[2018/08/16 12:14] Zo (zotarah.shepherd): I was happiest with meeting so many great educators who use VWs to teach. Also my Multiple Intelligence build, my educational Island Miralonde and my work on the old teen grid.

[2018/08/16 12:14] Sheila Yoshikawa: no

Beyond that meeting. Fantastic and interesting people.
[2018/08/16 12:17] Sheila Yoshikawa: I will be typing in the text that Marly has given me
[2018/08/16 12:17] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:17] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: Hi folks! Thanks for coming today! Rather than taking any time talking about my background, I suggest you go to my website later to explore the many facets of my being. http://www.peoplesystemspotential.com
[2018/08/16 12:17] Zussa Ryba: I used SL as an ex of VWorlds in my pre college teaching in social science – met 3 of my students here, but they were abused back to real life… sad to say, and I never repeated that experiment
[2018/08/16 12:17] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I don’t do anything in SL that does not make me happy!
[2018/08/16 12:17] Heike Philp (gwen.gwasi): Marly’s bio is awesome: M.S. Education/Communications- Gestalt therapist, composer, musician, artist, actor, educator, trainer, coach, educational designer, facilitator.
[2018/08/16 12:18] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I have developed a unique method of using the available building and other technology in SL called Symbolic Modeling, or SymMods for short and have created a working collaborative team to produce a series of short films showing how it can be applied to educational, creative and personal development goals.
[2018/08/16 12:18] Maggie Larimore: life is better here Zussa now that the adult grid is separate from us
[2018/08/16 12:18] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I am looking forward to using these films as training tools and material for discussions about creative process which is my main passion. I will be inviting learners to have a variety of experiences based on the films. I really enjoy making this tool available to those who like to play with metaphor and symbols to extract meaning.
[2018/08/16 12:18] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I have developed different programs using this approach and That has been the most fun for me here. I have also really enjoyed setting up my gallery to house my art and a workshop space with the creations of others and inviting people to play with the images for greater self-understanding. I love that kind of exploration and continue to derive great satisfaction from these activities.
[2018/08/16 12:19] Sheila Yoshikawa: she loves combining arts and education
[2018/08/16 12:19] Zussa Ryba: have you been to the Social Islands where virtually all the newbies arrive now? Who rules there? Abusers!!

[2018/08/16 12:19] Maggie Larimore: ‘ve been several times in recent yeas and luckily all was okay
[2018/08/16 12:19] Sheila Yoshikawa: Or your own responses
[2018/08/16 12:19] Sheila Yoshikawa: If anyone wants to type in quickly THEIR response to the question “What have you done in a VW that you are happiest with? ” then do so
[2018/08/16 12:20] Sheila Yoshikawa: sorry I can’t type fast and speak at the same time!

[2018/08/16 12:20] Maggie Larimore: like, Marly virtually everything I do makes me happy
[2018/08/16 12:20] Zussa Ryba: I once had an educational sim here, but the LL put up tier prices and dollar went up and our money down, so that was that…
[2018/08/16 12:20] Sheila Yoshikawa: 😉 Maggie

[2018/08/16 12:22] Gann McGann: how has your work here been received by the institutions you work at? or is that irrelevant
[2018/08/16 12:22] Sheila Yoshikawa: The second question is
[2018/08/16 12:22] Sheila Yoshikawa: – What are the features of the VW you are using that are particularly suited to what you want to do?
[2018/08/16 12:22] Gann McGann: ok, poor timing on my part

[2018/08/16 12:26] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: Both is a lot of fun and when people are saying that they are put off by the graphics, we now learned to install socalled texture packs which turn these large pixels into nice graphics.
[2018/08/16 12:26] Sheila Yoshikawa: like the idea of going wild on building!
