05:32JoseliaI'm back!

05:32NinaLiakosIn my very same time zone!

05:32PinarHi all!

05:32MaizieI'm still at school for another 1/2 hour I hope you'll all be around still!

05:32NinaLiakosNo idea

05:32ElizabethHSWe sit and look out the window at the cold water--don't dare go out.

05:32NinaLiakosI would imagine so

05:32JaneYes, I'm on the Gulf Coast and it feels like Canada

05:33FaithHello everyone,

05:33NinaLiakosIt's chilly here in the middle too

05:33MaizieWe are warm and sunny here

05:33ElizabethHSNext week will be more "normal"--this is the usual "Christmas effect" with a vengeance!

05:33NinaLiakosHello Faith

05:33FaithI am Faith in South Korea.

05:33JaneWhere are you, Maizie

05:33PinarIt's a sunny day in Turkey,too

05:33FaithHello Nina.

05:34NinaLiakosHi Anastasia

05:34PinarHi Anastasia

05:34Heike Philp EVO VLT@Jane, can you check your skype real quick?

05:34ElizabethHSWhat part of S. Korea, Faith? I was in Seoul a couple of years ago in November, and it feels like here in FL!

05:34MaizieWow we really are global

05:34Anastasia AnzhiganovaHi, Nina!

05:34FaithI'm Jeollanam-do.

05:35cbsiskinhi all

05:35ElizabethHSHi Faither

05:35FaithI live in Suncheon City. I can only type today.

05:35NatashaIs Sanja somewhere here?

05:35ElizabethHSI can barely hear you, Vance

05:37MaizieI am experiencing a LOT of lag

05:37Maizie...and keep on losing connection

05:37ElizabethHSI tried calling on Skype, but no luck--hope you didn't hear the ring??

05:38NinaLiakosno we didn't

05:38MaizieAre you in both rooms Nina?

05:38NinaLiakosNo, just this one

05:38NinaLiakosI got chucked out of the other one

05:39MaizieMe too ...and we were among the first there!

05:40NinaLiakosYes, something odd there

05:40NinaLiakosbut I guess it gave others a chance to join

05:40MaizieI can't hear anything anyway....

05:40NinaLiakosre: Elizabeth, yes after a while you start recognizing people's voices

05:41NinaLiakosNo? Try refreshing or logging out and in again

05:41MaizieI'll rejoin when I get home in 1/2 hour

05:41ElizabethHSMaybe, Nina, it's just first in, first out? B-)

05:41MaizieHahahah

05:42NinaLiakoslol

05:42diz@ ElizabethHS: It's tough having the same name as YOU (from ean****enoble)

05:42MaizieI think I can hear something very faint!

05:42NinaLiakosHi Eliz.Anne

05:42ElizabethHSWe can still hear, Heike

05:42NinaLiakosTry turning up volume on the screen and headset

05:43NinaLiakosHeike Philp is talking about virtual language travel

05:43MaizieYes I thought I recognized her voice

05:43EurominutemanSynchronize Your Facebook Account With Second Life

http://second-life-tool-ranking.ning.com/forum/top…

05:43dizBut if the same people fill up both chat boxes ???

05:43diz(that was Hi Nina

05:44ElizabethHSThis is the first year we have really had to make an effort to distinguish "newbie" sessions from more advanced/experienced teachers. We have a BIG audience!

05:44NinaLiakosHello james

05:44EurominutemanEvent Capability Maturity is required for Newbies

05:44Teresahello

05:44NinaLiakosThat could be a problem

05:44ElizabethHSWe can hear well, Jane

05:44Eurominuteman@nina hi there

05:44NinaLiakosYou can just click on the Pause

05:45jefflebowhello Teresa in chat room 2

05:45NinaLiakosHi tere!

05:45ElizabethHSTere, are you there?

05:45NinaLiakosJeff, a lot of people are in both chatrooms

05:45Teresayes,sorry. First time user

05:45NinaLiakosCould this result in people getting thrown out of this room as well?

05:45diz@Eurominuteman: Event Capability Maturity ???... got that... then you're not a newbie

05:45jefflebowOH, Nina, this Jeff, is really Cheryl Oakes, sorry, he asked me to monitor the rooms

05:46NinaLiakosYou aren't Teresa Vaz?

