas: i guess.... [9:22] You: and guidelines [9:22] Fire Centaur: id ask the british council for a budget [9:22] Fire Centaur: for cash for them [9:22] Fire Centaur: OR [9:22] You: the good thing is that with chat recorders, behaviour can be monitored [9:22] Fire Centaur: in terms of incentives [9:22] You: yes, something like that [9:23] Wonderalica Alturas: do you have direct contact with the British Council? [9:23] Fire Centaur: you could get super cool vehicles made for you [9:23] You: At the beginning though, we will have until march to run this as a limited trial [9:23] Fire Centaur: and rent them out for a month to avatars that helped you [9:23] Fire Centaur: or give them raffle tickets [9:23] Wonderalica Alturas: that's nice.....attractive to make a difference for mentors [9:23] Fire Centaur: for large linden dollars [9:23] You: then, I'm hoping if we can prove it is successful, we can get a much bigger budget [9:23] You: and introduce all sorts of other special areas, etc [9:24] Fire Centaur: or just offer a certificate [9:24] Fire Centaur: that gets mailed to them [9:24] Fire Centaur: by the british coucil [9:24] Wonderalica Alturas: yes...will have to [9:24] Fire Centaur: - that would help their resume's [9:24] Wonderalica Alturas: but how long will this project take? [9:24] Wonderalica Alturas: will it have levels? [9:24] You: to begin with, it'll just be 2 of us teachers and a test group of students - whoever we can interest to come and try out things [9:24] Wonderalica Alturas: focused on? [9:24] You: I think the island will have levels - but anyone can go to any part [9:25] Fire Centaur: whats your budget? [9:25] You: I want to show that we can interest a group of teenagers with self access activities in SL [9:25] You: negotiated at the moment [9:25] Fire Centaur: by "self-access" do you mean, self guided? [9:26] You: we will have to cost everything in the next month or so and ask for the money [9:26] Wonderalica Alturas: but you must present the finished project to get the budget [9:26] You: they are just starting the island buying process [9:26] IM: JAVIER Granada: tp [9:26] You: no, I think an outline is sufficient [9:26] IM: JAVIER Granada: porfa [9:26] IM: Second Life: JAVIER Granada has left this session. [9:26] Fire Centaur: nice [9:26] Wonderalica Alturas: ok [9:26] Fire Centaur: well [9:26] You: they appreciate that what we are doing is experimenting with what can be done [9:27] You: and we will be learning as we go [9:27] You: making mistakes, etc [9:27] Wonderalica Alturas: indeed.... [9:27] Fire Centaur: I have another idea for you if you are interested.. [9:27] Wonderalica Alturas: and will it have a fee? [9:27] You: I'm, always open to idea, Fire [9:27] You: no fee, it will be free [9:27] Wonderalica Alturas: fantastic. [9:27] Fire Centaur: I am actually want to work together with soemone on this [9:27] Fire Centaur: have you seen the ThinC books? [9:28] Redaktisto Noble is Offline [9:28] You: and to anyone, not just British Council students [9:28] Wonderalica Alturas: i have not [9:28] Fire Centaur: here [9:28] Fire Centaur: I have one [9:28] Fire Centaur: hold on [9:28] Wonderalica Alturas: perfect Baldric... [9:28] You: yes, I have been playing with the THINC Books [9:28] You: they are great [9:28] Wonderalica Alturas: no idea... [9:28] Fire Centaur: i cant [9:28] Fire Centaur: i dont have access [9:28] Fire Centaur: anyhow [9:28] Fire Centaur: its basically [9:28] Fire Centaur: an animated book [9:28] Wonderalica Alturas: yes... [9:28] Fire Centaur: that you can drop images into [9:28] Fire Centaur: to populate the pages [9:28] You: I can give you al an example [9:29] Fire Centaur: it makes bookmaking really easy [9:29] Wonderalica Alturas: tks... [9:29] Fire Centaur: and they can be attached to a hud [9:29] Fire Centaur: anyhow [9:29] Fire Centaur: they are perfect [9:29] Fire Centaur: for a school [9:29] Fire Centaur: BUT [9:29] IM: Second Life: Tony Kembla has left this session. [9:29] Wonderalica Alturas accepted your inventory offer. [9:29] Fire Centaur: they would be even MORE perfect [9:29] Fire Centaur: for language study IF.... [9:29] Fire Centaur: you could attach sounds to each page too [9:29] Fire Centaur: picture this: [9:29] Wonderalica Alturas: can it suit all ages? [9:29] Fire Centaur: each week [9:29] Pedro Lustre accepted your inventory offer. [9:29] Fire Centaur: you hand out a new "flash card book" [9:29] Fire Centaur accepted your inventory offer. [9:30] You: aha - I didn't know that [9:30] Fire Centaur: aand when each page is turend [9:30] You: I know you can include sounds [9:30] Fire Centaur: a proper pronunciation is said [9:30] Fire Centaur: .... very nice [9:30] Fire Centaur: then [9:30] Fire Centaur: the kids could attach this to their hud [9:30] Fire Centaur: the top right of their screen [9:30] Wonderalica Alturas: looks attractive... [9:30] Fire Centaur: and as they travel through the world [9:30] Fire Centaur: they could flip through their book [9:30] Fire Centaur: i already contacted the develper of the thinc book [9:31] Fire Centaur: and he said it WOULD be possible [9:31] Wonderalica Alturas: great! [9:31] You: great idea, fire centaur [9:31] Fire Centaur: only problem is [9:31] Fire Centaur: he has no time [9:31] Fire Centaur: so... [9:31] Fire Centaur: im gonna get scripter to make it for me [9:31] Wonderalica Alturas: so? [9:31] You: excellent [9:31] Fire Centaur: next week [9:31] Fire Centaur: ill be receiving my island [9:31] Fire Centaur: I put in an order last week [9:32] Fire Centaur: ill be using it to teach in this grid [9:32] Fire Centaur: (another teacher friend of mine is forking up half of the money) [9:32] Fire Centaur: if you would like to work with me [9:32] You: this is excellent news [9:32] Fire Centaur: (everyone) too [9:32] Fire Centaur: we can share ideas [9:32] Wonderalica Alturas: me too ,if i can help.... [9:32] You: I would - [9:32] Fire Centaur: Nice [9:32] Fire Centaur: i think what we need [9:33] Pedro Lustre: me too, but i'm teacher of history [9:33] Fire Centaur: is "Teaching Tools" [9:33] Fire Centaur: things that can be used in SL [9:33] Fire Centaur: real objects [9:33] Fire Centaur: like - the book [9:33] Fire Centaur: the whiteboard [9:33] Fire Centaur: different games [9:33] Fire Centaur: the treasure hunt [9:33] Fire Centaur: things like that [9:33] Fire Centaur: but [9:33] You: Fire Centaur, I am co-moderating an online session in Jnuary on 'Gaming and Language LEarning' [9:33] Fire Centaur: what we need to do [9:33] You: would you like to give a presentation? [9:33] Fire Centaur: is build them all in one accessible place [9:33] Fire Centaur: - really [9:33] Fire Centaur: ?
