[7:48] Hermeneutic Melville: When I set draw distance to 64M (Pref -> Graphics) I had to logout and log back in to get video/sound working again. Just FYI
[7:48] Gary Hazlitt: 65 - what is the practical limit here?
[7:48] Larry Pixel: we are aobu tthere

[7:54] Beth Kavka: http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ah967qmsphwn_21g4384v
[7:54] Andrew Hughes: why is that we provide drug awareness in the schools, but not provide online communication awareness?

[7:57] Andrew Hughes: :)
[7:57] Chaser Brody: TY
[7:57] Mynci Gorky: hi katie and eric
[7:57] Chaser Brody: we also have 3 sims in SL :-)
[7:58] Mynci Gorky: hi gfc
[7:58] Andrew Hughes: Chaser - 3 sims as AI's? or three avatars?
[7:58] Chaser Brody: three islands being moved to tg as we speak LOL
[7:58] Andrew Hughes: oh... ok
[7:58] Andrew Hughes: :)
[7:58] Chaser Brody: built on man grid by volunteers
[7:59] Andrew Hughes: Cable - I wish Alan November could see this! he would love it!
[8:00] Shimaki Shikami: I can't see the stream well enough - are any RL participants on their laptops, as in also here in SL?
[8:01] Beth Kavka: yes
[8:02] Andrew Hughes: Online Collboration only is impactable when you have self motivated students working together... and to obtain those students you will need to keep them engaged.... Hopefully that is what SL can do for many of us.
[8:02] Hermeneutic Melville: student motivation is primary issue in education of any kind, right?
[8:02] Davee Commerce is Offline
[8:03] Hashi Figtree: yes but you can't rely on the technology for engagement, that comes down to good pedagogy
[8:03] Hermeneutic Melville: indeed
[8:03] Andrew Hughes: Agreed.... many students in the online environment mistake time convience with lack of engagement
[8:03] Suz Kiwi: It feels like schools are going to be left behind - that they are just moving outside to get things done. How can us old fogies stay connected and get into the game?
[8:03] Andrew Hughes: Listent to students...
[8:03] Hermeneutic Melville: think about how many classrooms have im/chats going on like what we're doing while they're talking in RL
[8:03] Jimmy Kidomen: did the audio die again?
[8:04] Andrew Hughes: they will tell you "what is cool" and what is in the interest of them... if you can apply what their interests are with your curriculum you can guide any classroom
[8:04] Hermeneutic Melville: audio ok for me
[8:04] In Kenzo: who is that speaking now?
[8:04] Fleep Tuque: still have audio ehere
[8:04] Hashi Figtree: and that is the constant challenge for educators, yes work with students to find how to enage them
[8:04] CDB Barkley: Cathy Davidson, Duke
[8:04] Andrew Hughes: Hashi - Agreed... :)
[8:04] Hashi Figtree: problem comes when we have to deliver system imposed content
[8:04] In Kenzo: thank you CDB
[8:04] Andrew Hughes: wow... that is true..
[8:05] Gary Hazlitt: 30%!
[8:05] Andrew Hughes: 30 % dropout rate!
[8:05] Andrew Hughes: OUCH!
[8:05] Hermeneutic Melville: 30% is conservative - depends on how you do the math
[8:05] Mydogsnameis Patton: Funny thing is, I was one of those 30% long ago, and now I am in education.
[8:05] Andrew Hughes: that breaks my heart to hear...
[8:05] Hermeneutic Melville: many urbans have 50%+ dropout from 9 to 12 if really track students closely
[8:05] In Kenzo: heavy.
[8:05] Andrew Hughes: wow.... that is heavy
[8:05] Gary Hazlitt: Hurrah

[8:07] Hashi Figtree: but they still must be able to work in a range of media, including text
[8:07] Larry Pixel: sorry did not catch it
[8:08] Bill Friis: Larry Grossman.
