[08:01] OliveTree Lighthouse: hi everyone :)

[08:01] Lori (lori.galli): hey Olivetree!

[08:01] Lori (lori.galli): hanging in! :D

[08:02] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I'm happy this is on my schedule--gave me a break from staining my fence in the backyard

[08:02] Lori (lori.galli): looks like we are automatically social distancing

[08:02] Lori (lori.galli): ;)

[08:03] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): That is probably a welcome break.

[08:03] Lori (lori.galli): yummmm thanks for the popcorn!

[08:03] POPCORNPOPCORN : ummm, yummy hot buttered popcorn...

[08:03] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Ha there's a full bar up behind us too

[08:04] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Nothing too good for VEN

[08:04] Lori (lori.galli): ohhhh yayyyyyyy!!

[08:04] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): (Oh work hours Lori)

[08:05] Lori (lori.galli): Rofl....true true....but I could have a soda!!

[08:05] Lori (lori.galli): something I don't do in real life anymore LOL

[08:05] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): We'll get started in a few minutes. We usually choose the video a few minutes before 10 after and get started watching at 10 after. And this feels like the good old days because we have eliminated voice--keeps a lot of technical issues off the plate.

[08:06] Lori (lori.galli): yes!

[08:06] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Also, I personally like to set my sun to midnight--more movie theater like, lol

[08:06] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Nice tip

[08:06] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Olive to you know these nice humans?

[08:06] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): do you, not "to" you, ha

[08:07] OliveTree Lighthouse: :)

[08:07] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Ya'll, Olivetree helped out a huge amount during the first week. You can see her silhouette in our little graphic on the screen

[08:07] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): I don't think we have met. I have not met you before either, Nickie

[08:07] OliveTree Lighthouse: I think we must have met during VWBPE or OSCC

[08:07] OliveTree Lighthouse: :)

[08:07] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): That's Spiff dancing

[08:08] OliveTree Lighthouse: lol

[08:08] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): That graphic is great!

[08:08] OliveTree Lighthouse: if you were not there then I'm confusing names :)

[08:08] OliveTree Lighthouse: nice to meet you all :)

[08:09] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Have attended both. Have not been in SL as much as previously. Life takes over.

[08:09] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Okay who wants to use the spinner to pick our video? you click, spin, and copy and paste the title or url into chat. I get the thing set up and we do a 10 second countdown so those in remote browsers can all be at the same place in the video.

[08:09] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): We have a grid in OpenSim that students are using and that takes time away from SL

[08:09] Lori (lori.galli): I have seen you at some events Olive...just never official met. Nice to meet you!

[08:09] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Wow, yes, Lauren, is your district initiative still going strong?

[08:10] OliveTree Lighthouse: ooooh Lauren now I know where we met :)

[08:10] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): We have some strong individuals using it.

[08:10] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Chromebook deployment has been our challenge.

[08:10] OliveTree Lighthouse: the Teaching and Learning in Virtual Worlds in 2012

[08:10] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Yes! Wow. That has been a while :-)

[08:10] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Once we have the movie going any backchat is great. It doesn't have to be about the video, lol. "On task distraction," I call it.

[08:10] OliveTree Lighthouse: yes .. with Jane

[08:11] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Yes!

[08:11] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Jane/Esme?

[08:25] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): This rings soooo true years later

[08:25] OliveTree Lighthouse: luckily we don't have this here. No one every thinks of ADHD or get diagnosed

[08:26] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): All so true!

[08:26] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): The Personalized Learning discussion was just a discussion but frameworks breaks it.

[08:27] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): This artist is brillian

[08:27] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): t

[08:28] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): 80

[08:30] OliveTree Lighthouse: what happened?

[08:30] OliveTree Lighthouse: was that and ad? lol

[08:30] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Let me see if I can get back wehre we were.

[08:30] Lori (lori.galli): was that the end?

[08:30] OliveTree Lighthouse: I think it was done yes

[08:31] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Yup

[08:31] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): This is dated 2010 but is relevant today.

[08:31] Lori (lori.galli): probably about right...was 11 minutes or so

[08:31] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Don't see a change in 10 years.

[08:31] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Nope

[08:31] Lori (lori.galli): yes scary Lauren

[08:32] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): See pockets tyring to change but legislation stops them

[08:32] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Standardization rules

[08:32] OliveTree Lighthouse: I don't think it's only legislation

[08:32] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Yes...many other influences and schools of thought....

[08:32] OliveTree Lighthouse: you need everything to be organized differently

[08:32] OliveTree Lighthouse: teachers to be trained differently

[08:33] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): It takes lots of PD and time to plan for the change.

[08:33] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): This pandemic might force us to think divergently.

[08:33] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Takes change in the schools of education cranking out teachers.

[08:33] OliveTree Lighthouse: families to be ready for a different way of learning

[08:33] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Yes Oliv

[08:33] OliveTree Lighthouse: yes

[08:34] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): It has only been a week but the curriculum I see is teaching trhying to do the same thing but virtually.

[08:34] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Those 7 deadly words: "that's the way we've always done it."