[2018/08/16 12:26] Sheila Yoshikawa: ahh what a good idea

[2018/08/16 12:27] Kali Pizzaro: – the immersive, visual, auditory and avatar – based environment allows excellent simulation and interesting place and embodied identity is josh facilitated recall of information, sense making and when done socially collecting intelligence and distributed co- created knowledge
[2018/08/16 12:27] ecoonis – Christian Angel (ecoonis): yes Sheila
[2018/08/16 12:28] Sheila Yoshikawa: “so much more engaging than flat” (2D) says Kali
[2018/08/16 12:28] Sheila Yoshikawa: also she says e.g. sense of flying through information
[2018/08/16 12:29] Sheila Yoshikawa: and getting the collaborative approach
[2018/08/16 12:29] Sheila Yoshikawa: getting into a group that is positive and collaborative
[2018/08/16 12:29] Sheila Yoshikawa: also intergenerational
[2018/08/16 12:29] Sheila Yoshikawa: and have a lot of collective intelligence and knowledge to share
[2018/08/16 12:29] AbnormalDead: voila
[2018/08/16 12:30] Sheila Yoshikawa: that MAY also include negative (this is all what Kali says)
[2018/08/16 12:30] Sheila Yoshikawa: but one can then leave the group!
[2018/08/16 12:30] AbnormalDead: it’s a question of interpretation
[2018/08/16 12:30] Sheila Yoshikawa: That kind of positive affirmation
[2018/08/16 12:30] Sheila Yoshikawa: that you are appreciated
[2018/08/16 12:30] Sheila Yoshikawa: makes it egalitarian
[2018/08/16 12:30] Sheila Yoshikawa: there is not an expectation that you have to have a “title”
[2018/08/16 12:30] Sheila Yoshikawa: so not a major hierarchy
[2018/08/16 12:31] AbnormalDead: ain’t nothing “negative”, every kind of people can feed our own edification
[2018/08/16 12:31] Sheila Yoshikawa: more an environment of sharing
[2018/08/16 12:31] Sheila Yoshikawa: so there’s a bigger symbolic feeling of belonging
[2018/08/16 12:31] AbnormalDead: even Linden
[2018/08/16 12:31] Sheila Yoshikawa: more than just the individual
[2018/08/16 12:31] Sheila Yoshikawa: so that can spin to some amazing projects!
[2018/08/16 12:31] Gann McGann: I think that sense of belonging extends to the people you know irl as well
[2018/08/16 12:31] Kali Pizzaro: exactly
[2018/08/16 12:31] Maggie Larimore: I agree so true
[2018/08/16 12:31] Gann McGann: always a sense of camaraderie when you meet them offline
[2018/08/16 12:32] Sheila Yoshikawa: yes positive or negative – what you make of it!
[2018/08/16 12:32] Sheila Yoshikawa: now hand over to Marly
[2018/08/16 12:32] Sheila Yoshikawa: but I will type in the text she’s given me
[2018/08/16 12:32] Sheila Yoshikawa: “Ditto ditto” she says
[2018/08/16 12:32] Kali Pizzaro: Yes Gann
[2018/08/16 12:33] Sheila Yoshikawa: She says the major thing is mining people’s creativity
[2018/08/16 12:33] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: The Building capabilities provide the technology for developing my SymMod approach, also , a web drawing screen that can be used inworld, I do a workshop called Visions of Self in my gallery which I referred to earlier.
[2018/08/16 12:33] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I could not afford to have a gallery and workshop space like this out there. And, on another sim, I have a house and gardens which I play with and enjoy inviting people tto visit and have great talks.
[2018/08/16 12:33] Kali Pizzaro: that is a great point Marly
[2018/08/16 12:33] Kali Pizzaro: cost
[2018/08/16 12:34] Sheila Yoshikawa: Sheila says: I have a whole string of houses lol
[2018/08/16 12:34] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I like the bartering and collaborative spirit here which makes it much easier to exchange talents, skills, space, etc. which is a feature that suits my nature and is not so easy to do Out There.