[8:08] Larry Pixel: ty
[8:08] Hashi Figtree: can't just make vidoes all the time
[8:08] Hermeneutic Melville: skills in non-fiction writing for students is a great predictor of long range success
[8:09] Hashi Figtree: what are you defining as success?
[8:09] In Kenzo: wow, i'd like research on that hermeneutic
[8:09] Hermeneutic Melville: a good researcher in this area is Doug Reeves at the center for performance assessment
[8:10] Larry Pixel is Offline
[8:10] Hermeneutic Melville: There 's a book called (if I recall) "90/90/90 schools"
[8:10] Rik Riel: hi all. I'm in New York at the event too.
[8:10] Hermeneutic Melville: You can find Doug and book on http://makingstandardswork.com
[8:10] Bill Friis: Hi Rik
[8:10] Larry Pixel is Online
[8:10] Multi Gadget v1.49.3 by Timeless Prototype
[8:10] Anya Ixchel: Hi Rik
[8:10] Hermeneutic Melville: Mike Schmoker is another researcher in this area
[8:10] Mobile Widget: Hi Rik
[8:11] Rik Riel: I'm watching my avatar watching the video feed of the event I'm at in the RW
[8:11] CDB Barkley: It will be interesting when the "kids" we are talking about are worrying about their kids, the generation that makes this one look like us
[8:11] In Kenzo: here here here!
[8:11] In Kenzo: come visit ManorMeta Mr. Jenkins ;-)
[8:11] Gary Hazlitt: Web 3.0 as well
[8:11] Gary Hazlitt: Web 3D
[8:12] Abdiel Merit: Jon Udell has been doing some interesting blogging on SL lately.
[8:12] Abdiel Merit: Anyone seen those?
[8:12] CDB Barkley: Yeah Anya!
[8:12] Andrew Hughes: Hey!
[8:12] Anya Ixchel: heh
[8:12] Lythe Witte: yeah anya!
[8:13] Lyr Lobo thanks you
[8:13] Mynci Gorky: hear hear!
[8:13] Gary Hazlitt: Go Aussies
[8:13] Anya Ixchel: 1:13am!
[8:13] Gary Hazlitt: 1.13 am!!!
[8:13] Lythe Witte: Tis 1.15am
[8:13] Fleep Tuque: hehe
[8:13] Lythe Witte: :)
[8:13] Anya Ixchel: hehe
[8:13] Mobile Widget: :)
[8:13] Pathfinder Linden: nice
[8:13] Anya Ixchel: thanks for asking my question
[8:13] Beth Kavka: you're up late
[8:13] Anya Ixchel: smiles
[8:13] Anya Ixchel: yeah
[8:13] In Kenzo: yay gary!
[8:13] Donnagh McDonnagh: 5:13 am in Hawaii
[8:13] Anya Ixchel: couldnt miss this
[8:13] Gary Hazlitt: nods off
[8:13] Hermeneutic Melville: that's easier than getting up for this at 7am in CA! : )
[8:14] Hermeneutic Melville: Hawaii - sympathy
[8:14] Anya Ixchel: yeah i think its easier to stay up late than get up early too Hem
[8:14] Chaser Brody: there ya go!
[8:14] Donnagh McDonnagh: HM ty!
[8:14] Chaser Brody: teacher training is sorely lacking in digital media and meaningful integration - teh best of teacher training schools are still trying to pass off the webquest as cutting edge technology!
[8:14] Anya Ixchel: not i my faculty :P
[8:14] Bill Friis: Too true.
[8:15] In Kenzo: When I was teaching we had to find everything and build it ourselves.
[8:15] Gary Hazlitt: Trouble is antiquated curriculum creation
[8:15] CDB Barkley: The notion of "training" needs adjusment-- it is passive learning
[8:15] Gary Hazlitt: no room for manouver
[8:15] Beth Kavka: taht sure right barkley
[8:15] Beth Kavka: training is for dogs
[8:15] CDB Barkley: :-)
[8:15] Gary Hazlitt: Nice picture!
