 * __COMINGS AND GOINGS__**


 * __MEETING OUTCOMES/ ACTIONS__**
 * **First**: Group to research where to get some space, cheaply (Scorp trying to find some $$ - was that the rum speaking? Sam doing some research)
 * **Build**: Find a space and start learning by building, **to develop our own capability**, not to rely on other people/ experts. Document and capture this learning in order to capture possibilities, thinking outside the square learning
 * **Create & Present**: An interactive Treasure hunt of learning, an excursion, a tour… to engage teachers and demystify 3D Worlds (see chat points below) and sharing team learning


 * __MAIN POINTS__**
 * New things happening in SL all the time, even though it has already been explored by some groups, it is the most popular platform and we should be working and developing capability in places that our students are in, so we would like to learn more skills in that world
 * Group members have different needs, group outcomes should be developed that can be achievable in any virtual world
 * Group findings to be pulled together in LearnScope wikispace
 * General feeling that TAFE is stunting our growth, stopping us being innovative and creative and developing professionally and staying at the forefront of technology
 * Aware of personal investment of time to explore and be on the edge, willing to spend time if we can be innovative and explore and learn as PD
 * Get GIPPS TAFE as guest (Jo and Sean too) to talk about their experience, issues, how far they have been able to take their learning, what do we want to learn from them?


 * __GROUP WANTS__**
 * **Geon Nasu**: I'd like to know how to set up environments (screens) with access to vids etc...streaming some of those basic how-tos...lots of the building and scripting needs to be done by ourselves...in in-world sessions
 * **Spinner Mills**: How do I create a teaching environment (or lesson) in a Virtual World and then facilitate a session in there, or take students through spaces that already exist, discuss privacy, behavioural issues, etc
 * **Scorp Rau**: What about looking at basic tools and how you can gather them together in a space to use with students. Create a model that can be copied freely and teachers can add to and modify
 * **Spinner Mills**: A Lesson in a Virtual World, an excursion, some assessment guidelines - to think about developing a teaching/ facilitating, excursion/ tour in SL
 * **Scorp Rau**: Build a cool learning space that we can share freely, that teachers can modify and build on, have excursions

[[file:key points_140807.doc]]See Attached Doc with excerpts from the chat transcript, featuring detail bout key topics above

 * Really innovative, creative, inspiring chat - thinking outside the square!
 * Transcript is really worth the read as it documents the wants and needs of the bulk of this leadership group.

 * Date:** Tuesday 17th July
 * Venue:** Second Life [|ABC Island Sandbox]

David and myself (Georgina) caught up in-world and decided to explore building. My experience is that SL offers a lot more creativity with regard building/scripting/textures than other virtual environments where objects and environments are more prescribed. David (CG) created an edifice with water and column features..I've (Geon) been exploring scripting and made a sculpture that changed colour... early days for both began creating! Lectures begin next week for some..can we decide on a time to meet?