[2018/08/16 12:34] AbnormalDead: I banned all Linden, Mole & Tester off my street gallery
[2018/08/16 12:34] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: The film project we have been developing will be housed in a special fantasy tree area making use of building technology. The whole project which we have been working on for months is fully collaborative. We are calling it the Octagon Cinema Grove which will open to the SL public in the fall.
[2018/08/16 12:34] Maggie Larimore: that’s me and my husband too, we couldn’t afford a physical space in the RL for our library, so the affordances here are fantastic, and even better financially in open sim worlds
[2018/08/16 12:35] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly wants to create different kinds of learning environment
[2018/08/16 12:35] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I am especially grateful for the ability to collaborate with people who are geographically distant. The ability to reach people all over the world is also a valuable feature.
[2018/08/16 12:35] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I also love being able to bring arts lovers together for unique programs using musicians and artists who improvise to each other’s creations in real time.
[2018/08/16 12:35] Kali Pizzaro: yes Global Marly great
[2018/08/16 12:35] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: The programs I do here have elements of what I have done during my long career out there but could not be duplicated there in the same way.
[2018/08/16 12:35] Kali Pizzaro: creating digital citienship
[2018/08/16 12:35] Kali Pizzaro: lol
[2018/08/16 12:35] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: For the artists and musicians, it is an opportunity to try out their ideas spontaneously and be supported by an enthusiastic audience that can also participate. That does not often happen in regular life.
[2018/08/16 12:35] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:36] Sheila Yoshikawa: so you aren’t being passive, she says
[2018/08/16 12:36] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I am also a regular member of VWER, The Roadside Philosophers and my own Whole Brain Health collective on Inspiration Island which all satisfy my need for exchanging ideas and experiences with colleagues and kindred spirits on a consistent basis since I am retired and live alone.
[2018/08/16 12:36] Sheila Yoshikawa: Thanks Marly!
[2018/08/16 12:37] Camie Rembrandt: I’d like to retrieve a question by Gann McGann (I don’t think it was answered):
[12:22] Gann McGann: how has your work here been received by the institutions you work at? or is that irrelevant
[2018/08/16 12:37] Sheila Yoshikawa: Heike is saying she is self employed
[2018/08/16 12:37] Sheila Yoshikawa: she has clients that are institutions
[2018/08/16 12:37] Sheila Yoshikawa: but other than that no
[2018/08/16 12:38] Kali Pizzaro: ok but they wanted it to be a silver bullet like most tech
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: Kali says:
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: it was an issue
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: there was support
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: but they wanted it to do everything
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: be innovative
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: but everyone had to be able to use it
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: and that didn’t work
[2018/08/16 12:38] Sheila Yoshikawa: that doesn’t work
[2018/08/16 12:39] AbnormalDead: the end is at hand, but pls folks, don’t pay attention to
[2018/08/16 12:39] Sheila Yoshikawa: unless you have a dull boring virtual learning platform (e.g. Blackboard, Sheila would say)
[2018/08/16 12:39] Kali Pizzaro: however here is the key my motto is Proceed until apprehended
[2018/08/16 12:39] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:39] Sheila Yoshikawa: lol a good motto Kali
[2018/08/16 12:39] Marly (marly.milena): I have been an external trainer and consultant for most of my career so, once they buy into what I am offering, I have carte blanche.
[2018/08/16 12:39] Sheila Yoshikawa: so Kali says she does what she wants to do til they tell her not to
[2018/08/16 12:39] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:39] Sheila Yoshikawa: and by then she has perhaps published a paper or whatever
[2018/08/16 12:40] Sheila Yoshikawa: which can make them think perhaps it is ok!
[2018/08/16 12:40] Torgon Woodget: 😀 easier to ask for forgiveness than to get permission?
