17:36
Matthew: hi |
|
17:37
Megan: hi |
|
17:37
Matthew: how are you |
|
17:37
Megan: good how are you? |
|
17:37
Matthew: good thanks |
|
17:38
Matthew: I look forward to getting everything hammered out |
|
17:38
Megan: I noticed what Pam said in the wiki regarding the building. I've
started a layout on our site. I am thinking that I could get the structure up
tonight and then we could work together on the content for inside of it. |
|
17:39
Matthew: what can i do to help with the structure |
|
17:39
Megan: I think we are going to be on top of each other with the structure
itself but you could help me out greatly with rooftops and whatnot |
|
17:39
Matthew: I have not noticed what pam said in the wiki. I think we spread our
conversation among too many different outlets |
|
17:40
Megan: i sent out an email today for everyone to check out the wiki because i
had added a bunch of stuff about the building itself. Pam made some comments |
|
17:41
Megan: I've compiled all of the forms of communication on the wiki, emails
and all |
|
17:41
Matthew: oh ok |
|
17:41
Matthew: ive tried to |
|
17:41
Matthew: butI am unsure if I have it all |
|
17:42
Megan: I went back and made sure I had everything. I sorted it by day and
then by time and did individual links to everything by day. |
|
17:42
Megan: while we wait why don't you check out the wiki and tell me what you
think about the communications part of it. |
|
17:43
Matthew: yeah thats a good idea |
|
17:48
Matthew: I like the open air mall with a courtyard |
|
17:50
Trish: has anyone ther than Megan been here yet? |
|
17:50
Matthew: not as long as I have been here |
|
17:50:
Megan Pule has just entered this chat |
|
17:51
Trish: How's the baby, Megan? |
|
17:51
Megan: wow, I don't know what happened but nothing I was typing was showing
up. |
|
17:51
Megan: doing well. |
|
17:51
Trish: I don't know how you |
|
17:51
Megan: Matt, I'm working currently on a cross between the two. A structure
with no walls but still multiple floors |
|
17:51
Trish: I don't know how you're doing it, but wow. |
|
17:52
Megan: I'll be honest... I have to do pretty muchly everything still for the
other class that I am taking. |
|
17:52
Trish: There was a great welcome center in SL Oahu. |
|
17:52
Matthew: alrighty ill take a look at it in a few |
|
17:52
Trish: It was an open air structure with all kinds of infor, then paths
leading out to other places. |
|
17:53
Matthew: whats the link to the Oahu one |
|
17:53
Megan: The floors aren't up just yet. I'm working on the layout, first level
right now |
|
17:53
Trish: You're diagram looks great. |
|
17:53
Megan: thanks |
|
17:53
Trish: *your |
|
17:53
Megan: welcome Patrick |
|
17:53
Matthew: hi par |
|
17:53
Patrick: thanks - how much snow are you looking at? |
|
17:53
Matthew: *Pat |
|
17:53
Trish: oh that's right. CO was getting nailed. |
|
17:54
Megan: haha, none! |
|
17:54
Megan: I live so far north that all that we have gotten is rain. |
|
17:54
Trish: excellent. |
|
17:54
Trish: Is anyone else experiencing a lag? |
|
17:54
Megan: But all of the roads just north of us, leading into Wyoming are
closed. I live at the last highway exit with anything there. |
|
17:55
Pam: I think a little lag is normal in here... |
|
17:55
Matthew: i dont notice a lag |
|
17:55
Megan: a little bit, but that is normal |
|
17:55
Pam: HAH Maybe you have a faster computer! |
|
17:55
Trish: That's what I thought, but wanted to be sure it wasn't me. |
|
17:55
Megan: Welcome Pam |
|
17:55
Pam: Hey! |
|
17:55 Megan:
So we are all here, because Brian isn't coming right? |
|
17:55
Pam: Right |
|
17:55
Megan: Excellent |
|
17:55
Matthew: hi Pam |
|
17:55
Megan: Did everyone get a chance to look at the wiki? |
|
17:56
Pam: I did |
|
17:56
Megan: Pam made some comments and I started on a compromise |
|
17:56
Trish: y |
|
17:56
Pam: I missed the compromise1 |
|
17:56
Megan: I kept with my layout, but am making it more open. No walls. |
|
17:56
Trish: I added thoughts about one more section about the educational
possibilities of VEs. |
|
17:56
Megan: But still multiple levels, similar to an outdoor mall. |
|
17:56
Pam: So do you still want four floors? |
|
17:57
Trish: well, not a section, but a couple sentences. |
|
17:57
Megan: Three floors, and gardens for reflection, explanation and trials |
|
17:57
Trish: very creative. |
|
17:57
Megan: as well as courtyard areas |
|
17:57
Pam: My concern is whether we have enough content for all those areas. |
|
17:57 Matthew:
i would think its easier to go up as long as its descirbed somewhere near an
entrance |
|
17:57
Patrick: but nobody will ever actually 'use' our welcome center? |
|
17:58
Megan: I've started a basic layout and could finish the general design
tonight |
|
17:58
Trish: I thought other classes would be using the same environment. |
|
17:58 Matthew:
i thought they were going to iuse these |
|
17:58
Megan: Patrick does bring up a good point. I'm not sure that Tony intends to
keep these projects up for future students. Does he? |
|
17:58
Patrick: maybe - but we have to submit a film |
|
17:58
Pam: I think ours will be used |
|
17:58
Pam: He said it would be a good resource. |
|
17:58
Megan: He may keep ours then |
|
17:59
Patrick: do we need to use scripts that will clean up the garbage when people
log off? |
|
17:59
