[17:12] You: I'm always asking Desi for her opinion [17:12] Desideria Stockton: lol [17:12] Desideria Stockton: what courses? [17:12] Alex Asylum: I"m teaching two courses, one is a composition course in a learning community. the other is a course called "writing in the digital age" [17:12] Desideria Stockton: I teach comp too [17:12] Desideria Stockton: is this for this semestdr? [17:13] Alex Asylum: yes I've just got my students into SL this week. [17:13] Desideria Stockton: my students are here too this week [17:13] Desideria Stockton: composition [17:13] Desideria Stockton: do you have a link to your syllabus? [17:14] Alex Asylum: yes, I don't know if there's a way to give you a link but the URL is http://digital-living.pbwiki.com [17:14] Desideria Stockton: k [17:14] Alex Asylum: do you have a link for your course? [17:15] You: I'd just like to note - I've spent weeks working on my build....and we're standing in an empty sandbox :) [17:15] Desideria Stockton: lol [17:16] You: *sigh* [17:16] Alex Asylum: it is an interesting observation [17:16] Desideria Stockton: what assignments do students need to complete for you to meet course objectives? [17:17] Alex Asylum: in comp they are writing three papers between 1200-1600 words to meet program requirements. [17:18] Alex Asylum: but the course is in a learning community so I am working with profs who are doing video production and digital photography so that makes things a little unusual [17:18] Desideria Stockton: lol [17:18] Desideria Stockton: i teach in our DMP program also [17:18] Desideria Stockton: lol [17:18] Alex Asylum: yeah folks look at us a little strange [17:19] Desideria Stockton: lets all sit [17:19] Desideria Stockton: ok, let me think a bit [17:21] Desideria Stockton: You are very welcome to have your students join ou project [17:21] Alex Asylum accepted your inventory offer. [17:21] Desideria Stockton: we are starting Sept 28 [17:21] Desideria Stockton accepted your inventory offer. [17:21] You: Formatting on that may be a little wacky on that [17:22] You: hehe [17:22] You: I need coffee... [17:22] Alex Asylum: what do you have planned? [17:24] Alex Asylum: I find the idea of the students working with others at a distance appealing [17:26] DrJohn Lane is Online [17:27] Desideria Stockton: sorry, my mother is on the phone lol [17:27] Desideria Stockton: i am trying to get her to hang up, lol [17:27] Desideria Stockton: I do have some ideas to shae [17:27] Desideria Stockton: here are my sites [17:27] Desideria Stockton: http://collegeenglish.wikispaces.com/ritterguthclasses [17:27] Alex Asylum: thanks, take your time [17:31] Desideria Stockton: ok sorry [17:31] DrJohn Lane is Offline [17:31] Desideria Stockton: do you have a research requirement? [17:31] Alex Asylum: no problem, so it's the intro to poetry course that is in SL? [17:31] Desideria Stockton: or do you wan them to do research in here? [17:31] Desideria Stockton: all of my courses are linked into SL [17:32] Alex Asylum: ok, yes I'm thinking they can do some research here though there isn't a formal research requirement [17:32] Desideria Stockton: or do you wn them to write a narrative [17:32] Desideria Stockton: I guess the first task is to figure out the end result [17:32] Desideria Stockton: and work backwards [17:32] Desideria Stockton: that is what i do [17:33] Alex Asylum: that makes sense. In the comp class, the focus is more on analysis and argument--conventional academic writing stuff but pre-research paper, which is the next semester. [17:33] Alex Asylum: the other course is more open and I can see them doing creative nonfiction or more magazine-like essay prose [17:34] Alex Asylum: in both classes we are kinda focusing on the possibilities of cooperation and collaboration through networks, so I could see exploring that here, but that's still a rather abstract task put in those terms [17:35] Desideria Stockton: ok [17:35] Desideria Stockton: do you want over reaching taks or daily things? [17:36] Alex Asylum: well I'm thinking in larger terms but whatever you want to offer is welcome. [17:36] Desideria Stockton: you could set up challenges [17:37] Desideria Stockton: or have them set up communties and have them create a code of conduct and ymbols that represent their ieal culture [17:37] Alex Asylum: I like both of those ideas. [17:37] Desideria Stockton: that is what we are doing with the international group [17:37] Desideria Stockton: and you are very welcome to particpate [17:37] Alex Asylum: that would be fantastic [17:38] Alex Asylum: how can I get involved? [17:39] Desideria Stockton: basically, you can join in