[2018/08/16 12:40] Gann McGann: that’s true everywhere 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:40] Kali Pizzaro: Exact;y
[2018/08/16 12:40] Kali Pizzaro: yes
[2018/08/16 12:40] Gann McGann: though have been “let go” so many times now – i’m beginning to wonder if it’s a successful strategy
[2018/08/16 12:40] Sheila Yoshikawa: I was just asking Marly
[2018/08/16 12:41] Maggie Larimore: when it comes to VW I’m also self-employed
[2018/08/16 12:41] Sheila Yoshikawa: yes she types in above
[2018/08/16 12:41] Sheila Yoshikawa: that she can do what she wants
[2018/08/16 12:41] Maggie Larimore: 🙂 Marly
[2018/08/16 12:41] Sheila Yoshikawa: and she does!
[2018/08/16 12:41] Liriel (quippe.wylder): Is that because you do art, Marley?
[2018/08/16 12:41] Kali Pizzaro: Sure Gann but I have full time permanent and do lots of other things they do not have many folks to do…..
[2018/08/16 12:41] AbnormalDead: Volkswagen?
[2018/08/16 12:41] Maggie Larimore: virtual worlds
[2018/08/16 12:41] Sheila Yoshikawa: if one dares to take risks in those settings, Marly says, the learners never forget
[2018/08/16 12:41] AbnormalDead: ah ok
[2018/08/16 12:42] Sheila Yoshikawa: so most of what she does is experiential
[2018/08/16 12:42] Maggie Larimore: she’s liberated … 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:42] ThinkererSelby Evans (thinkerer.melville): Once you hear a lecture on swimming, you never forget what you learned about lecture
[2018/08/16 12:42] AbnormalDead: so I use to call this a live cartoon, or at the limit a metaverse
[2018/08/16 12:43] Kali Pizzaro: She is trying to work out what I mean
[2018/08/16 12:43] Kali Pizzaro: lol
[2018/08/16 12:43] Sheila Yoshikawa: marly says she does lots of things other than art
[2018/08/16 12:43] Kali Pizzaro: lol Selby
[2018/08/16 12:43] Sheila Yoshikawa: she aims to understand what they need
[2018/08/16 12:43] Sheila Yoshikawa: and designs something to meet that need
[2018/08/16 12:43] Liriel (quippe.wylder): Sorry, I only know what you do here.
[2018/08/16 12:43] Sheila Yoshikawa: it won’t always involve arts processes
[2018/08/16 12:43] Sheila Yoshikawa: that’s ok!
[2018/08/16 12:43] Maggie Larimore: Liriel Marly’s going to do a session for us in the VWMOOC on her work, it’s coming up on the calendar
[2018/08/16 12:44] Sheila Yoshikawa: So we move on to question 3
[2018/08/16 12:44] Sheila Yoshikawa: What project or teaching would you do in a VW if you had vast resources (e.g. enough to buy computers/access/facilities for learners, not just resources for development)
[2018/08/16 12:44] Liriel (quippe.wylder): Yippee, Maggie.
[2018/08/16 12:44] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:45] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: If I had a lot of money, or if someone like Google would support it, I would like to have a Google avatar.
[2018/08/16 12:45] Sheila Yoshikawa: heike says that would be a nice question for the audience to answer to
[2018/08/16 12:45] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: This Google avatar could walk Google Street View and can use the camera controls to see Google Earth.
[2018/08/16 12:45] AbnormalDead: I agree
[2018/08/16 12:45] Maggie Larimore: cool!
[2018/08/16 12:45] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: This avatar would be able to speak to others whom he/ she meets in the streets, at a pub, in a museum.
[2018/08/16 12:45] Kali Pizzaro: fab
[2018/08/16 12:45] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: It would be able to enter a shop on 5th Ave and buy some clothes.
[2018/08/16 12:45] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:45] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: It would be able to go enter an office building in Tokyo to conduct a business meeting.
[2018/08/16 12:46] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: It would be able to teleport to Italy to attend an Italian class by an Italian teacher in Florence who takes them on tours through the town.