Megan: Pam did you say that you had tried coding for teleporting people |
|
17:59
Matthew: the film is just to prove we all worked |
|
17:59
Patrick: if we add a testing area? |
|
17:59
Pam: No I said the one I used didn't work well - it was someone else |
|
17:59
Patrick: I have a teleport script that doesn't work well either - but I
wanted to teleport to the group area from the homes and |
|
18:00
Megan: I'm thinking that a moving slab could be a great way to get people up
and down to the different levels |
|
18:00
Pam: what would people do that we need to clean up? |
|
18:00
Patrick: they are in different regions - so the coordinates don't match |
|
18:00
Matthew: like an elavator instead of steps |
|
18:00
Patrick: If people are testing or creating -- they could leave some stuff
behind |
|
18:00
Megan: We could do a movement script that says when a person is present move
up x units, depending on the floor that they are going to |
|
18:00
Pam: Patrick, I don't understand where you want to teleport to and from |
|
18:01
Trish: We Could put up a billboard asking them to delete their garbage with
instructions? |
|
18:01
Patrick: I wanted to teleport from my neighborhood to the group area |
|
18:01
Patrick: using a script |
|
18:01
Pam: I like the billboard or sign idea |
|
18:01
Pam: just ask them to clean up - put it in their inventory or delete it |
|
18:01
Patrick: like the "please curb your dog sign" |
|
18:01
Pam: yeah |
|
18:01
Megan: yeah |
|
18:02
Matthew: much easier |
|
18:02
Trish: We would phrase it very nicely |
|
18:02
Pam: I'm concerned that we might have so much to build and create that people
won't have time to create good content |
|
18:02
Patrick: "Your mom doesn't work here -- clean up after yourself" |
|
18:02
Pam: that's my concern about so many floors to fill up |
|
18:02
Megan: I can get the buildings up tonight |
|
18:03 Matthew:
megan i can help tonight as well |
|
18:03
Pam: We would need everyone to create content for two or three floors each |
|
18:03
Megan: I've been walking around on the land and it won't take much to fill up
the areas |
|
18:03
Patrick: There are 6 of us -- are we going to each choose different "shops"
and add the content? |
|
18:03
Trish: Hha. I was thinking more along the lines of Please practice building.
When you are finish, here's how to add your object to your inventory. Then
how to delete. |
|
18:03
Pam: we already have the sections |
|
18:03
Megan: Really, once I lay out the base, it is just copying upward. It won't
take me beyond 2 hours to be done. |
|
18:04
Patrick: if so, do we need to agree on a common layout? |
|
18:04
Pam: we have three floors and a roof for four areas |
|
18:04
Pam: plus the welcome area |
|
18:04
Trish: If Megan builds the strucure, the rest of us should work on the
content. |
|
18:04
Megan: 3 areas really with combining building and scripting |
|
18:04
Pam: Do you mean objects or content to put into the objects |
|
18:05
Matthew: content i would think |
|
18:05
Pam: Building and scripting is a big topic and takes probably double work |
|
18:05
Trish: Do you have any thoughts on adding a research corner type addition
with the educational rationale? |
|
18:05
Pam: plus we have the welcome area |
|
18:05
Pam: plus a sand box and trish had a good idea about a why area too |
|
18:05
Matthew: educational rational to using SL? |
|
18:05
Megan: Ok, how about this... |
|
18:06
Trish: On the flip side, are we being over-ambitious? |
|
18:06
Trish: yes, Matthew. |
|
18:06 Megan:
I will have the structure up tonight. |
|
18:06
Pam: I would rather concentrate on good content then lots of objects |
|
18:06
Megan: As I list an area we can say how many and who will work on it. |
|
18:06 Matthew:
i dont think tat is our purpose Trish |
|
18:06
Trish: ok, I can see that. |
|
18:06
Pam: K Megan go for it |
|
18:06
Megan: cool... |
|
18:07
Megan: Your Avatar |
|
18:07 Megan:
Changing Gender and Gestures could be done by one person. I don't think that
that is too much |
|
18:07
Patrick: I give it a go |
|
18:07
Trish: agreed. |
|
18:07
Megan: Really the entire Your Avatar section could be done by one person |
|
18:07
Patrick: I am still game |
|
18:07
Megan: Patrick you want to work on that one? |
|
18:08
Megan: I can help out with having both female and male outfits, working with
Patrick on that one. |
|
18:08
Megan: Is that cool? |
|
18:08
Patrick: OK - but I might ask ?? about gestures towards the end |
|
18:08
Matthew: good |
|
18:08
Pam: wait a sec |
|
18:08
Megan: cool |
|
18:08
Pam: I thought we should show people how to change their hair and body |
|
18:08
Megan: Building/Scripting: |
|
18:08
Pam: and how to change clothes |
|
18:08
Patrick: got it |
|
18:09
Megan: cool cool |
|
18:09
Pam: k |
|
18:09
Trish: yes, Pam. WE definitely need that. |
|
18:09
Pam: Some of us =] |
|
18:09
Megan: My thought was to have a floor for furniture and sitting properly.
This will likely take one person. |
|
18:09
Matthew: I could talk about building but would need some help with scripting |
|
18:09
Pam: Explain the furniture |
|
18:10
Megan: So Matt you want to take that one? |
|
18:10
Megan: We can all help with scripting in the end. |
|
18:10
Pam: are we going to explain how to build something |
|
18:10
Megan: I was thinking about some furtniture for seating and tables |