05:46JLas long as the second one doesn't fill up , we should be oK

05:46NinaLiakosYou can pass on that concern to him then Cheryl

05:46TeresaNo, i'm not

05:46jefflebowok

05:46NinaLiakosYes but if it does?

05:46Eurominutemansecond life is 35 times under par compared to youtube, so out-world newbies are in dire need for SL sustainability

05:46dizI didn't have to log in again to come here

05:46NinaLiakosOnce one is kicked out one cannot communicate and ask for help

05:46ElizabethHSyes, yes

05:46JLthen you're in charge of yelling at people and telling them to leave :)

05:47jefflebowTell others to go to webheadsinaction.org/live and leave a message there

05:47Eurominutemantoo many chiefs, not enough indians

05:47NinaLiakoslots of Indians too

05:47NinaLiakosI see Claire

05:48Eurominutemannot sustainable in comparison to youtube who attract venture capitalists

05:48NinaLiakosWhat a difference from 4 years ago, now I recognize so many people

05:48EurominutemanSL is 35 times under par for venture capitalists

05:48jefflebowreally, cheryloakes, and yes ninaliakos i feel the same way

05:48ElizabethHSThat's another increasingly important feature of EVO: We find we are communicating with each other's sessions more often, and more effectively.

05:49ElizabethHSThe Moderators group has become a community of practice.

05:49ElizabethHSJames--you are off topic--please don't distract.

05:50Eurominutemanthe sustainability question is not off-topic

05:50Eurominutemanwe all want sustainability

05:50NinaLiakosin the ecological or economic sense, James?

05:50NinaLiakosI agree about ecological

05:50Eurominutemanin numbers

05:50Eurominutemanof users

05:51Eurominuteman50,000 continuous SL online doesnt attract anyone

05:51ElizabethHSThanks Jane and Heike!

05:51EurominutemanFarmville in Facebook is 20 million

05:52ElizabethHSThis is much better, Vance

05:52NinaLiakosHi vance!

05:52Eurominutemanin a shorter time

05:52EurominutemanFacebook and SL need more connect

05:53Emilleyi'm new here, so i have got some doubts. I have busy schedule for certain days. What if I could barely make it to the online discussion or conference session? would i still be allowed to stay in the program?

05:53NinaLiakosOf course, Emilley

05:53EurominutemanSynchronize Your Facebook Account With Second Life

http://second-life-tool-ranking.ning.com/forum/top…

05:53NinaLiakosDon't worry! Here we all do what we can

05:53NinaLiakosNo one is 100% here

05:53Emilleythanks nina

05:53Eurominutemanthis is in dire need for SL sustainability

05:53NinaLiakosWe have jobs, we have families

05:54ElizabethHSEmily, you will find that live sessions are often

05:54Emilleybecause there are some days that i would be out for more than 12 hours a day..

05:54NinaLiakosMost synchronous events are recorded and can be listened to later if you want to

05:54NinaLiakosnp

05:54Emilleyi'm studying and working at the same time..

05:54ElizabethHS"repeats" -- they won't be exactly the same, but will have similar topics, so there is usually one you can find

05:54NinaLiakosIt will be challenging to keep up but it always is

05:54Emilleythanks elizabeth

05:54diz@ Emilley t that's the great thing about EVO - you do what yuo can, when you can

05:54Emilley:)

05:55Teresawhy synchronize SL with facebook?

05:55NinaLiakosTeresa where are you?

05:55Eurominutemanto gain users for SL

05:55Emilleythank you so much everyone, i will make sure that i constantly check the yahoo group for updates :)

05:55ElizabethHSAnd of course listening to the recording later will keep you up to date

05:55JLhttp://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=tTt8F5ucogITyHmRdJt2-lg&output=html

05:55TeresaI'm sort of lost here. I'm just listening and trying to keep up

05:56EurominutemanSL is 35 times under par compared to youtube, Farmville in Facebook grew faster using a Facebook connect

05:56NinaLiakosI mean, what country, Teresa?

05:56guest841221@ NinaLiakos how much experience do you need to participate in multiliteraces session?