[2018/08/16 12:46] Gann McGann: ooh and if people had an AR app if they were in the RL place they could see your avatar – that would be neat
[2018/08/16 12:46] Zussa Ryba: you can do all that here now… you should explore more…
[2018/08/16 12:46] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: I would also like Google to create a ‘parallel universe’, a parallel earth, one which we can build on. Recreate the cities to become beautiful places.
[2018/08/16 12:46] Maggie Larimore: My husband wants to be able to teleport us to dinner in Paris 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:46] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: Invite city planners to recreate some of the cities all over again. This time without historic restrictions.
[2018/08/16 12:46] Gwen Gwasi: shouts: What do you think, how would this world be like?
[2018/08/16 12:46] Kali Pizzaro: oh
[2018/08/16 12:46] Kali Pizzaro: and no rain for Scotland
[2018/08/16 12:46] Gann McGann: Or maybe a parallel mars we could build on
[2018/08/16 12:47] Marly (marly.milena): @Maggie—oo la la!
[2018/08/16 12:47] Sheila Yoshikawa: lol Kali
[2018/08/16 12:47] Kali Pizzaro: or just a bit
[2018/08/16 12:47] Torgon Woodget: more snow, kali ?
[2018/08/16 12:47] Sheila Yoshikawa: oooh
[2018/08/16 12:47] Kali Pizzaro: ha
[2018/08/16 12:47] Kali Pizzaro: ok so me?
[2018/08/16 12:47] AbnormalDead: so personally I’m living in Monaco but I prefer Hoboken in NJ
[2018/08/16 12:47] Maggie Larimore: oh Kali rain in Scotland brings double rainbows, how about just rain every morning for 30 minutes before the morning commute!
[2018/08/16 12:47] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:47] Zussa Ryba: one day SL will be built by holograms like the worlds in Star Trek…avatars in natural sizes who you could shake hands with- scaring
[2018/08/16 12:47] Kali Pizzaro: sorry I would probably do several. I would repeat the simulation problem based project I did before and I would do research around out of world and inworld restorative health benefits of virtual nature which I hope to put in a proposal soon for. I would also do something around young people’s health literacy created with them
[2018/08/16 12:47] Sheila Yoshikawa: and over to Kali
[2018/08/16 12:47] ThinkererSelby Evans (thinkerer.melville): All the would be a school
[2018/08/16 12:47] ThinkererSelby Evans (thinkerer.melville): world
[2018/08/16 12:47] Sheila Yoshikawa: for her answer
[2018/08/16 12:48] Gann McGann: voice isn’t on, Kali
[2018/08/16 12:48] Maggie Larimore: can’t hear you Kali
[2018/08/16 12:48] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:49] Maggie Larimore: yes
[2018/08/16 12:49] Sheila Yoshikawa: she said she would like to co create with the children
[2018/08/16 12:49] Sheila Yoshikawa: to make it participative
[2018/08/16 12:49] ThinkererSelby Evans (thinkerer.melville): yes -heard
[2018/08/16 12:49] Kali Pizzaro: lovely
[2018/08/16 12:49] Sheila Yoshikawa: and lots more she’d like to do!
[2018/08/16 12:49] Sheila Yoshikawa: thanks!
[2018/08/16 12:50] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: Let me preface this by saying that the most precious resource is time and, unfortunately, that is something there’s just too little of for most people.
[2018/08/16 12:50] Kali Pizzaro: 😉
[2018/08/16 12:50] Sheila Yoshikawa: Sheila agrees
[2018/08/16 12:50] Maggie Larimore: so true
[2018/08/16 12:50] Zussa Ryba: thats true
[2018/08/16 12:50] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: My students or learners have to be sought out, unlike those working in institutions where educators have a built in learning population.
So….
[2018/08/16 12:50] AbnormalDead: and money
[2018/08/16 12:50] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I would hire someone whose full time job it was to scour SL and the web to find matches for the type of programs and trainings we offer (combining arts processes with psychology and education) to advertise my services all over SL and outside through social media and by contacting kindred spirits through their websites, possibly visiting art centers and universities to entice people to try out a virtual world environment.