if you want - let me tp the other coordinator and we can tell you more about it [17:40] Alex Asylum: that would be great, then I could figure out how to incorporate it into my class [17:40] You: Maybe we could move the meetings to a more meeting friendly place :) [17:40] Desideria Stockton: Hi elmo! [17:40] You: hi there Elmo! [17:40] Elmo Wilder: HELLO [17:40] Cortland Barbosa is Offline [17:40] Alex Asylum: hello [17:40] Desideria Stockton: Elmo, this is Alex - he is interested in perhaps partnering his students int othe World Univiersity Exchange [17:40] Desideria Stockton: he is also a comp teacher [17:40] Elmo Wilder: great! [17:41] Desideria Stockton: professor [17:41] Alex Asylum: yes very interested [17:41] Desideria Stockton: and his students are in the same time zone as mine [17:41] Desideria Stockton: EST, right? [17:41] Alex Asylum: yep [17:41] Desideria Stockton: In act, Alex and I live pretty near one another - he is in NY and I am in PA [17:41] Desideria Stockton: the idea is to have students from all over the world [17:41] Desideria Stockton: Elmo is bringing students from Japan [17:41] Desideria Stockton: and I think we have students coming from Kprea [17:42] Desideria Stockton: sorry Korea [17:42] Elmo Wilder: yes [17:42] Desideria Stockton: and we are still waiting to hear from some other countries [17:42] Desideria Stockton: and we are splitting them into plots of 6 [17:42] Desideria Stockton: students from every country [17:42] Elmo Wilder: Also, I think the architecture students from Canada & France will join [17:42] Desideria Stockton: they have to create a culture between Sept 28 and Dec 1 [17:42] Alex Asylum: that sounds great [17:43] Desideria Stockton: so, each week we have challenges where they can win prizes (like on survivor) [17:43] Desideria Stockton: and my students have to write a paper on the experience [17:43] Desideria Stockton: expository [17:43] Desideria Stockton: their first paper was "What is an American" [17:43] Alex Asylum: I could certainly build an assignment out of that experience [17:44] Desideria Stockton: the second paper will address the questions "What are the responsiblities of a global citizen? [17:44] Desideria Stockton: sorry, my typing is awful [17:44] Elmo Wilder: I updated the wiki with my students` assignments [17:44] Desideria Stockton: excellent [17:44] Desideria Stockton: can you paste the wiki address here for Alex? [17:44] Desideria Stockton: if i go to my browser, SL will crash [17:45] Desideria Stockton: Elmos's students are learning to speak and communicate in English [17:45] Elmo Wilder: http://worlduniversityexchange.wikispaces.com [17:45] Desideria Stockton: real [17:45] Desideria Stockton: and our students might have different taks in rel life [17:45] Desideria Stockton: but, in SL they will work together to create a community [17:45] Desideria Stockton: with standards [17:46] Alex Asylum: thanks, that's great. [17:46] Desideria Stockton: and other things they believe should make up a culture [17:46] Desideria Stockton: all I need from both of you, I think is a list of student names [17:46] Desideria Stockton: and from the professor in Korea [17:46] Desideria Stockton: so, we can start creating groups [17:46] Elmo Wilder: the architecture students can build out the plots according the students needs [17:46] Desideria Stockton: oh, good idea [17:47] Alex Asylum: sounds good. my students are still getting online but I should have all their avatar names in the next week or so. [17:47] Desideria Stockton: excellent [17:47] Desideria Stockton: now, Alex [17:47] Desideria Stockton: we can have our students meet up [17:47] Elmo Wilder: Should I tell Pierre from Quebec that his architecture students are welcome? [17:47] Desideria Stockton: when do you have class? [17:47] Desideria Stockton: oh yes, Elmo [17:48] Desideria Stockton: please do [17:48] Desideria Stockton: we can assign one architect to each group [17:48] Desideria Stockton: or two [17:48] Elmo Wilder: OK. I wanted your approval first [17:48] Desideria Stockton: lol [17:48] Desideria Stockton: oh sure, the more the merrier [17:48] Alex Asylum: My comp class meets Tues/Thur 2:50-4:05. My other course is totally online. [17:48] Desideria Stockton: my class meets T/R 12:30-1:45 [17:48] Desideria Stockton: lol [17:48] Elmo Wilder: they will have 12 groups of Canadian/FRench teams [17:48] Desideria Stockton: and my others are online [17:49] Desideria Stockton: excellent [17:49] Alex Asylum: hmmm.... well we could try to arrange a few ad hoc times [17:49] Desideria Stockton: that will be so much fun [17:49] Desideria Stockton: yes [17:50] Alex