**Transcript**
[08:54] BuzzEric: Yes. [08:55] MonicaMarlo Martinek: We'll have the meeting in text so that we can keep a log and keep it as accessible as possible, but just wanted to make sure we didn't seem like we were shutting you out if you couldn't hear ;) [08:55] MonicaMarlo Martinek: How goes Sococo? [08:55] BuzzEric: I'm not an avid Second Life user, so I'm figuring things out still. [08:55] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Sure, let us know if you have any questions we can help with [08:55] BuzzEric: Thank you. [08:56] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Paula, are you certified with Elluminate yet? [08:56] MonicaMarlo Martinek: And if not, will you be participating in the OCCDLA training at the end of the month? [08:56] MonicaMarlo Martinek: (wondering if you've heard anything about it or if I should contact Bruce...) [08:57] Ruby Sol: I am certified. [08:57] Ruby Sol: Bruce sent out the dates in December I think for the Jan and Feb trainings. [08:57] BuzzEric: ok [08:57] Ruby Sol: kk [08:59] Ruby Sol: hello wren [08:59] MonicaMarlo Martinek: feel free to chat amongst yourselves while I;m sending email [08:59] Wrenaria Antiesse: good morning :) [08:59] BuzzEric: Oh. I have 9am. [09:00] BuzzEric: No. Eric Smith [09:00] BuzzEric: :P [09:00] BuzzEric: Hello [09:00] BuzzEric: Hello Jonathon [09:01] Wainbrave Bernal: howdy [09:01] Ruby Sol: howdy [09:01] Wrenaria Antiesse: g'morning :D [09:01] Wrenaria Antiesse: bummer [09:02] Ruby Sol: awesome [09:03] Ruby Sol: thank you [09:04] Ruby Sol: hmmm [09:05] Wrenaria Antiesse: anytime between 8-5 is best for me, but I can make evenings work if needed :p [09:05] Ruby Sol: for instructors, they might want some other odd hours at times [09:06] MonicaMarlo Martinek: sure :) [09:06] Ruby Sol: yay! [09:06] Ruby Sol: excellent! [09:07] MonicaMarlo Martinek: :) [09:07] Ruby Sol: bye [09:07] Wrenaria Antiesse: bye [09:07] MonicaMarlo Martinek: *wave( (Note- some of this meeting happened verbally- from 9:01 to 9:07 Jonathon (Wainbrave) had just a few minutes so he presented a quick synopsis of his progress with Immersive Ed. He is putting together our presentation proposal, and asks for the group’s names and affiliations for Immersive Ed grid credentials. Monica to pass to Jonathon.) [09:08] MonicaMarlo Martinek: http://immersiveoregon2010.wikispaces.com/ [09:09] Ruby Sol: I am not finding the agenda [09:10] MonicaMarlo Martinek: http://immersiveoregon2010.wikispaces.com/Minutes [09:10] MonicaMarlo Martinek: here, let me get back into typing now that we're not rushing to get an update from Jonathon [09:11] MonicaMarlo Martinek: It looks like we had some action items, and then the holidays happened, Let's see where we;re at with the list [09:11] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Here's the list: [09:11] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Action Items Create first draft of an evaluation matrix for virtual worlds platforms and our group Create Member Directory for Immersive Ed Oregon Group (Name TBA) Contact WainBrave if you are planning to present in Boston with the Oregon group by Wednesday, November 24th Brainstorm Name for our group on the wiki! (Wainbrave) Schedule next meeting with Doodle for January (Monica to do by 10.12.10) [09:13] Wrenaria Antiesse: jon dorbolo had to duck out for a last minute classroom support thing and will not be joining us today [09:13] Wrenaria Antiesse: unfortunately [09:13] MonicaMarlo Martinek: ok, first item- I think we may need to ask for a working group to tackle the eval matrix once we're a bit more stable. We're still trying to work on things like a name, and it also seems we have a place to land with OpenSim, as well as shared space on VWER grid. [09:13] Ruby Sol: do you think should try tackling the name issue? [09:13] MonicaMarlo Martinek: I think the name thing might have to go to an online poll. [09:14] MonicaMarlo Martinek: So few of us here [09:14] MonicaMarlo Martinek: It's rough getting going again after a long holiday break, I think this slipped people's mind. [09:14] Ruby Sol: maybe we could brainstorm some names to put on the poll there are some suggestions at http://immersiveoregon2010.wikispaces.com/Brainstorming [09:14] Wrenaria Antiesse: yeah [09:14] MonicaMarlo Martinek: :) [09:14] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Let's