[2018/08/16 12:51] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I already have a great team consisting of a Program Manager, a Tech Manager, and a Design
Manager who have spent years, months and/or hours in collaboration with me== developing programs, processes and products but they have other fish to fry in their regular lives so, for me, vast resources would mean having additional people with the requisite skills and the time to devote to developing these programs for optimum accessibility and impact.
[2018/08/16 12:51] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: My bonds to my current helpers are deep and abiding so this would be an addition which would also make their jobs easier.
[2018/08/16 12:52] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I would also train a team of educators, social workers, artists, trainers to focus on orienting elders to SL in Councils on Aging on websites across the US and the equivalent in other places with the purpose of eradicating isolation and promoting lifelong learning and creative expression and experimentation.
I would want to support the idea of creative elders as Living Treasures which is much more prevalent in other cultures like Japan but not so much in the US which worships youth…although there have been some hopeful signs in recent years.
[2018/08/16 12:52] Kali Pizzaro: love that
[2018/08/16 12:52] Sheila Yoshikawa: Sheila likes the idea of being a living treasure lol
[2018/08/16 12:52] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I would also create a group of ongoing learners consisting of educators, coaches, and other people professionals interested in experiencing a mixture of personal and professional development using my resources as a Gestalt therapist, multi-artist and organization development trainer and consultant .
[2018/08/16 12:52] AbnormalDead: ok but mind ’bout the sub reality of SL grid, ya know, this “Your World. Your Imagination” realm is nothing more than the exacerbated mirror of reality, and therefore in it the worst and the best of human nature. But beyond gender-based violence issues and other shameless exploitation of perversion, another question arises: whom and why ultimately bear the cost of basic accounts? Without going to the extreme of some conspiracy theory, it is questionable whether Premium memberships alone fund the operating costs and the profit margin. This is not senseless questioning when one takes into consideration the fact that Second life grid is probably the most efficient tool to practice some illegal activities, covert communication and trafficking of all kinds. Sure, away from prying eyes, under the alibi dollhouses where superficial fashion figurines go about their daily fictional lives, meanwhile beneath the surface of substitutes just seems to be some wrong real things happening.
[2018/08/16 12:53] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: would set it up so that each person was able to make use of his or her own expertise as a facilitator over time.
[2018/08/16 12:53] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: We would support each other in experimenting with the processes we practiced ourselves and come back together on a regular basis to report our experiences and learn from each other. I am already planning
to create a training program for a small group interested in learning how to use SymMods in their own arenas.
[2018/08/16 12:53] Maggie Larimore: me too … much better than having your elbow grabbed when you want to walk downstairs or getting the eye roll because you’ve lost yourself are telling yet another story about the 50s …. 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:53] Maggie Larimore: Sheila… on being a living treasure. 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:54] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: Theoretically, I could do all this without vast resources but finding the people takes time, and is made difficult by missing features in the SL Search engine so maybe I would want to start there by having technical wizards create a matrix of cross-referenced searching.
[2018/08/16 12:54] ecoonis – Christian Angel (ecoonis): wow
[2018/08/16 12:54] Maggie Larimore: wow what a cool idea
[2018/08/16 12:54] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: Considering how vast the population of SL is, I am willing to bet there are all sorts of people who would want to participate in our programs, if only we could find them! I value collaborations with people like Liss and Valibrarian as we develop programs and processes that expand the potentials of this world for lifelong learners, for educators, and for regular folks.
[2018/08/16 12:54] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I must confess that I am not all that interested in staying ahead of the technology curve. I have already lived a long life filled with discoveries based on human potential and, at this point, am much more interested in the exploration of creative process with whoever shows up here,
[2018/08/16 12:55] Sheila Yoshikawa: learning about myself and others and different cultures, and practicing arts processes. Second Life is a great playground for that and I have no desire to go where there are not already populations of eager learners wanting to learn, share and collaborate.
[2018/08/16 12:55] Sheila Yoshikawa: Marly: I rest my case!