[8:16] Scarlett Qi: Thanks Angela!
[8:16] Gary Hazlitt: Its all about freedowm within curriculum
[8:16] In Kenzo: nice idea!
[8:17] In Kenzo: media makers talking about decision making...
[8:17] Abdiel Merit: exemplar library--great idea
[8:17] Hermeneutic Melville: freedom is great when teachers have skills required to engage and motivate.
[8:17] Hermeneutic Melville: Not all teachers have these skills right now unfortunately
[8:17] Gary Hazlitt: Yes and free to learn
[8:17] Mynci Gorky: hear hear herm
[8:17] Hermeneutic Melville: and the skills are often missing in the neediest schools
[8:18] In Kenzo: true, but there are pockets of amazing teachers who push the envelope, especially here, that can use every tool we can give them and help share these tools.
[8:18] Hermeneutic Melville: of course - one size fits all never works
[8:19] Gary Hazlitt: In some edus a policy of studnets training the teachers should be considered
[8:19] Hermeneutic Melville: whether to the point of "strict curriculum" or "freedom to teach"
[8:19] Hermeneutic Melville: Good teachers get trained by their students all the time! Totally agree.
[8:19] Mynci Gorky: there's a research report which was recently published on this topic from a UK perspective called Unlimited Learning. If anyone would like the link, please let me know! There's a brief chapter on the global perspective too.
[8:19] In Kenzo: post here?
[8:19] Mynci Gorky: can do - didn't want to spam
[8:20] InnOvatar Sinclair: what is the link?
[8:20] Fleep Tuque: Please post!
[8:20] Donnagh McDonnagh: Is there any tool sharing library out there?
[8:20] Peter Sonnerstein: i would like the link
[8:20] Chaser Brody: yes
[8:20] Donnagh McDonnagh: So we don't have to reinvent the wheels?
[8:20] In Kenzo: i think of NMC as toolsharing library
[8:20] CDB Barkley: I'd like a round wheel
[8:20] Pathfinder Linden grew up in New Bedford...wow, small world
[8:20] In Kenzo: i lived there too!
[8:21] Mynci Gorky: ok... a sec...
[8:21] Mynci Gorky: pathfinder contributed to it ;)
[8:22] Anya Ixchel: In Australia kids are using 3D animation software to create their own machinima and also their own computer games, elementary school kids
[8:22] Hermeneutic Melville: good q
[8:22] Hermeneutic Melville: look at us all multi-tasking
[8:22] Walter Witte: in the US elementary kids are prepping for standardized tests
[8:23] Anya Ixchel: yeah, sad :)
[8:23] Gary Hazlitt: Multitasking hurts sometimes ;-)
[8:23] Mynci Gorky: http://www.elspa.com/assets/files/u/unlimitedlearningtheroleofcomputerandvideogamesint_344.pdf
[8:23] Donnagh McDonnagh: thx Mynci
[8:23] Pathfinder Linden: thanks Mynci!
[8:23] Hermeneutic Melville: Check out work in Norfolk VA public schools - they have radically improved test scores without doing "test prep" curriculum
[8:23] Corwin Carillon: click on the globe on the stage to go to the web Mynci posted
[8:23] Suz Kiwi: yes, getting people to really concentrate on one thing, and think deeply about it
[8:23] Scarlett Qi: Thanks Mynci!
[8:23] Mynci Gorky: :)
[8:23] Mynci Gorky: yw
[8:23] Beth Kavka: that sounds like me right now
[8:23] Hermeneutic Melville: heavy focus on non-fiction writing in Norfolk
[8:23] Abdiel Merit: I don't think that "inhabiting multiple worlds" is the same as multitasking.
[8:23] Gary Hazlitt: Reach them wherever they are or be damned?
