Plan+of+Attack!

WE'RE SCHEDULED!!! The program will be released online in mid-Februrary, but checking the presenter page this week shows us locked in at Tuesday 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. We couldn't ask for better scheduling! The advanced users' 3 hour (currently co-presented by John, Cathy, and Marianne Malmstrom (Knowclue) is the next day at the same time! One quick wikispaces tip: type four tildes after a block of text and it'll put the time of your edit after your post, like this:1233228795

Congrats Scotto! Now then - how about some suggestions for a plan of attack - Whole class? Cycle through "centers" LOL? Seriously - Pre-service mentoring? (Sorry - had a lot of sleep last night!) Not sure I'm ready for a plan of attack. I think there's value in the center concept but we need to keep in mind the 30 participants will be stationary, either at their own laptops (which I'm going to encourage, or on the Macs in the lab) irl though that doesn't mean they can't cycle thru stations set up inworld. Maybe a mix of the two. Whatever we decide, we must remember that 3 hours goes by like a sharp intake of breath and we need to build in a bathroom break (lesson from last year lol)1233229241 T-Shirts - I'll make them - freebie noobie gear - got tons of decent stuff.

Jeff must bring a flying pig for everyone!

How noob is noob? I assume we need to: get people off OI, walk/run/fly/land, click/pie/camera-zoom/camera-rotate, sit/stand, dressup, text/im, friend/profile, noooo-notvoice/scratch/hiss/shattereardrums, meet up, search/group, prof dev/networking/fun!, give out sl names/adopt a noob, send them on their way. -jane/esme Jane I love this list, thanks for getting us started. What more? Well, I'm thinking this'll be learner-driven after the first session of stuff driven by a list like you've shared. A trip to a sandbox for building would be beneficial. More list: Take/delete buy buy Lindens Let's go shopping Live Music in SL pushing, muting, other security strategies n00b in my lexicon is near-to-none experience. This'll be a hoot, or woot, as the case may be, you all know!1233229241

Nope! No need to even go near OI if we use the ISTE portal! AND we can register people ON THE SPOT - no limit to the IP address! https://secure-web14.secondlife.com/join/ISTE/  FYI -I thought I'd do that at CUE but ISTE did not show up on the list of possible communitie s -something to investigate ,LL1236999603

3-25-09 I will not be able to be in DC other than via avatar or skype so I am not certain what you want my role to be Scott... I wouldn't want to add to any confusion that noobs are experiencing because i will be SLing from my kitchen in Montana...i could teach how to operate a flying vehicle since each of the noobs will be given a pig as soon as I meet them...Right Click and choose fly...@@@@####&&&&...okay...I give up...what's a friggin tilde? It's a character that in math indicates "about this quantity" and is typed by holding down the right shift-key and tapping the key in the upper left of your keyboard just below the escape key. It looks like this: **~** and if you type four of them in a row, like I'm about to do, at the end of a post, when you save it'll sign your post for you, kinda neat...Here goes: 1237989470