|
18:10
Pam: to teach them how to build it? |
|
18:10
Matthew: I will explain how to build something |
|
18:10
Megan: yes, there should be notecards on every floor that explain everything
that we do. that is pretty minor though. |
|
18:10
Trish: How to build the furniture or furnishing our center? |
|
18:10
Patrick: -- are we making posters, cards, videos .... how are we pulling this
off? |
|
18:11
Megan: how to built it |
|
18:11
Pam: We need to make sure we show them how to do things |
|
18:11
Patrick: Like flash cards? |
|
18:11
Megan: hang on. let's get through assignments and then brainstorm the
explanations |
|
18:11
Patrick: OK |
|
18:11
Pam: k |
|
18:11 Matthew:
megan i agree |
|
18:12
Megan: The other part of that floor would include bedroom furtniture with
drawers that open and the ability to sleep on a bed. |
|
18:12 Megan:
Still cool matt? |
|
18:12
Matthew: yea |
|
18:12
Megan: Cool. |
|
18:12
Patrick: doors, too? |
|
18:13
Megan: The second floor I was seeing as an electronics store. |
|
18:13
Pam: to teach what skills |
|
18:13
Megan: Doors could work on some objects as well. |
|
18:13
Megan: The electronics floor would have prims with links to web pages and
what not. |
|
18:13
Trish: that I can do. |
|
18:13
Megan: This floor could also have music and movies. |
|
18:14
Trish: I was just going to ask if this is for music and vids as well. |
|
18:14
Trish: I can still do that. |
|
18:14
Megan: awesome. Tony was talking about how to do a radio channel, I think
with you and me. He has info on that. |
|
18:15
Trish: I will look in to that. |
|
18:15
Trish: Sounds a little intimidating, but what hasn't been in this class! |
|
18:15
Trish: for me anyway. |
|
18:15
Pam: for me too! |
|
18:16
Pam: Tony says he isn't doing his job if we aren't being pushed to do new
things |
|
18:16
Megan: Cool, the third floor is kind of an easy one and can be linked up with
something else. It is importing textures and giving objects. |
|
18:16
Pam: Putting textures on objects |
|
18:16
Pam: ? |
|
18:16 Matthew:
i thought that was part of building so i can do that |
|
18:16
Megan: yeah |
|
18:16
Pam: This would include info on how to do it |
|
18:16
Megan: cool. So Matt will take the first and third floor of the building. |
|
18:16
Megan: Yes |
|
18:17 Megan:
Alright, so Pam you are the one person left correct? |
|
18:17
Patrick: Brian |
|
18:17
Matthew: and Brian to right |
|
18:17
Pam: I don't have a job yet |
|
18:17
Megan: and Brian. Thank you |
|
18:17
Pam: we still have lots of floors |
|
18:17
Megan: Ok, so the last building is about Getting Around. |
|
18:18
Matthew: someone can help me with the scripts because I am not as strong on
that |
|
18:18
Megan: nope, just three floors. |
|
18:18
Pam: plus the welcome area |
|
18:18
Trish: roof? |
|
18:18
Pam: plus the why area |
|
18:18
Megan: The first floor is about using the map and what it has to offer. |
|
18:18
Pam: plus the roofs |
|
18:18
Patrick: Pam - did you take copies of many people's stuff? |
|
18:18
Megan: I'll talk about the roogs and welcome area in a minute |
|
18:18
Pam: some not all |
|
18:18
Pam: I can do info on how to use maps |
|
18:19
Megan: ok |
|
18:19
Patrick: Will we each include a prim with "more info at these URL"? |
|
18:19
Megan: I would like us all to pitch in with the second floor. |
|
18:19
Megan: hold on a second and we will get to what needs to be included |
|
18:19
Matthew: if you think its necessary throw it in |
|
18:20
Megan: The second floor is points of interest and setting your home location. |
|
18:20
Pam: So we could all add two points of interest each? |
|
18:20
Megan: I would like us all to come up with a point of interest in SL. |
|
18:20
Megan: yeah |
|
18:20
Pam: is one enough |
|
18:20
Megan: Then Brian is left with Walking/Flying/Teleporting |
|
18:20
Matthew: sounds good |
|
18:20
Matthew: I would think so Pam |
|
18:20
Megan: one will be enough to fill up the space for sure |
|
18:21
Megan: Pam could you help out with swimming? |
|
18:21
Pam: how will a SL location fill up the space? |
|
18:21
Trish: with the pts of interest, how are we going to get this across? I'm not
understanding other than pointing out good places. |
|
18:21
Trish: From Metaverse, we can't teleport into SL? |
|
18:21
Megan: I will put up posters with pictures of the spaces |
|
18:21
Pam: k |
|
18:22 Megan:
No but we can put a link to where it is located in the real SL. |
|
18:22
Trish: gottcha. |
|
18:22
Pam: What do you mean about swimming? I didn't understand what you want to do
with the idea. |
|
18:22
Megan: You had posted the idea that we could teach someone how to swim |
|
18:22
Megan: I was going to include a pool on one of the floors as a result. |
|
18:22
Pam: I just meant that with movement we needed to know we could jump in the
water and not drown and get around. |
|
18:23
Megan: Would you be able to make directions on how to do that? |
|
18:23
Pam: We could let them have an experience in the water and tell them to go
pet the shark |
|
18:23 Pam:
Tony's |
|
18:23
Trish: like it! |
|
18:23
Pam: not our |
|
18:24
Pam: not ours |
|
18:24
Megan: ok |
|
18:24 Megan:
Alright so is everyone ok with the floor that they are picking? |
|
18:24
Trish: y |
|
18:24 Matthew:
im good |
|
18:24