[8:24] Anya Ixchel: i think mimi meant that they have these many windows open all simultaneously on the screen
[8:24] CDB Barkley: Is multitasking is a myth? It seems more like rapid attention shifting
[8:24] Hermeneutic Melville: listening to one conversation while talking about the same convo in a separate band counts as multi-taksing to me
[8:24] Hermeneutic Melville: *tasking
[8:24] Gary Hazlitt: Cross-devices and time
[8:24] Walter Witte: continuous partial attention
[8:25] Gary Hazlitt: not just one screen
[8:25] Anya Ixchel: YAY!
[8:25] Gary Hazlitt: is the reality
[8:25] Donnagh McDonnagh: go OZ
[8:25] Anya Ixchel: YEAH
[8:25] Larry Pixel: go Oz!!
[8:25] Anya Ixchel: grins
[8:25] Gary Hazlitt: Still awake here
[8:25] Lythe Witte: Ausies wohoo!
[8:25] Larry Pixel: wOOt
[8:25] CDB Barkley: Good on ya!
[8:25] Abdiel Merit: Rapid attention shifting is not the same as continuous partial attention, in my view.
[8:25] Lythe Witte: I'm high on cordial!
[8:25] Beth Kavka: how is it different?
[8:25] In Kenzo: i taught new media in libraries....one of my favorite jobs.
[8:25] Gary Hazlitt: Shiraz here
[8:25] Bill Friis: We can choose to multitask. We need to know if we should.
[8:25] Fleep Tuque: We are having a conversation here, listening to this presentaiton,a nd I for one am exploring linkspeople have posted all relatively simultaneously, is that nto multitasking?
[8:25] Maggie Marat: sorry - my alt was awake LOL
[8:25] NEXUS6 Leroux: hi
[8:25] Kisa Naumova is Online
[8:25] Fleep Tuque: (sorry for typos)
[8:25] Sorat Woodhen: wassup
[8:25] Walter Witte: i don't think so, either. but I think c.p.a. is what we're getting
[8:26] Donnagh McDonnagh: Abdiel, is there any literature on that conceptual distinction? Very interesting...
[8:26] NEXUS6 Leroux: hi Jill
[8:26] Abdiel Merit: No literature yet, no.
[8:26] Abdiel Merit: That I know of.
[8:26] Andrew Hughes: i have no sound!
[8:26] Larry Pixel: this chat is gettign pretty good! Love the backchannel!!
[8:26] Andrew Hughes: where did my sound good?
[8:26] CDB Barkley: I bet someone is googling
[8:26] Abdiel Merit: I think that rapid attention shifting is one way of thinking about "critical thinking"
[8:26] Fleep Tuque: still have sound here
[8:26] Larry Pixel: sound is working
[8:26] Andrew Hughes: someone is myspacing... we all know that...
[8:27] CDB Barkley: always
[8:27] Anya Ixchel: i dunno I have spent hours analysing video footage of kids existing simulatenously in 10 worlds at once, the rapid shifst from one to another are way beyond what i can cope with and are terribly difficult to even see from the video data
[8:27] Beth Kavka: I'm taking notes in a wiki and blogging
[8:27] Shimaki Shikami: Multiple chat clients on multiple machines.... that's me right now :)
[8:27] Pathfinder Linden: continuous partial attention...
[8:27] Andrew Hughes: has anyone had problems with sound?
[8:27] Bill Friis: This is a very interesting discussion about multitasking. What are the NY folks talking about.
[8:27] Beth Kavka: and screencapturing
[8:27] Corwin Carillon: no sound either so listening on the web and watching/reading here
[8:27] Anya Ixchel: giggles
[8:27] Hermeneutic Melville: sound ok for me
[8:27] Andrew Hughes: can I have link for web?
[8:27] Sorat Woodhen: let all go on stage and dance
[8:27] Walter Witte: :)
[8:27] Donnagh McDonnagh: Bill <-- lol!
[8:27] Beth Kavka: damn can't run camtasia, sl, and webcasting ..
