Beth Ritter-Guth: 2007 SL BP Conference...HERE WE COME!
Beth: I am planning a conference in SL for the end of May, and was wondering if your students would like to put together a poster session on the Horizon project
Victoria: Now, I can go on the adult grid but they can't.
Beth: they wouldn't have to go in - they could make the graphics and PPT, and you could operate the avatar
Victoria: What is the date?
Victoria: That is really cool!
Victoria: Oh, our last day of school! Ha ha!
Beth: they could do a presentation or a poster session
Victoria: We get out at noon that day, but I could do it that afternoon.
We could create the powerpoint or actually, how about a video that we stream in?
Beth: The conference is 24 hours
Victoria: yes, we could do it that morning.
Beth: That would be perfect
Victoria: Or right after it gets out.
How about I ask them if they want to see it or not.
Beth: you can pre-record at any time
into MOV file
Victoria: Yes, we could prerecord a mov file!
That is so cool!
Beth: We are encouraging nest proactices from the tenn grid
sorry, best
so, the whole event is G
and you are welcome to present on thier behalf
their
Victoria: That would be really amazing.
Can I ask them if they want to watch on the smartboard or not?
And is a person going to be videoing the event (machinima?)
that is what a lot are doing
Victoria: They are doing movies and pulling in and presenting for their kids?
Beth: we are looking for someone to do it, yes
Beth: yes, they are being the avatar
Victoria: Hey, can I copy and paste this onto the Ning?
Beth: and putting it up on the projector for thd kids
Victoria: And if we do it in class, they could actually "be" me and we supervise.
and please invite EVERYONE
yes, they can be you
Victoria: I can share it on my blog too-- do you have a slurl or something?
is the wiki and the main Slurl is there
Victoria: Ok, I'm going to post this everywhere and will talk to my students about it (and administration).
Beth: I am updating it now
Victoria: The last day of school will be tough but I really feel like they are a small part of a very big and growing revolution.
I want them to be a part and what a way to end.
How long would it be?
Beth: we want to showcase the cool things happening in K-12
it can be as long as you want
no more than an hour
Victoria: OK, and do you want me to mention it to the other teachers on the project.
Victoria: You might even want Sharon Peters who is working with the sounding board in there too.
We would probably only be able to do 20-30 minutes at most.
Beth: it is 24 hour gig, so we can do the live portion at a good time for everyone
Victoria: We run a short schedule on the last da.
OK, I'll get back to you on Monday.
I think it will be cool for them to have a place to go with it - teaching the professors
Victoria: The kids are the center of this thing and that would be really cool.
We could see if some of the people from the NMC would come in.
Beth: NMC is one of our Gold sponsors
:-) they will be very happy to see the connection, I think
Victoria: Alan Levine is an advisor on the horizon project and has been VERY helpful with some questions.
I would like to post up a wiki-board in SL on the Horizon project at Lit Alive
is that ok?
Victoria: YES! Awesome! I'll ahve to come over and edit.
And perhaps we coudl schedule some times with the class that you and I can interact and they can interview you in sL
Beth: It will be screen shots
saved as jpeg
sure!
Victoria: It would be awesome to have an interview in there
And some way to film it.
I don't know how to do machinima.
Beth: camstasia works soooo slow
but it can be used
Victoria: I have camstudio.
Beth: it goes super slow, but it will work
Victoria: The free thing.
Beth: let me see if one of the animators will help us
Victoria: Oh, that would be great.
Because I would love for that group to have some real machinima in their final video.
I've already required them to listen to last week's show.
Beth: one of the people i have met here is one of the animatots from Lord of the Rings
Victoria: to their project page?
Beth: I will email him and copy you
to the wow page
Sent at 8:50 AM on Saturday
I'm going to make sure that everyone over at horizon and on my blog looks at this.
We really want the K-12 population to have a voice at the conference
GlobalKids will likely be a gold sponsor
Victoria: And I'll let you know on Monday -- If we do it, it will be from 8 a.m. until around 8:40 on Monday at the longest -- maybe closer to 8:10-8:30 but I have to check the final schedule.
I wish there was a way to have it on an island on the teen grid and get approval for the adults who enter.
Kids people
oops
WE are going to chat with Global Kids
and see if they can stream
Victoria: And yo uare the originator?
of course
I like to start fire
passion
Victoria: It is wonderful!
Beth: we are very blessed
Victoria: OK, I'm going to leave up this box and copy some of it onto the blog in amoment.
graham wegner is thinking about agreeing to be a sounding board for our peer review process.
And give advice for middle school peer review.
Victoria: It is very exciting.
OK, thank you and I'm going to be in touch on Monday.
Beth: I am asking one of the gurus
if we can stream live into both teen and M grid
Victoria: Oh YEAH! Now that would be awesome!
Beth: I know we can do the videos
at the same time
but then the QA
Beth: would be streamed over from teen grid
Victoria: Well, it sounds like you have some work to do.
We'll just make ourselves available.
And I hope to do an interview with you for our team next week. I'll be in touch.
no i am good at delegating
tc :-)
Victoria: OK, we'll be in touch.
I'm excited and I'll pass this along!