Megan: I will then move on to what each floor should certainly have then |
|
18:24
Pam: do we have the roofs covered? |
|
18:25
Megan: I will get there |
|
18:25
Pam: k |
|
18:25
Megan: Each floor should not include just objects, but how to create those
objects. We cannot just show it but need to explain how we did it. |
|
18:25
Matthew: agreed |
|
18:25
Megan: As a result, we can all create notecards that do this. |
|
18:26 Pam:
Or screen shots or Jing video |
|
18:26
Trish: no porblem. |
|
18:26
Trish: I think Jing videos will be good as well. |
|
18:26
Megan: In addition, if you take pictures as you build something, we can
create handouts that looks like an instruction manual |
|
18:26
Trish: *problem |
|
18:26
Megan: these can be screen shots |
|
18:26
Patrick: not jing video |
|
18:26
Pam: or link to web sites with info on it |
|
18:27
Trish: I think Jing videos with narration will be helpful. Screnshots for
less complicated things. |
|
18:27
Patrick: unless we "subdivide" |
|
18:27
Megan: If you create notecards then I will create the picture cards, provided
that you email me your screen shots. This way they will all look uniform. |
|
18:27
Patrick: ok - I'll go along |
|
18:27
Matthew: put a video up on youtue and link to it |
|
18:27
Megan: Cool? |
|
18:27
Trish: fine |
|
18:27
Pam: you mean a picture card to click to get the note card? |
|
18:28
Megan: a notecard that they can take and a picture card that they can take,
similar to the map that I made on my site. |
|
18:28
Matthew: shall we all agree to a little bit of creative freedom on how we
present the material |
|
18:28
Megan: sure |
|
18:28
Trish: yes. |
|
18:29
Matthew: I think the important thing is what content goes in |
|
18:29
Pam: I think we need that freedom but need to make sure the building looks
like one theme or unit not disjointed |
|
18:29
Pam: I agree matt the content is the most important |
|
18:29
Matthew: it does have one theme |
|
18:29
Megan: agreed. As we all build out things we can continuously comment on everyones
work. |
|
18:29
Megan: We need to agree to be ok with creative criticism |
|
18:29
Pam: it does but it could look like 6 different people made it |
|
18:30
Pam: Megan good point |
|
18:30
Trish: Please make sure to add copies of all your create to your inventory in
case we have any issues. |
|
18:30
Megan: I will add a section to the wiki for commenting on everyone work. |
|
18:30
Pam: suggestions are great |
|
18:30
Megan: Are we ok to this point? |
|
18:30
Pam: helpful |
|
18:31
Trish: y |
|
18:31
Matthew: yep |
|
18:31
Pam: yep |
|
18:31
Megan: Patrick and Pam? |
|
18:31
Patrick: Megan? |
|
18:31
Pam: LOL! |
|
18:31
Megan: are you ok to this point Patrick? |
|
18:32
Patrick: Yes, I was 2nd to respond |
|
18:32
Megan: oh, sorry. I didn't see that. |
|
18:32
Pam: I have a LAG |
|
18:32
Megan: ok, so roofs... |
|
18:32
Trish: talk louder, Patrick |
|
18:32
Patrick: Brian? |
|
18:32
Pam: YOU MEAN TALK LOUDER PATRICK! |
|
18:33
Trish: lol! |
|
18:33
Megan: The roof tops are just objects, no explanation and what not. |
|
18:33
Pam: Great |
|
18:33
Trish: Can Brian do that and then pitch in to help the rest of us as needed? |
|
18:33
Megan: As such, I can do that seeing as all that I am doing is putting up the
structure and helping Patrick a little bit. |
|
18:33
Megan: The same is true for the sandboxes. |
|
18:33
Matthew: so things that people can take |
|
18:33
Patrick: He's got 'moving around' |
|
18:33
Matthew: and use to decorate their structures |
|
18:33
Trish: Oh, Brain could do the Welcome Center. |
|
18:34
Megan: Brian already has moving around |
|
18:34
Pam: Plus we have a Why justification? |
|
18:34
Patrick: So the rooftop is a big box of "lost and found" that
replenishes? |
|
18:34
Trish: Brian, not Brain |
|
18:34
Patrick: People can just take inventory with them? |
|
18:34
Pam: Why use OpenSim for educational purposes |
|
18:34
Megan: The welcome center can be the last part that we do. It is mainly a
structure with directions. Not too hard. |
|
18:34
Trish: We can lose the why, if you want. It was just a thought. |
|
18:34
Megan: So Pam brings up the why part... |
|
18:34
Trish: We seem to have plenty to do. |
|
18:35
Pam: It's a good idea what do the rest of you think |
|
18:35
Megan: We can worry about that and the welcome area after we get a jump on
this. |
|
18:35
Patrick: Wouldn't "WHY" fall under Tony's jursidiction? |
|
18:35
Pam: fair enough |
|
18:35
Patrick: Jurisdiction ... Not Jersey Diction |
|
18:35
Megan: If everyone helps me out with the why and great uses for it then I can
do that while you guys continue to work on your parts. |
|
18:36
Pam: That would be great |
|
18:36 Megan:
Seeing as I'll be done already |
|
18:36
Trish: ounds good. |
|
18:36
Trish: *sounds. can't type tonight. |
|
18:36
Megan: is everyone ok with that? |
|
18:36
Pam: Will we have any landscaping like bushes and trees? |
|
18:36
Megan: yes, I'll have that done tonight |
|
18:36
Pam: OK with that |
|
18:37
Pam: the why - ok with it |
|
18:37
Megan: everyone else? |
|
18:37
Patrick: and a diaper changing station with no explanation |
|
18:37 Matthew:
im good |
|
18:37
Trish: y |
|
18:37 Megan:
lol |
|
18:37
Patrick: I am OK with the WHY |
|
18:37 Megan:
cool. a few last things |
|
18:38
Pam: Is someone doing the movie? |
|
18:38
Matthew: yes |
|
18:38