05:56TeresaPortugal

05:56NinaLiakosNot too much

05:56Natashathx

05:56NinaLiakosI am not in the call vance

05:56ElizabethHSNIna--can you Skype or MagicJack in?

05:57NinaLiakosEveryone will be experiencing new tools

05:57JLwill skype you in now Nina

05:57NinaLiakosok

05:57NinaLiakosnina_liakos

05:57ElizabethHSguest84--I am enjoying the struggle with several different technologies--finding my way around Ning and SL right now, but multilit has lots of live help sessions too.

05:58Eurominutemansilly Farmville in Facebook outpaced SL by far in a shorter time

05:58ElizabethHSSo if you have general familiarity with various types of Web 2.0 interfaces, you can follow along pretty well.

05:59ElizabethHSI think it is not a session for people who are just getting used to email lists and who don't like or fear technology. If you like to experiment, it will be fun.

05:59ElizabethHSJennifer--that is the real EVO spirit!

06:01ElizabethHSTurn it up a little, Tere!

06:01Teresathere's a teresa just listening

06:01ElizabethHSThat's nice and clear, Tere!

06:02JaneAmazing Tere

06:02ElizabethHSAmazing variety, Tere, and probably not unusual for EVO!

06:03ElizabethHSWe had participants from every continent, and over 100 countries last year.

06:04Sus NyHello from Denmark!

06:04NinaLiakosHi Sus!

06:04JaneExcellent point Jeff and Tere (always a webhead sleeping, always a webhead awake)...and always someone to answer questions!

06:04ElizabethHSHi Sus--nice to "see" you here!

06:04Eurominutemancheck the query for Farmville and Second Life http://quintura.com/?request=farmville+second+life&lng=en&r1=from&r2=browser

06:04JaneHello Sus!

06:05EurominutemanFarmville sustainability on Facebook is nonsense in comparison

06:07jamesinparishi all from Paris

06:07Nataly59Hi, Teresa and everybody! Unfortunately my NET is so slow, I can get just pieces of your speech...Is it possible for me to participate in this training without live sessions?

06:07ElizabethHSHello James in Paris. Thanks for joining us.

06:08ElizabethHSNatalya--I think you'll find when there are fewer people in a session you won't have much of a problem.

06:08NinaLiakosThat was me disappearing from the Skype chat, Dennis

06:08PinarHi James

06:08ElizabethHSBut you can also listen to the recording later.

06:08dizHi James - I met you at Jennifers conf at TESOL-France :)

06:08ElizabethHSIt's more fun to talk, but you can keep up with the training that way.

06:09jamesinparishi diz

06:09jamesinpariswhat workshop are you in diz?

06:09ChaoukiHello from Tunisia

06:09NinaLiakosWelcome, Chaouki!

06:09ElizabethHSThanks, Dennis--that was lovely to hear your voice.

06:09ChaoukiThanks Nina

06:10ChaoukiAre you Nina my friend on Fb?

06:10Nataly59Thank you, Elizabeth! Where can I find the recording of this conference? i am so upset! I hear a nice English speech!

06:10NinaLiakosI'm not sure! I have a lot of webhead types on my friends list

06:10EurominutemanTroubleshooting Instructor

http://second-life-tool-ranking.ning.com/photo/tro…

06:10vickysaumellHi, It's Vicky Saumell from Argentina... Sorry I'm late

06:10ElizabethHSThe recording will be posted to all the EVO groups after we are finished.

06:10NinaLiakosHi Vicki! Welcome!

06:11mishmash1001Hello from Russia! It's pretty interesting to listen to your friendly chat. It's a bit difficult to focus as too much information.

06:11Nataly59Thanks again!

06:11ElizabethHSHi Vicky--no problem. We are just informally discussing various sessions. You can listen tothe whole recording later.

06:11NinaLiakosYes, mishmash, hard to listen and text chat even for native English speakers

06:11MaizieI've just got back from school

06:11vickysaumellThanks!

06:12NinaLiakosYou have a short commute!

06:12dizmishmash1001:" It's a bit difficult to focus as too much information" - there's a useful paper by Vance that I'd love to find for you.