[2018/08/16 12:55] Maggie Larimore: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:55] Gann McGann: 🙂
[2018/08/16 12:55] Heike Philp (gwen.gwasi): clap clap
[2018/08/16 12:55] Kali Pizzaro: clap clap
[2018/08/16 12:55] Kali Pizzaro: thank you all for coming and listening
[2018/08/16 12:55] Torgon Woodget: *applause*
[2018/08/16 12:55] Zussa Ryba: BRAVO!!
[2018/08/16 12:55] Maggie Larimore: wonderful and insightful comments everybody, just great!
[2018/08/16 12:56] Heike Philp (gwen.gwasi): I would like to post this question to this great audience:
[2018/08/16 12:56] Maggie Larimore: bravo!!!!
[2018/08/16 12:56] Gann McGann: *applause*
[2018/08/16 12:56] Heike Philp (gwen.gwasi): what would you do with tons of money?
[2018/08/16 12:56] ThinkererSelby Evans (thinkerer.melville): Great presentations.
[2018/08/16 12:56] Edward Tarber: great panel discussion
[2018/08/16 12:56] Zo (zotarah.shepherd): Thank you All very interesting answers.
[2018/08/16 12:56] Camie Rembrandt: *applause*
[2018/08/16 12:56] Maggie Larimore: get a staff to help me put my libraries all over the metaverse, and a VWMOOC headquarter
[2018/08/16 12:56] Maggie Larimore: too to get students at other places
[2018/08/16 12:56] Gann McGann: but then the same’s true of RL
[2018/08/16 12:57] Kali Pizzaro: indeed Gann
[2018/08/16 12:57] Sheila Yoshikawa: So we ask you in the audience: What project or teaching would you do in a VW if you had vast resources (e.g. enough to buy computers/access/facilities for learners, not just resources for development)
[2018/08/16 12:57] ecoonis – Christian Angel (ecoonis): wonderful bravo… great presentations
[2018/08/16 12:57] Sheila Yoshikawa: what would you do?
[2018/08/16 12:57] Zussa Ryba: i would build my education and helping sim back again
[2018/08/16 12:57] Dex Euromat: Invent a digitizer machine that brings electronic matter to real life
[2018/08/16 12:57] Sheila Yoshikawa: same as heike or kali or Marly? something different
[2018/08/16 12:57] Zussa Ryba: 350 us dollars a month in tier is just too much
[2018/08/16 12:57] Elli Pinion: Definitely build – offer areas for educators to use for free
[2018/08/16 12:57] Pionia Destiny: bring students to build their own projects
[2018/08/16 12:57] Sheila Yoshikawa: actually I rather like the idea of combining all three visions
[2018/08/16 12:57] Sheila Yoshikawa: 😉
[2018/08/16 12:57] Zo (zotarah.shepherd): I would rebuild my educational sim and expand it for other educators to use
[2018/08/16 12:58] AbnormalDead: voila, c’est la fin du monde même en virtuel
[2018/08/16 12:58] Marly (marly.milena): If anyone present would be interested in being part of my training group later (probably early next year) please let me know and my Program Manager will keep you posted
[2018/08/16 12:58] Sheila Yoshikawa: if I had the money I would give it to you
[2018/08/16 12:58] Gann McGann: i’m interested in linking physical and virtual spaces – making avatars present IRL, physical selves present in SL
[2018/08/16 12:58] LuxTergeste: @Zussa, why don’t you try Opensim? It is much cheaper
[2018/08/16 12:58] Liriel (quippe.wylder): I know a six sim build that I would give the money to save. One person is paying for it now and that’s not fair.
[2018/08/16 12:58] Sheila Yoshikawa: after keeping some for me
[2018/08/16 12:58] Maggie Larimore: I have two libraries, an the VWMOOC Headquarters, I would want to have a staff to help me replicate them all over the metaverse with VWMOOCHQs as well so that we can teach in more places and bring students into different worlds
[2018/08/16 12:58] Elli Pinion: Love that, Sheila!