do it [09:15] Ruby Sol: so are we a northwest group or just oregon or? [09:15] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Good question. I think we 're Oregon centric, but we do have participants outside the state [09:15] Wrenaria Antiesse: I think WA and northern CA is included :) [09:15] MonicaMarlo Martinek: regional this early in the game maybe better than just state? [09:16] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Also nice to look north from OR to Evergreen Isle and Cable Green group's progress [09:16] Ruby Sol: so maybe northwest would be a good word to use in the name [09:16] Ruby Sol: northwest coalition? [09:17] Wrenaria Antiesse: Jonathon suggested Pixel Mountain at one point [09:17] Wrenaria Antiesse: maybe I just like the word "pixel" [09:17] Wrenaria Antiesse: something about it... [09:17] Wrenaria Antiesse: :) [09:17] MonicaMarlo Martinek: I too dig pixel [09:17] Ruby Sol: that would be a good choice to vote on [09:17] Ruby Sol: northwest pixalation [09:18] MonicaMarlo Martinek: collective, hive, tribe.. [09:18] Ruby Sol: northwest pixel hive [09:18] Wrenaria Antiesse: I will add our thoughts to the wiki as we go [09:18] Ruby Sol: northwest pixel tribe [09:18] BuzzEric: Is there an outside identity you want people to get directly from the name? [09:19] Ruby Sol: i am stuck on the geographic as an identity focus [09:19] MonicaMarlo Martinek: I'm thinking the name is more like a team name rather than a company name, but thats just from Jonathon's suggestions so far.. not as a limiting thought. [09:19] BuzzEric: Pixel Hive makes me think it is a collective of graphic designers or 3d designers. [09:20] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Funny we like it Wren ;) [09:20] BuzzEric: Maybe simply Northwest Hive. [09:20] Ruby Sol: good point eric, how about something educational? [09:20] Ruby Sol: northwest pixel education [09:20] Ruby Sol: northwest pixel education tribe [09:20] BuzzEric: That seems closer [09:21] BuzzEric: It seems welcoming to outsiders and collaborators [09:21] Ruby Sol: pixel education tribe PET [09:21] BuzzEric: :) I like that. [09:21] BuzzEric: I like the acronym also... very fun and welcoming. [09:22] Wrenaria Antiesse: hehe [09:22] MonicaMarlo Martinek: NWMET, NWPET, they rhyme [09:22] Ruby Sol: Pixel Education Tribe of the Northwest PET NW [09:22] MonicaMarlo Martinek: NWMET = Northwest Management of Ed. tech [09:23] BuzzEric: :) PET NW [09:23] MonicaMarlo Martinek: learning, instruction, literacy, study, [09:24] MonicaMarlo Martinek: learning experience design [09:24] MonicaMarlo Martinek: universal immersive [09:24] MonicaMarlo Martinek: (just spouting words at this point) [09:25] Ruby Sol: Northwest Education Immersion Tribe NEIT [09:25] Wrenaria Antiesse: pixelated pedagogy [09:25] Wrenaria Antiesse: :p [09:25] Ruby Sol: or andragogy [09:25] BuzzEric: Are there keywords that are used in the Grant Writing for this work? [09:26] Ruby Sol: Pixelated Angragogy Nortwest PAN [09:26] BuzzEric: Identity tags for the funding of this work?? [09:26] MonicaMarlo Martinek: yeah, things like pedagogy and epistemic frameworks. [09:26] MonicaMarlo Martinek: not really tongue rolly ;) (doing scholar.google search) [09:27] BuzzEric: scholar is a good term [09:27] MonicaMarlo Martinek: virtual worlds, immersive, synchronous, social, 3D, [09:27] Ruby Sol: Scholarly Pixels of the Northwest SPAN [09:28] BuzzEric: Virtual Education Northwest (VENW) [09:29] Ruby Sol: Northwest Education Immersion Northwest NEIN [09:29] Ruby Sol: too many Northwests! [09:29] Ruby Sol: EIN [09:30] MonicaMarlo Martinek: cascade? [09:30] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Cascade pixel scholars? [09:30] BuzzEric: EIN makes me think of Employer Identification Number [09:30] Ruby Sol: the cascades dont go south of oregon, do they? [09:30] Ruby Sol: good point eric [09:30] MonicaMarlo Martinek: No, that was a blue Mt. issue too [09:30] MonicaMarlo Martinek: what plate are we on? ;) [09:31] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Juan de Fuca? [09:31] MonicaMarlo Martinek: that doesnt really roll off the tongue either [09:31] BuzzEric: I do recall a California School engaged in this. [09:31] Wrenaria Antiesse: chico [09:32] BuzzEric: UC of Chico [09:32] BuzzEric: Yes [09:32] Ruby Sol: So do we have enough names to send out a poll? [09:32] MonicaMarlo