06:12NinaLiakosClicking the Pause button worked for me

06:12ElizabethHSYou might want to open a tab or new page with the CfP that links to the sessions. Then you can read the description as the speaker talks.

http://evosessions.pbworks.com/Call_for_Participat…

06:12mishmash1001Not at all. The point is that you have much in common and similar experience.

06:12NinaLiakosYes, some of the chat is personal

06:13NinaLiakosIf you stuick around, mishmash, you will get to know a lot of people

06:13NinaLiakosstick around

06:13NinaLiakosThat is what happened to me

06:13ElizabethHSMishmash--I think you will get used to the chaos very quickly.

06:13mishmash1001That's my point.

06:13NinaLiakosIn 2006 I was in your position

06:13NinaLiakosIt was really confusing!

06:14MaizieWhat's the skype number?

06:14ElizabethHSPlease give the name of the group!

06:14NinaLiakosSusan: What is the name of the session?

06:14NinaLiakosthx

06:14NinaLiakosSmart Teaching/interactive white boards

06:15ElizabethHSThanks, Nina--you are quicker than I!

06:15NinaLiakosblushes

06:15ElizabethHSDescribe a whiteboard, please

06:15NinaLiakosWho is speaking please?

06:16dizWhiteboard = expensive big monitor on wall

06:16dizwith toutscreen function

06:16dizcan also be made cheaply - wii remote control and video projector

06:16dizsee TED on the subject

06:16jamesinparisand software that lets you create interactive multimedia class sessions integrating the web, audio, video and the traditional chalkboard

06:17ElizabethHSThat was Graham Stanley, I believe--being modest, as usual!

06:17jamesinparisand record everything for other uses

06:17ElizabethHSThanks, diz!

06:18NinaLiakosThanks I knew I recognized the voice

06:18mishmash1001To Nataly59 My pleasure.

06:18Eurominutemanhow about making those 2st century skills CV-valid

06:18Heike Philp EVO VLTthis was Graham Davies actually, Elizabeth

06:18ElizabethHSSorry--I mixed up the names!!

06:18Cris Costahi

06:18NinaLiakosThanks Heike

06:18ElizabethHSMiami was a great convention, wasn't it?!

06:19NinaLiakosHi Cris, welcome to our chatroom!

06:19Heike Philp EVO VLThi Cristina!

06:19ElizabethHSCan't hear

06:19Cris Costahi guys - just lurking this year but seeing that EVO is doing amazing stuff as usual

06:20Cris Costagreat stuff

06:20cbsiskinit was 1986

06:20JaneHi Cris!

06:20VyaraHi everybody!

06:20FaithHello Elizabeth, where are you from?

06:20NinaLiakosHello Vyara, where are you?

06:20ElizabethHSI'm based in California, but currently in FL for 2 mos.

06:20NinaLiakos2 months?!?

06:20Eurominutemanthere is a validity problem for informal training if you want to enter those 21st century skills into your CV

06:20ElizabethHSMy homepage:

06:21ElizabethHSMy tech blog:

06:21ElizabethHSI'm a Webhead and on the EVO Coordination Team

06:21ElizabethHSNina--yes we try to escape the cold!

06:21ElizabethHSAnd it's caught up with us.

06:21ElizabethHSHi Aiden!

06:22Eurominutemanhow does EVO want to adapt its policy for CV-validity

06:23NinaLiakosCalifornia cold?

06:23dizFor an IWB alternative, see

06:24NinaLiakosHi Mbarek!

06:24ElizabethHSMbarek--hello!

06:24EurominutemanWhat Your 21st Century CV Needs & Requires

http://adult-learning.ning.com/forum/topics/what-y…

06:24ElizabethHSWhich blogs are you using?

06:25Cris CostaHi jane

06:25Cris Costasounds like a great session

06:25Cris CostaBaWrocks. Webheads are the best. Have I ever said that :D

06:25NinaLiakosOn occasion, perhaps :-)

06:25VyaraHi Heike!

06:26ElizabethHSBaW is really a great place to get started with all kinds of new technologies.

06:26NinaLiakosIt's where I started and I have never regretted it

06:26NinaLiakosI think 145 is too many actually

06:26mishmash1001That sounds good.