[2018/08/16 12:58] Zussa Ryba: Opensims – are they here still?
[2018/08/16 12:58] ecoonis – Christian Angel (ecoonis): I would like to collaborate with all of you
[2018/08/16 12:58] Zussa Ryba: i thought they were gone
[2018/08/16 12:58] Torgon Woodget: opensim is still around, and SL came down in prices quite a bit
[2018/08/16 12:58] Sheila Yoshikawa: @Liriel which one is that if you can say?
[2018/08/16 12:58] ThinkererSelby Evans (thinkerer.melville): I would develop and promote web-worlds because the can reach any one who can run a browser
[2018/08/16 12:58] Zussa Ryba: really? Ill investigate ㋡
[2018/08/16 12:58] ecoonis – Christian Angel (ecoonis): in an educational project
[2018/08/16 12:58] AbnormalDead: sear Zussa, my opensin still open for U
[2018/08/16 12:58] Sheila Yoshikawa: also @Gann is that like augmented reality of something different?
[2018/08/16 12:58] AbnormalDead: dear*
[2018/08/16 12:58] LuxTergeste: @ Zussa, I have a safe school region in one, and some of them are thriving
[2018/08/16 12:58] Maggie Larimore: tons of opensims are still there, Zussa and new ones coming online every year, and now web-based worlds as well
[2018/08/16 12:59] Liriel (quippe.wylder): It’s a Tolkein tribute roleplay group called Sheriwood.
[2018/08/16 12:59] Zussa Ryba: please send me an offer.. anyone..
[2018/08/16 12:59] Torgon Woodget: thinkerer: there are… even combined web/client/VR
[2018/08/16 12:59] Zussa Ryba: but the gateways here do a great job
[2018/08/16 12:59] Gann McGann: yes @sheila, blending AR VR, RL, VWs
[2018/08/16 12:59] Sheila Yoshikawa: Selby mentioned webworlds, which I think we’ve had a session on in the VWMOOC?
[2018/08/16 13:00] Sheila Yoshikawa: though obviously Selby himself is involved in webworlds
[2018/08/16 13:00] Dex Euromat: I participate in e-learning project, philosophy and aesthetics lectures in my first language.
[2018/08/16 13:00] Maggie Larimore: I have avatars in Digiworldz, Kitley, EurekaWorld , webworldz and with our course will be getting one somewhere else I forgot (have to look at the schedule), altho my base is here in SL
[2018/08/16 13:00] Gann McGann: i like the idea of stretching what our virtual personas can do, what they can interact with
[2018/08/16 13:00] Dex Euromat: So that would help us make the place bigger
[2018/08/16 13:00] Maggie Larimore: yep we’re having three sessions actually
[2018/08/16 13:00] Dex Euromat: for more people to come

[2018/08/16 13:00] Gann McGann: i think i want to be Gann in places where at the moment i have to be mark
[2018/08/16 13:00] Zussa Ryba: ㋡
[2018/08/16 13:00] Zussa Ryba: youre a true friend of mine, Thinkerer
[2018/08/16 13:00] Sheila Yoshikawa: @Gann that was the advantage of happening to choose to be Sheila in both worlds
[2018/08/16 13:01] Sheila Yoshikawa: lol though I know you don’t mean it exactly that way @Mark
[2018/08/16 13:01] Maggie Larimore: we had Dieter Heyne talk about web-based worlds for education, we’ve got Valibrarian and Yvonne deBandi talking about the development of such worlds here next week with a tour, and then at the end of the course Selby will be back again to talk about webworldz
[2018/08/16 13:01] Kali Pizzaro: Gann let’s talk
[2018/08/16 13:01] Zussa Ryba: but i gave up the OS world

[2018/08/16 13:02] Zo (zotarah.shepherd): I always wonder when roleplay is used in virtual worlds based on works of published fiction if there is any copyright limitations or conflicts.