Martinek: its challenging, we're about being virtual, not tied to physical space, yet our humans live out in the physical world, so we try to identify with geography [09:32] Ruby Sol: true monica [09:32] MonicaMarlo Martinek: is that valid? Should we be thinking outside the geo box? [09:32] BuzzEric: Are you connecting with groups in New Zealand? [09:32] Wrenaria Antiesse: i think it should be considered [09:32] MonicaMarlo Martinek: I hope so. [09:33] Ruby Sol: so maybe add a choice under each name without the northwest? [09:33] BuzzEric: How about New Immersive Education (NIE) [09:33] Wrenaria Antiesse: i mean jonathon isnt in the NW but he's a big part of this group [09:33] Wrenaria Antiesse: he may work for UO but isnt physically here [09:33] MonicaMarlo Martinek: I think we're multinational minded, so in some way maybe the geography moniker is warranted/necessary- if we're physical global rooted, do we end up sifting over time due to proximity or by ideology? [09:33] BuzzEric: Immersive Ed 2.0 [09:34] Ruby Sol: is montana the nw? [09:34] BuzzEric: Just outside NW [09:35] BuzzEric: different times zone [09:36] Ruby Sol: so is there something we can do for an evaluation matrix? I don't remember where we were with that piece. [09:36] MonicaMarlo Martinek: commonalities- avatars, pixels, scholarship, research, pedagogy/andragogy, scripting, pixels, network, 3D, [09:36] Ruby Sol: Pixelated Avatar Scholars [09:36] Ruby Sol: PAS [09:37] MonicaMarlo Martinek: The eval matrix is meant to help us select a long term home. The thing we can do is start a Google spreadsheet and start listing virtual world options down one axis, and collect our eval questions across another... [09:37] Ruby Sol: or is home where someone just gave us an island? :) [09:37] MonicaMarlo Martinek: so far, indeed. [09:38] MonicaMarlo Martinek: We're not saying we're beggars, but I don't think we look gift pixels in the mouth... [09:38] Ruby Sol: :) [09:39] MonicaMarlo Martinek: So it sounds like Jonathon has Boston under control, and I have a spreadsheet with everyone's email/name/avatar/affiliation I can open up to the group, serving Jonathon's purpose for getting us all credentials with Immersive Ed Grid [09:39] MonicaMarlo Martinek: as well as the "create member directory for the group action item [09:39] Ruby Sol: thank you monica, you rock [09:40] MonicaMarlo Martinek: I'll only open it up to members, I'm not sure we've discussed public or private yet, that should be group addressed [09:40] Wrenaria Antiesse: sounds good [09:40] MonicaMarlo Martinek: We are the avatar education rock stars :) (fakin it till we make it!) hehe [09:41] Wrenaria Antiesse: hehe [09:41] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Ruby, do you want to tackle getting the matrix started with me offline [09:41] MonicaMarlo Martinek: and who will start a poll for our name? [09:42] Ruby Sol: k [09:42] Wrenaria Antiesse: I can figure that out [09:42] Wrenaria Antiesse: :) [09:42] Ruby Sol: thanks wren [09:42] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Awesome, thank you! [09:43] MonicaMarlo Martinek: I think we've pretty much touched on everything on the list. I'll send out the next meeting Doodle (and hopefully get more avatars to show up after winter term's beginnings quiet down) [09:43] BuzzEric: :) [09:43] Ruby Sol: well done! [09:44] Wrenaria Antiesse: maybe a reminder email a few days before the next meeting would help too [09:44] MonicaMarlo Martinek: For the action items list for next time I have - name poll - public vsprivate list of members question - pass email list to Jonathon for Immersive Ed - Email reminder a few days before next meetup [09:44] MonicaMarlo Martinek: -build matrix in GDocs, open to group [09:45] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Anything else I should add? [09:45] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Oh, and of course Doodle poll for next meeting [09:46] Wrenaria Antiesse: I think that covers it [09:46] BuzzEric: That's all I've seen so far/ [09:46] MonicaMarlo Martinek: Alright, well, very nice seeing your pixels, hope all is well in Beaver nation and Sococo land- Paula, We've got another meeting in 10 [09:47] MonicaMarlo Martinek: THANK YOU guys for showing up :) [09:47] Ruby Sol: good to see you all [09:47] BuzzEric: Your welcome. have a great day. till next time.