06:26ElizabethHSI think it often has gone over 200

06:26NinaLiakosYes but not everyone is active

06:27dizFortunately they take repeater

06:27NinaLiakosYes, I was in it 3 times

06:27dizPeople repeating the year again and again

06:27ElizabethHSIt's hard to believe that Daf was also a newcomer once upon a time.

06:27NinaLiakosIt's very addictive

06:27Cris Costahear hear Daf

06:27Cris Costaindeed Nina

06:27ElizabethHSI can't imagine EVO without Dafne!

06:27NinaLiakosme either

06:27mishmash1001Hi Dafne! Thank you for your support in everything!

06:28ElizabethHSOne strong tradition in EVO is to give back--once you have participataed, it is hard to resist becoming a co-moderator or a helper in some form.

06:29mishmash1001I think it's a pattern to follow.

06:30ElizabethHSAnd we hope people will start their own session in following years.

06:31mishmash1001It depends on their self-motivation and smartness with technologies.

06:31dizOh dear - I missed the name of the speaker

06:32JaneWell done, Daniela!

06:32manizhehhi everybody/ greetings from Malaysia

06:32ElizabethHSImages4 Education has been really popular. I have been trying to archive some of their tools and project at the EVO Video Archives:

06:34Eurominutemanit ain't your mom's pedagogy

06:34ElizabethHSCan you give us an idea of what kinds of games are at the Xenos site?

06:35dizElizabethHS (video archive) - that's great - I was able to "box it" - live

06:35dizthaks

06:35ElizabethHSWhat does "box it" mean, diz?

06:36ElizabethHSHello Sandra

06:36ElizabethHSPlease tell us more about Internet 4 Young Learners

06:37ElizabethHSpreK = pre-kindergarten

06:37dizSimplybox - a visulal alternative to delicious or digg - it's changed my life

06:37dizWell - my on-line life:)

06:39FaithWho is speaking right now?

06:40mishmash1001I think it's very good stuff on Drama. Thanks

06:41mishmash1001I mean a lot to read and a variety of activities.

06:41FaithI think so too. I am participating in the drama workshop.

06:42mishmash1001I agree with the participant as it's a good opportunity for students to express themselves in Russia as well.

06:42ElizabethHSdiz-- I tried it and liked SimplyBox, but found the organizational capabilities of Diigo were better. I am using it for the CALL IS Virtual Software List

http://www.diigo.com/user/CALL_IS_VSL

06:43ElizabethHSSome sessions are using TappedIn (a text chat based site), some use LearningTimes/Elluminate, some WiZiQ, etc.

06:44ElizabethHSYes--each session will tell in their announcement where the live meeting will take place

06:44mishmash1001Do all the participants take part in live sessions orally or only in a written form?

06:45ElizabethHSI think "amazing" is the term used most frequently to describe the EVO sessions.

06:45jamesinparisIWB session here

06:45diza must for EFL drama : http://kenwilsonelt.wordpress.com/

06:45manizhehactually i have not got experience in teaching children/ i think using drama would be much beneficial and practical for children rather than adults

06:45ElizabethHSmishmash -- "all" is really not what happens, as people are volunteers, are working, have real lives, etc.

06:45ElizabethHSWe try to plan live sessions for different times, and using different sites/capabilities.

06:46EurominutemanLearning performers, your needs & requirements can make it happen

06:46dizmishmash1001: in the sessions, it's usually the participants who talk

06:46jamesinparisI'd just say a big thank you to all the people sharing their experience with us!

06:46FaithI teach conversational classes at a university in South Korea and drama is very useful for university students, who are technically adult learners.

06:47ElizabethHSManizheh--I have used drama for years in teaching ESL/EFL and English literature classes. It is a great motivator for EFL students!

06:47EurominutemanEmbrace Your Power as Learning Performer Can Make It Happen > Needs & Requirements

06:47ElizabethHSI would strongly recommend drama in its many forms for adult learnjers. After all, what is role-play if not drama? Or doing a dialgoue in class, etc., whether improvised or memorized.

06:48manizhehdear faith would u pls explain the way u use it for adults/tanx

06:48NinaLiakosWhat a great question!!!