[08:34] OliveTree Lighthouse: Do you think that homeshcoolers have a better chance of succeeding faster?

[08:34] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Because they have been asked to use the same resources by the dept heads.

[08:34] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Yes, Lauren, it's Death by Zoom

[08:35] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I'm afraid that the revolution we are about to get is not the one we need.

[08:35] OliveTree Lighthouse: I don't mind Zoom or any tool at that :) for example

[08:35] Len Millar: we need to change mindsets

[08:35] OliveTree Lighthouse: gamers stream and share their play time

[08:35] OliveTree Lighthouse: but it's what you're suing it for

[08:35] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Well, ya'll want to watch another? Maybe we'll get some levity, ha

[08:36] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Homeschoolers that the dedicated home guidance are running ahead.

[08:36] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Spinning again, brb

[08:36] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): ok

[08:36] OliveTree Lighthouse: ok

[08:36] Lori (lori.galli): ok

[08:36] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): spinninspinningspinning

[08:37] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Zoom and Google Meet are awesome but like any other took need to be used to collaborate. My 3rd Grand daughter says they meet with their teacher beginning of each day and end of each day but they are muted and only listen. No conversation.

[08:37] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Salman Khan: Let’s Use Video to Reinvent Education

-- popping out for the url...

[08:37] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Cool

[08:37] OliveTree Lighthouse: Lauren that's the problem :( the one way mode

[08:38] OliveTree Lighthouse: ok

[08:38] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Same with any tool. ?The chalk board...can the students hold the chalk sometimes?

[08:38] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTFEUsudhfs

[08:45] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): lol

[08:46] OliveTree Lighthouse: :)

[08:46] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I still don't know what Calculus is

[08:46] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): "tried everything, viewed everything, and bought everything..."

[08:46] Lori (lori.galli): me either!! LOL

[08:47] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Guess we don't need it then.....

[08:47] OliveTree Lighthouse: I tried several times but I can't even where I got lol

[08:47] OliveTree Lighthouse: one of the previous videos talked about that Lauren

[08:47] OliveTree Lighthouse: that only few specializations need it

[08:48] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): I never took Chemistry either. LOL Got through my degree the year before it was required.

[08:48] OliveTree Lighthouse: suggesting that statistics is a better subject that touches all fields

[08:48] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Oh I think Chemistry would have killed me

[08:48] Lori (lori.galli): I didn't take Chemistry either...was in advanced Biology and was done...

[08:49] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Made it through Physiology and Anatomy though.

[08:49] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): ㋡

[08:49] Lori (lori.galli): but I actually liked the Biology...had a great teacher and did lots of hands on experiments, etc.

[08:49] Lori (lori.galli): Plus he was cute! ;)

[08:50] Lori (lori.galli): LOLOL

[08:50] OliveTree Lighthouse: lol

[08:50] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): ha at big C stamp on your forehead

[08:51] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Wonder what would happen if I started Calculus at Khan Academy

[08:53] OliveTree Lighthouse: would be interesting if we have a "learn about this" may be as a monthly activity .. for whoever would like to try and a meet at the end ..

[08:53] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Could try it and see. I always need to see purpose in everyday life.

[08:54] OliveTree Lighthouse: just as a fund discovery exploration thing

[08:54] OliveTree Lighthouse: fun*

[08:54] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): hmmm Olive.

[08:55] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): I like that idea. Want to flesh it out and see what it would look like in practice?

[08:56] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): The power of peer to peer tutoring.

[08:57] OliveTree Lighthouse: yes

[08:57] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): globally

[08:58] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Good timing, Sal

[08:58] OliveTree Lighthouse: claps

[08:58] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Hi Johan

[08:58] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): 3 minutes of q and a, are we up for it?

[08:58] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Hi Johan!

[08:59] OliveTree Lighthouse: sure

[08:59] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): We all have tools in place to begin collaboration that could foster peer to peer tutoring.

[08:59] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): haha

[09:00] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Can you start in 2 weeks?

[09:00] OliveTree Lighthouse: :)

[09:00] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): LOL I mean our school district

[09:00] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): All this would work in stayathome if only every child had a working computer or computer device

[09:00] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Yes. There is that.

[09:01] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): our district is largely empoverished and without

[09:01] OliveTree Lighthouse: yes this is unfortunately still a problem

[09:01] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): We provided 1:1 but not hot spots

[09:01] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Chromebooks with no guranteed access point

[09:01] OliveTree Lighthouse: the majority here don't have computers at home and no stable internet

[09:02] OliveTree Lighthouse: done

[09:02] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): That digital equity conversation is meaningless with widespread socioeconomic disparity

[09:02] Lauren Thurman (laural.mccallen): Budget shifts could handle that.

[09:02] OliveTree Lighthouse: now try this if you haven't seen it before

[09:02] OliveTree Lighthouse: http://opensimulator.org/pipermail/opensim-users/2015-March/014311.html

[09:02] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): While schools are closed buses should be stationed as mobile hotspots.

[09:02] OliveTree Lighthouse: true

[09:02] OptoMystic (scottmerrick.oh): Clicking, Olive!
