[07:52] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Hey, Olive!

[07:52] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): How R YA

[07:53] OliveTree Lighthouse: hiya :)

[07:53] OliveTree Lighthouse: all good and you?

[07:53] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Doin' okay. Rainy and cooler here in Nashville

[07:53] OliveTree Lighthouse: ah

[07:54] OliveTree Lighthouse: here it's a bit warmer today.. I was hoping for some more cooler days before the blistering summer starts :)

[07:54] OliveTree Lighthouse: btrw

[07:54] OliveTree Lighthouse: btw

[07:54] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Our pattern seems to be hot for a few day then cool for a few

[07:54] OliveTree Lighthouse: if the voice in SL is not very clear and stable these days .. how about using Discord

[07:54] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Pretty much rain every week

[07:54] OliveTree Lighthouse: it's working very well

[07:55] OliveTree Lighthouse: wow nice :)

[07:55] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Discord's a good solution, but you know I kinda like the notion of staying with chat because everyone has it and we then have a good archive--at least until we can start streaming it.

[07:56] OliveTree Lighthouse: ah ok , I'm good with that too

[07:57] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): So today we'll hangout for a few, like until 10 or so after, then select a video and watch it with the countdown timer the cue to hit play.

[07:57] OliveTree Lighthouse: ok

[07:57] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I think we'll grow attendance once things sort out with rl schedules

[07:57] OliveTree Lighthouse: right

[07:58] OliveTree Lighthouse: do you know the tool called vialogue ?

[07:58] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Nope I don't

[07:58] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): will be googling that!

[07:58] OliveTree Lighthouse: it's online not SL and I think it's run by a university

[07:59] OliveTree Lighthouse: very nice

[07:59] OliveTree Lighthouse: it can be a continuation or an expansion of the sessions here

[08:00] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I'll certainly look into that. I appreciate you thinking outside the proverbial box

[08:01] OliveTree Lighthouse: hehehe thanks

[08:01] OliveTree Lighthouse: I love immersion but also like to use whatever tools that can create more participation, deeper thinking etc

[08:02] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Gonna so some spamming, though I like the small audience for these early sessions. If you have any suggestions about how I've set it up as we go, let me know. I added the little agenda to the web page about starting at 10:10 and it's imminently revisable.

[08:03] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I also added a bowling alley and some game tables outside if you ever want to get together with friends for gaming. ㋡

[08:03] OliveTree Lighthouse: hahaha I will definitely try them

[08:04] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I'm going to put this out to my local school teachers for next week. I'm questioning the weekly change of platform, Maybe bi-weekly or monthly.

[08:04] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I'm also thinking VirBELA might be the next platform.

[08:04] OliveTree Lighthouse: is that a VR one?

[08:05] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I've got :05 after the hour. We'll choose in 5. Yes, it's in a viewer but very robust, Unity built. We can get 1000 avies in there at a time.

[08:06] OliveTree Lighthouse: oh wow

[08:06] OliveTree Lighthouse: I've tried ALTspaceVR during the Educators in VR conference

[08:06] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): What do you think? Weekly changes, bi-weekly, or monthly? There is also the option to keep it in SL though I kinda like the added learning provided by changing platforms.

[08:07] OliveTree Lighthouse: hmm bi weekly may be

[08:07] OliveTree Lighthouse: not too often and not too far

[08:08] OliveTree Lighthouse: brb

[08:08] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): K let's start with that. We can also adjust the time if that proves to be a factor. Seems to be a lot of ZOOM meetings in districts in the mornings

[08:08] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): kk

[08:09] OliveTree Lighthouse: back

[08:10] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Sample welcome: Hi everybody (Olivetree, I mean), and welcome. We are about to get started with our video experience here. We encourage robust chat and also ask everyone mute mics for the hour; We are in text.

[08:10] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): We're now gonna select our first video. I'll go to our chooser and click. Or do we have a volunteer!

[08:11] OliveTree Lighthouse: lol

[08:11] OliveTree Lighthouse: ok I'll di it

[08:13] OliveTree Lighthouse: Random Name Picker!

https://youtu.be/r9LelXa3U_I

[08:13] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Once we have the video we'll load it locally and/or in external browsers and pause so we can all start together.