[8:27] Abdiel Merit: but isn't rapid attention shifting one mode of sophisticated and responsive awareness?
[8:28] Gary Hazlitt: They would cut back to us if we danced
[8:28] Larry Pixel: http://mfile.akamai.com/1459/sdp/video.vdat.com/EncodedMedia/videonewswire/video/qt/QT_709.mov?obj=ver007;xtn=mov
[8:28] Abdiel Merit: I think the computers just make it visible
[8:28] Abdiel Merit: and offer new modes
[8:28] Abdiel Merit: but I could be wrong :)
[8:28] Walter Witte: i think you're right
[8:28] Andrew Hughes: larry - your a million bucks!
[8:28] Walter Witte: but you're describing the best case scenario
[8:28] Corwin Carillon: if you can see the globe at the front of the stage, click on it to goto the last link posted
[8:28] Larry Pixel: ahhhhh {blush}
[8:28] Anya Ixchel: i'd like to learn more Abdiel about what you are doing
[8:28] Hermeneutic Melville: Nothing wrong with it (imo) - just v. different than what goes on in many schools now
[8:28] Hermeneutic Melville: that's why they ban everything tech
[8:29] Beth Kavka: who is ywahing
[8:29] Abdiel Merit: I'm working on the idea of an integrated domain a la Doug Engelbart
[8:29] Hermeneutic Melville: more detail?
[8:29] Hermeneutic Melville: (Merit)
[8:29] Anya Ixchel: do you have a blog/site Abdiel?
[8:29] Larry Pixel: first rule...never give aaway the mic
[8:29] Anya Ixchel: laugh
[8:30] Beth Kavka: bla blah blah blah
[8:30] Fleep Tuque: Anyone catch who is speaking?
[8:30] Hermeneutic Melville: should have put it on a stand
[8:30] Hashi Figtree: how long is that tie?
[8:30] Abdiel Merit: I have a piece in the Sept./Oct. Change magazine that tries to get at it ... clumsily at times. :)
[8:30] Donnagh McDonnagh: lol
[8:30] Angela Ge has a questions..is there a stipped down version of sl.. which schools in asia can use for training, languages, etc? .. given bandwidth restrictions..?))
[8:30] Walter Witte: yikes
[8:30] Beth Kavka: someone from library
[8:30] Hermeneutic Melville: with the height real low so speaker has to stoop to speak
[8:30] Abdiel Merit: blog is http://www.gardnercampbell.net/blog1
[8:30] Hermeneutic Melville: that works well for short q's
[8:30] CDB Barkley: Is there a question lurking in there
[8:30] Anya Ixchel: thanks :)
[8:30] William Rimbaud: no one's let him make a point before..
[8:31] Hermeneutic Melville: and he's not going to start now
[8:31] William Rimbaud: lol
[8:31] Anya Ixchel: i hate speakers like this when i am the speaker and i am hanging out waiting for a question
[8:31] Lythe Witte: hehe
[8:31] Hashi Figtree: /lol
[8:31] Bill Friis: Hey, now. Be polite!
[8:31] Fleep Tuque: laugh

[8:32] Bill Friis: Surprise!
[8:32] Andrew Hughes: I feel like were passing notes in class
[8:32] William Rimbaud: don't think so: only when they put it up on the screen
[8:32] Hermeneutic Melville: probably at some point MacArthur will look at this..
[8:32] Donnagh McDonnagh: Now he is saying something interesting...
[8:32] Magda Voss: hopefully there's an achive of this sesion avail.
[8:32] Larry Pixel: is it not on the screen there

[8:36] Fleep Tuque: Agreed, interdiscpliary is key. Immersive engagement.
[8:36] In Kenzo: whole new worlds.....use visionary platforms for their best use!