Megan: We need to create the video. I had some thoughts about this as well. I
was thinking that I will take multiple screen shots of the land as I build
the structure |
|
18:39
Megan: Then at the beginning of the video we could do a speed through this
like the history channel does for showing how a biulding is errected |
|
18:39
Matthew: if everyone films or takes screen shots of their work ive offered to
edit it |
|
18:39
Pam: We should all take some screen shots for Matt as we work |
|
18:39
Megan: then we could do the same with each floor as it develops |
|
18:39
Trish: good idea. |
|
18:39
Pam: So you want each of us to take screen shots of our floor as we work? |
|
18:39
Megan: These shots could be the introduction in the video to each section. |
|
18:40
Megan: yes |
|
18:40
Patrick: Full Screen? What resolution? |
|
18:40
Matthew: yes |
|
18:40
Megan: view of floor. the resolution is up to Matt |
|
18:40
Pam: If we all take our section shots consistently does it matter? |
|
18:40
Matthew: whatever you feel you need to include to give your work justice |
|
18:41
Megan: true |
|
18:41
Pam: Do we need someone to document our progress in the forum each week? |
|
18:41
Megan: Then in the video we need to talk about each floor right? |
|
18:41
Pam: I think Tony wants us to explain what each of us did as well as document
the process of creation |
|
18:41
Megan: I will take daily pictures of the work and post them in the foum. |
|
18:42
Matthew: if you put that in an audacity file that would be good |
|
18:42
Megan: Then could each person just describe what they have done. |
|
18:42
Matthew: it's a five minute video right? |
|
18:42
Pam: yes five minutes |
|
18:42
Pam: not much time |
|
18:42
Matthew: 30-45 seconds max |
|
18:42
Trish: can do. |
|
18:42
Matthew: on each explaaation to five me time for an intro and conclusion |
|
18:42
Pam: for us to explain our part? |
|
18:43
Patrick: OK ... but there might be questions once Megan has the structure in
place |
|
18:43
Megan: So you want 30-45 seconds from each person? |
|
18:43
Matthew: yes |
|
18:43
Megan: cool |
|
18:43
Pam: of audio? |
|
18:43
Matthew: yes |
|
18:43
Trish: You can edit us as needed, Matt. |
|
18:43
Megan: you want only sound? |
|
18:43
Megan: and then you will place that with the images right? |
|
18:43 Pam:
shouldn't we let matt choose the pictures he wants to use |
|
18:43
Matthew: correct |
|
18:44
Pam: so we send pictures and audio separate |
|
18:44
Megan: yeah, but submit a bunch to him |
|
18:44
Pam: lots |
|
18:44
Matthew: yes |
|
18:44
Megan: as you go along, right? |
|
18:44
Pam: yes so he has time to get it done |
|
18:44
Trish: Or do you want everything at the same time, Matt? |
|
18:44
Megan: cool |
|
18:44
Matthew: well be realistic |
|
18:44
Pam: maybe the audio by the end of week three? |
|
18:44
Matthew: for 45 seconds I dont need more than ten |
|
18:45
Pam: k |
|
18:45
Megan: ok, so one other item of business... |
|
18:45
Matthew: maybe 15 pictues but I wont use more than 15 |
|
18:46
Pam: k |
|
18:46
Megan: We have a lot of forms of communication going on. I have compiled
everything so far into the wiki. Let's keep out communication to emails and
comments in the wiki. |
|
18:46
Pam: k |
|
18:46
Patrick: should we "time stamp" our wiki entries? |
|
18:46
Megan: Instead of going back and forth in the forum. Let's leave that for
progress only and other people to comment |
|
18:46
Megan: the program does that automatically |
|
18:46
Pam: isn't it in the history |
|
18:46
Megan: yes pam |
|
18:47
Pam: k megan |
|
18:47
Megan: I will continue to compile emails by day |
|
18:47
Trish: if we put the time in, we won't have to refer to the history. |
|
18:47
Patrick: yes - but it might be easier to drop in and see a hard-coded
date/time |
|
18:47
Patrick: agree with Trish |
|
18:47
Megan: If you communicate in opensim with someone please sent it to me and I
can put it in the wiki |
|
18:47
Pam: works for me one group is color coding |
|
18:47
Pam: someone is green text |
|
18:47
Pam: someone is red |
|
18:47
Matthew: if you add something that everyone needs to see maybe email it out |
|
18:48
Megan: I am hosting all of the communication on my website. |
|
18:48
Megan: yes |
|
18:48 Pam:
i saw that thanks |
|
18:48
Megan: I can go through the wiki and color it. |
|
18:48
Trish: what's the website, megn? |
|
18:48
Trish: *Megan. |
|
18:48
Megan: all of the links are in the wiki, but it is all hosted at http://www.meganpule.com |
|
18:49
Trish: ok, thanks. |
|
18:49
Pam: Do we need a regular weekly meeting time? |
|
18:49
Megan: You have to have the link from the wiki to get to the specific spot. I
don't have them available to anyone on my site. |
|
18:49
Megan: I think we should just to check in. |
|
18:50 Pam:
i agree even if they're brief (hopefully) |
|
18:50
Megan: Can we all meet in here on Thursdays after office hours? |
|
18:50
Trish: I can do that. |
|
18:50
Matthew: what time are office hours 7? |
|
18:50
Pam: I meet on Wednesday |
|
18:50
Matthew: so we'd meet at 8? |
|
18:50
Megan: Wednesday is the only day that I really can't meet. |
|
18:50
Pam: So I would need a time because I won't know when you're done |
|
18:50
Trish: 7-8. |
|
18:50
Megan: I used to meet on Wednesday but I just started a softball league |
|
18:51