06:48NinaLiakosWebheads are able to call on other webheads for help and advice

06:49NinaLiakosand the other half are wannabes haha

06:49mishmash1001It's a good joke about Webheads

06:49manizhehshall we consider role -playing as sort of drama?

06:49ElizabethHSI would ask my adult learners to create a short drama based on what we were reading (in a literature class), or to demonstrate a certain situation (in an EFL class). I also would always try to videotape the lesson so that the whole class could critique it.

06:49ElizabethHSThis is esp. good for learning commonly used expressions and cultural features of language.

06:49ElizabethHSYes, role-playing is drama.

06:50dizThe song, the song ...

06:50NinaLiakosWebheads is a community of lifelong learners!

06:50ElizabethHSBaW is a step to become a Webhead

06:50ElizabethHSActually, we have a calendar on our wiki.

06:50NinaLiakosOur mlit calendar includes some other sessions' synchronous meetings

06:51ElizabethHSBut we haven't filled in the events yet.

06:51NinaLiakosan aggravated calendar... I like that!

06:51ElizabethHSWe have to get the Moderators to put in their events--and publicize it.

06:51Mariana google calendar would be nice

06:51jamesinparisgreat idea!

06:51FaithRole playing is done a lot in my classes. But, activities like charades are useful.

06:51NinaLiakosYes, a google calendar is good

06:52manizhehtanx for helpful replies

06:53MaizieIf you're not in a certain course can you join anothers events?

06:53ElizabethHS 

http://evo-training.pbworks.com/overview

06:53NinaLiakosYes, maizie, usually I assume it is fine to do that

06:53NinaLiakosunless there is a problem of everyone fitting in

06:53MaizieYou don't have to sign up to that course?

06:54NinaLiakosI think I would always check with the mods to make sure but cannot imagine anyone saying no

06:54Valentinathanks! nice that calendar has RSS too!

06:54MaizieThanks

06:54jamesinparisgood idea!

06:54MaizieWhat about posting it on the EVO wiki

06:55NinaLiakosGoogle calendars aggregate

06:55ValentinaGoogle calendars?

06:55Marianyou can embed google calendar to any website

06:55NinaLiakosDo you have a google account, Valentina?

06:58NinaLiakosAt least it isn't 6 weeks of synchronous events!

06:58MaizieOh my! Nina....

06:59ElizabethHSI've always felt the name "Webheads" was a little too cool for the general world....

06:59NinaLiakosI am remembering WiAOC, which was 3 days of almost nonstop synchronous stuff

06:59NinaLiakosWonderful but exhausting

06:59JLskype 'worldbridges' to join the call

07:00NinaLiakosVance: in learning and friendship

07:00diz@ElizabethHS: I've always felt the name "Webheads" was a little too cool for the general world.... The existing world - yes - -but for tomorrow's world ?

07:01NinaLiakosPeople kind of chuckle when I talk about webheads...reminds them of deadheads I guess

07:01Anitha Devi VNina why deadheads?

07:02NinaLiakosfrom the band the Grateful Dead

07:02NinaLiakosPeople who followed the band were known as deadheads

07:02dizTime for lunch :( GREAT start .... Thanks to all :)

07:05MaizieI can read but don't understands

07:05NinaLiakosIt's like Mensch

07:05mishmash1001You Knoe Russian is pretty challenging.

07:06NinaLiakosI know firsthand, having studied it in college

07:06MaizieMy 2nd grade class are 95% Russian speakers

07:06NinaLiakosa very complicated language!

07:06NinaLiakosWow, how about the other 5 percent?

07:06MaizieHebrew speakers

07:06NinaLiakosVery beautiful

07:07mishmash1001In which country so many Russians?

07:07MaizieIsrael

07:08mishmash1001For it's not easy to judge abour Russian as English is challenging as well especially colloqual one.

07:08NinaLiakosEvery language is challenging to its learners

07:09mishmash1001Hello France!

07:09NinaLiakosI believe Arabic and Japanese are extremely difficult to learn

07:09MaizieThese kids nare dealing with 3 languages

07:09NinaLiakosRussian, Hebrew, English

07:09NinaLiakosI think they are at a good age to handle multiple languages

07:09MaizieI tried to learn Arabic once......didn't work