[8:36] Hermeneutic Melville: State of Play acaedmy in There.com is a Uni college experiment
[8:36] Gary Hazlitt: Not duplications of school
[8:36] Hermeneutic Melville: Kevin Poulson from Wired taught a class there earlier this week
[8:37] CDB Barkley: Arf
[8:37] Lyr Lobo chuckles
[8:37] Donnagh McDonnagh: Where are the Furries?

[8:38] Anya Ixchel: Yay for James Gee!
[8:38] Angela Ge: future vision...top level domain-specific grids..like corporate, education, infotainment, etc. .. then have sub doimains within them.. and use txonomy and a tagging structure.. imo..
[8:39] Gary Hazlitt: Great point - who is this
[8:39] Mynci Gorky: eric zimmerman
[8:39] Hermeneutic Melville: domain-specific is hard - everything tends to bleed over lines in virtual worlds
[8:39] Mynci Gorky: gamelab
[8:39] Gary Hazlitt: Ta
[8:39] Mynci Gorky: yw
[8:40] Lythe Witte: Salen and Zimmerman: "Rules of Play"

[8:41] Hermeneutic Melville: Jim's on the right side!
[8:41] Hermeneutic Melville: Doing good work to change things in NYC BOE!
[8:41] Beth Kavka: she spoke at the games for change conference last june
[8:42] Lyr Lobo: by Katie Salen and Eric Zimmerman
[8:42] Lythe Witte: yeah, alot of people do use S&Z's book for teaching game-design
[8:42] Lyr Lobo grins and nods
[8:42] Abdiel Merit: Here's the Vygotsky:
[8:42] Suz Kiwi: ty
[8:42] Kevin Galbraith: Link to the Salen/Zimmerman book: http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=9802
[8:42] Abdiel Merit: "Play and the Psychological Development of the Child"
[8:42] Chaser Brody: that is SO true!
[8:43] Hermeneutic Melville: yes - tech gap for teachers is massive in urbans
[8:43] Abdiel Merit: It's in a collection that I'll I cite here in a second....
[8:44] Abdiel Merit: wow--this is crucial
[8:44] Suz Kiwi: I'd rather see ways to collaborate in ways other that police - checking grades, homework, etc.
[8:45] Abdiel Merit: one must find a way to use the technologies that is personally meaningful before bringing the tech into the classroom
[8:45] Usu Ventura: At least it's addressing the digital divide - a problem here
[8:45] Hermeneutic Melville: that's Jim's prob in NYC - how to get large scale change in tech usage by teachers without being seeing as "coming from the top"
[8:45] Abdiel Merit: I think that's exactly right
[8:47] Hermeneutic Melville: it exceeded my expectations too! : )
[8:48] Donnagh McDonnagh: Hear hear
[8:48] Chaser Brody: wonderful
[8:48] Abdiel Merit: Is this webcast going to be archived?
[8:48] Abdiel Merit: I came in late.
[8:48] Larry Pixel: Join us today at 4 PT, 7 ET fo a new live session just added to the symposium: The Unexpected Artist and Critic
[8:49] CDB Barkley: Not sure if they are archiving from MYC-- I've been grabbing the audio
[8:49] Abdiel Merit: Thanks a bunch, CDB. Can you podcast it?
[8:50] Abdiel Merit: Key point.
[8:50] Kevin Galbraith: Or leave it up here as an audio file to play?
[8:50] Abdiel Merit: My son is in a Star Wars guild with old and young from around the world.
[8:50] Li Xi: /It looks like the Webcast might be available at www.digitallearning.macfound.org
[8:50] Donnagh McDonnagh: Sounds like Second Life to me...

[8:52] Bill Friis: Broader message.
[8:53] Abdiel Merit: As I listen to these conclusions, I get an uncanny feeling that we may be at a pivotal moment, here together today. Hard to predict those things, but the scale here is pretty immense.
[8:54] Gary Hazlitt: Nice thought abdiel
[8:54] Bill Friis: Yes. This is history.
[8:54] Gary Hazlitt: Tipping points?
[8:54] Fleep Tuque: I agree, Abdiel.