|
18:51
Pam: they're 7-9 but tony doesn't keep us that long |
|
18:51
Matthew: 8 on Thursday |
|
18:51
Matthew: is fine by me |

close to the start time |
|
18:51
Trish: Baby, grad school, work, softball? |
|
18:51
Pam: 8 on Thursday |

|
18:52
Megan: unless you use a desktop |
|
18:52
Pam: Hah! Good idea! |
|
18:52
Patrick: it is supposed to be brief |
|
18:52
Pam: and that will keep it that way |
|
18:52
Trish: |
|
18:52
Patrick: GREAT! |
|
18:52
Megan: awesome. So we will all meet here Thursday at 8:15? |

Pam: all the content Tony wants this week? |
|
18:53
Megan: I will go through them one more time before we leave |
|
18:53
Trish: Do we have a role carved out for BRian? |
|
18:53
Pam: Do we need to post a summary for Tony for the assignment? |
|
18:53
Megan: yes |
|
18:53
Pam: I think a summary would be a good idea |
|
18:53
Megan: yes, to both of you. I will post it seeing as I'm posting this on the
wiki. |
|
18:54
Trish: Thanks. |
|
18:54
Pam: You are the bomb, boss! |
|
18:54
Pam: (Is that the right word?) |
|
18:54
Patrick: Must have some OSU background to be this good ... |
|
18:54
Trish: I think you got it, Pam. |
|
18:54
Megan: ok, so here is the run down... (lol, OSU and ASU... one great
combination) |
|
18:54
Pam: Just checking. My children say I'm an embarrassment. |
|
18:55
Trish: lol |
|
18:55
Pam: I should just buy spandex and forget life |
|
18:55 Pam:

|
18:55
Trish: oh no. Not that! |
|
18:55 Pam:

|
18:55
Pam: NEVER SPANDEX |
|
18:55

|
18:56
Megan: ok, so here it goes. Let me know if I have it wrong... |

sandbox spaces. Also helping out Patrick with female clothing. |
|
18:57
Megan: Patrick: Working on the Avatar floors, gender, clothing and gestures. |
|
18:58

Megan: We all agree to come up with a place of interest in SL that you will
send to me for the second floor in that building. |

Megan: I'll put signs on the floor as to who and what goes where so we don't
get confused |
|
19:03
Patrick: awesome - thanks |
|
19:03
Pam: did we decide about the welcome area |
|
19:04
Matthew: why dont we give the welcome and why to brian |
|
19:04
Megan: We will get to that in weeks to come, but I can do quite a bit there once
we get started. It will be really simple. |
|
19:04
Pam: k |
|
19:04 Matthew:
i dont think walking and flying is going to take any time at all |
|
19:04
Megan: Just what is going on in what direction |
|
19:04
Pam: you could do mouse view |
|
19:04
Megan: Brian then can help out greatly with the welcome center. |
|
19:05
Patrick: and turning off the typing hands |
|
19:05
Pam: yeah |
|
19:05
Megan: We will also chip in with ideas for "Why" |
|
19:05
Pam: and what if you go crazy and keep crashing through the earth |
|
19:05
Pam: right - why ideas |
|
19:06
Trish: yes, the why. We could have links to research/videos on the benefits. |
|
19:06
Pam: and how it provides unique qualities |
|
19:06
Megan: also, great ways to incorporate it into content areas |
|
19:07
Megan: I know that we are mainly math, but I'm sure we can all brainstorm |
|
19:07
Trish: I love the applications for SS. |
|
19:07
Megan: We can talk about that at one of our meetings as well as post ideas in
the wiki. |
|
19:07
Trish: You can visit geographic locals, historic times, etc. |
|
19:07
Pam: some of our discussions in the forums speak to this too |
|
19:07
Megan: true |
|
19:08
Pam: people in other subject areas |

19:08 Megan:
Alright, so did I get it all? |

19:08
Trish: I beleive so. |
|
19:08
Pam: think so |
|
19:08
Trish: *believe. |
|
19:08
Megan: Cool, can someone send that out in an email to everyone as a reminder
and as a 411 for Brian? |
|
19:08
Patrick: yes |
|
19:08
Megan: Thank you Patrick |
|
19:09
Trish: will this chat save here? |
|
19:09
Patrick: yes |
|
19:09
Patrick: dam lag |
|
19:09

|
19:09
Megan: I am putting it on my site with a link in the wiki |
|
19:10
Matthew: good deal |
|
19:10
Matthew: this is going to be a neat project |
|
19:10
Megan: it really is! |
|
19:10
Pam: =] |
|
19:11
Megan: one last question. Instead of all metal, given that we will have trees
and what not... how about a brick and wood structure? |
|
19:11
Patrick: OK |
|
19:12
Pam: Works for me. |
|
19:12
Trish: It adds a warmer feel. |
|
19:12
Megan: something classic yet open and airy? |
|
19:12 Pam:
Open is good so is airy |
|
19:12
Trish: 3 more weeks...is that all? Brian and I are graduating. Anyone else? |
|
19:12
Matthew: as long as its consistant, it doesn't matter to me |
|
19:12
Matthew: you are the artist |
|
19:12
Pam: Congrats, Trish!!! |
|
19:12
Trish: thanks. whew! |
|
19:12
Megan: I also found mulch for texture for in flower beds and rocks with
stepping stones for the walk ways |
|
19:12
Matthew: not til fall |
|
19:13
Pam: not til fall for me too |
|
19:13
Megan: me too |
|
19:13
Pam: mulch is great! |
|
19:13 Patrick:
If only that last class was a summer class... |
|
19:14
Pam: you'd take THREE this summer? |
|
19:14
Matthew: that would be so nice |
|
19:14
Patrick: No - I have been doubling up all along so my stay is 1/2 |
|
19:14
Patrick: Only need 2 |
|
19:14
Trish: After the summer classes, these semester long classes seem sooo long. |
|
19:14
Pam: one year? |
|
19:15
Patrick: yes |
|
19:15
Pam: wow |
|
19:15
Trish: Wow. A guy in my cohort did that. |
|
19:15
Patrick: it sucks |
|
19:15
Trish: Amazing, and he got married in that time as well. |
|
19:15
Pam: do you even teach? |
|
19:15
Megan: I've been doubling up too. |
|
19:15
Pam: or sleep? |
|
19:15
Patrick: I took an HRE elective and don't do much else |
|
19:15
Trish: That's enough, Megan. Jimminy crickets! |
|
19:16
Matthew: sleep is for the weak |
|
19:16 Megan:
lol, it is the only way to get financial aid |
|
19:16
Pam: Giving us two year people a complex! ;) |
|
19:16
Patrick: BINGO! |
|
19:16
Trish: we must be slow. |
|
19:16
Patrick: Financial Aid dictates a lot |
|
19:16
Pam: it feels pretty busy to me |
|
19:16
Patrick: Brendan is doubing up, too |
|
19:16
Pam: you get more financial aid? |
|
19:16
Patrick: financial aid period |
|
19:16
Megan: Yeah, I have a lot to do in our other class. How has the work been in
there? |
|
19:17
Megan: You have to take 6 credits to get financial aid |
|
19:17
Patrick: Our other class .... 490? No clue |
|
19:17
Pam: Oh! |
|
19:17
Patrick: I feel a little bad about that, too |
|
19:18 Megan:
lol, I'm pretty muchly trying to an assignment every other day now for like a
week or so. By doing the building for this assignment it will open up some
time for my to focus on the other class. |
|
19:18
Trish: Well guys, I need to go find my son. He is somewhere in the neighborhood.
Slacker mom! |
|
19:18
Matthew: I don'tmean to be anti social, but I got people coming over for the
hockey game, I gotta get ready for. Do you we have anything else? |
|
19:18
Trish: Go Blackhawks! |
|
19:18

Matthew: oh and thanks Megan for taking control here that was excellent |

that. |
|
19:20
Matthew: see ya all |
|
19:20
Matthew: its all good |