Asylum: I think my students will be excited by this. I don't think any of them had heard of SL before this semester. [17:50] Elmo Wilder: I think we need to use the wiki to coordinate everything. This is getting pretty big [17:50] Desideria Stockton: yes [17:50] Alex Asylum: That makes sense [17:50] Desideria Stockton: that is a good idea [17:51] Desideria Stockton: I will add my students in on Tuesday [17:51] Elmo Wilder: Alex-when u get a chance could u input your basic class info in the wiki [17:51] You: Would everyone like a transcript of this chat to help coordinate? [17:51] Alex Asylum: no problem [17:51] Desideria Stockton: yes, that would rock [17:52] You: I'll log everything once we're ready to wrap up [17:52] Elmo Wilder: the WUE educator page has my and Korea@s info now [17:52] Desideria Stockton: Alex, can you take a look at the assignments and let us know what you would like to tweak? they are still in development stage :-) [17:52] Desideria Stockton: we take all forms of postive goodness [17:52] Alex Asylum: sure... thanks. [17:52] Elmo Wilder: KGU Students page has my assignments [17:53] Desideria Stockton: excellent, and I will link over my assignments [17:53] Alex Asylum: yes I have my courses on pbwiki so I can link over there as well [17:53] Desideria Stockton: perfect [17:53] Elmo Wilder: THe SL group assignments are still wide open [17:53] Desideria Stockton: maybe our students could do some peer editing, Alex? [17:53] Desideria Stockton: using google Docs? [17:53] Alex Asylum: that sounds like a good idea [17:53] Alex Asylum: yes google docs should work Desideria Stockton: Elmo, can you invite Alex to the WUE group? [17:54] Desideria Stockton: and Sauyer? [17:55] You: :) [17:56] Desideria Stockton: my students will be blogging through the whole thing, too [17:56] Desideria Stockton: using Blogger [17:56] Elmo Wilder: done. I was doing it when u IMd me [17:56] Desideria Stockton: Do you want to have them Blog, too? [17:56] Alex Asylum: yes I've got some students who are doing personal blogs, in the Writing in the Digital Age course [17:57] Alex Asylum: The comp students are participating in a course blog [17:57] Desideria Stockton: ok :-) [17:57] Desideria Stockton: we can link [17:57] Alex Asylum: sounds good. [17:57] Elmo Wilder: did u 2 get the invite? [17:57] Alex Asylum: yes thanks [17:57] You: I did too [17:58] Desideria Stockton: When is your presentation in Tokyo? [17:58] Elmo Wilder: nov 24 [17:58] Alex Asylum: r u presenting on SL? [17:58] Elmo Wilder: yes [17:58] Elmo Wilder: lets hope i have something interesting to say :) [17:59] Alex Asylum: I'm sure you'll come up with something. SL seems like a no brainer for international education like this [17:59] Desideria Stockton: lol, you will :-) [17:59] Desideria Stockton: lets trouble shoot potential problems [17:59] Desideria Stockton: is Bryan participating? [17:59] Elmo Wilder: Maybe. WE need to chat [18:00] Elmo Wilder: he hasnt committed yet [18:00] Elmo Wilder: but IMd that he wants to talk [18:01] Desideria Stockton: is he on? [18:01] Elmo Wilder: no [18:01] Alex Asylum: so we are looking at potentially six faculty in this project? [18:01] Elmo Wilder: 7 [18:01] Desideria Stockton: lol [18:01] Desideria Stockton: the more the merrier [18:01] Elmo Wilder: hope we dont crash sims [18:02] Elmo Wilder: how many students u have Alex? [18:02] Desideria Stockton: that is why we have them srepad out over 4 [18:02] Desideria Stockton: or is it 5? [18:02] Elmo Wilder: 5 [18:02] Alex Asylum: well I have 35 or so, but 24 are in an online course [18:02] Desideria Stockton: so, we should be ok (corsses fingers) [18:03] Desideria Stockton: I have 24 comps [18:03] Elmo Wilder: For the 28th I think we shouldnt plan on your students meeting mine during class. Im worried about a bad start. I cant predict the first day. [18:04] Alex Asylum: what time would that be? [18:04] Desideria Stockton: ok - I wil llet them knowwhich date should we have our first full out meeting? [18:05] Desideria Stockton: sorry, lol [18:05] Desideria Stockton: that is translated as...should we have a full group meeting with them? [18:05] Desideria Stockton: or just connect them through email? [18:05] Desideria Stockton: or on the wiki/ [18:05] Elmo Wilder: well. I think the wiki is best for now. [18:06] Desideria Stockton: ok, so our best bet is to list them teams by avatar name [18:06] Elmo Wilder: I will do my best to have the up and going on the 28th but...who knows [18:06] Desideria Stockton: create groups under WUE with the team member names [18:06] Desideria Stockton: and let them try to meet on their own [18:06] Desideria Stockton: unti lwe can get a group together [18:06] Desideria Stockton: does that sound doable? [18:06] Elmo Wilder: yes. Im going through Fred to generate bulf avatar names [18:06] Elmo Wilder: bulk [18:06] Desideria Stockton: Fred Fuchs? [18:06] Alex Asylum: that makes sense [18:06] Desideria Stockton: he is great [18:06] Elmo Wilder: yep [18:07] Elmo Wilder: I@ll have their e-mails, avatars, everything set up before Fri 28 [18:07] Elmo Wilder: just need to get them in-world [18:07] Desideria Stockton: excellent [18:07] Desideria Stockton: ok [18:07] Alex Asylum: sounds like a good start [18:08] Desideria Stockton: do you want my student assistant to help you? [18:08] Desideria Stockton: her name is Daliah Carter [18:08] Desideria Stockton: she can help them get hair and shape and clothes [18:08] Elmo Wilder: Sounds great [18:09] Desideria Stockton: I will tell her to be around the time you need her [18:09] Desideria Stockton: and if you need her you can teleport her [18:09] Desideria Stockton: if not, no owrries [18:09] Desideria Stockton: worries [18:09] Elmo Wilder: awesome [18:09] Desideria Stockton: and I will crate a fancy chart to get us started in grouping the students [18:09] Alex Asylum: great [18:10] Elmo Wilder: cool. a teleport panel would help too [18:10] You: a teleport panel? [18:10] Desideria Stockton: oh, excllent idea [18:10] Desideria Stockton: we need to have a central location, I think, too [18:10] Elmo Wilder: touch the panel and u teleport to the various plots used [18:11] Desideria Stockton: and then we can duplicate that panel on each of the plots [18:11] Elmo Wilder: yes [18:11] Alex Asylum: do you have a plot where all this is going to take place? [18:11] Elmo Wilder: LIt alive for central loc? [18:11] Desideria Stockton: ok, I think Marcius has a little mroe land he can lend us [18:11] Desideria Stockton: lol [18:11] Desideria Stockton: yes [18:11] Desideria Stockton: 5 so far [18:12] Elmo Wilder: Im going to create a total of 27 groups of 3 [18:12] Desideria Stockton: ok great [18:12] Desideria Stockton: and I will add mine in [18:12] Desideria Stockton: and Alex, if you send me your names [18:13] Desideria Stockton: and Elmo, can you get the Canadian and Korean names? [18:13] Elmo Wilder: and French--OK [18:13] Desideria Stockton: oh yes, and French :-) [18:13] Alex Asylum: so we would be looking for our students to start getting together in early October? [18:14] Desideria Stockton: yes, though we can meet up our students before that, Alex, if you want [18:14] Desideria Stockton: mine came in today [18:14] Alex Asylum: that might be a good idea [18:14] Desideria Stockton: we could send them on tasks [18:14] Desideria Stockton: lol [18:14] Elmo Wilder: I will do my best to have them available by the end of Sept [18:14] Desideria Stockton: like shopping [18:15] Desideria Stockton: and then when elmo and the others are ready we can get all together [18:15] Desideria Stockton: elmo, can we try to set up a meeting with everyone? [18:15] Alex Asylum: that sounds good to me [18:15] Desideria Stockton: I mean the professors [18:15] Elmo Wilder: time zones prob make it impossible [18:15] Elmo Wilder: i think we need to coordinate thru the wiki [18:16] Elmo Wilder: we could try though [18:16] Desideria Stockton: I am willing to stay up late or get up early [18:16] Elmo Wilder: Jap, KOrea, usa,can, france [18:16] Desideria Stockton: or [18:16] Alex Asylum: as am I [18:16] Elmo Wilder: ok lets try then [18:17] Elmo Wilder: I`ll send out a request [18:17] Elmo Wilder: any particular day? [18:18] Elmo Wilder: Oh. how about the Camtasia crew? [18:18] You: ?? [18:18] Desideria Stockton: yes, my other students will be in from Digitial Media [18:18] Desideria Stockton: and Professional Presentations [18:18] Desideria Stockton: doing interviews and promotionals and a radio show [18:18] Elmo Wilder: MACHINAIMA [18:19] You: I did all the podcasts that you see on the podcast viewers on this island with Camtasia [18:19] Desideria Stockton: I also use Camtasia [18:19] You: I put together a bunch of video tutorials (screen captures) on second life [18:20] You: we have a webct with the videos, plus text tutorials, links to articles, etc [18:20] Desideria Stockton: but htose students aren't assigned to plots [18:20] Alex Asylum: her tutorials are good. [18:20] You: thanks :) [18:20] Elmo Wilder: Great. I was thinking that the Machinima students could kind of document the exchange. No? [18:21] Desideria Stockton: sory, yes [18:21] Elmo Wilder: Will someone be able to create some kinda of machinima form the exch? [18:21] Desideria Stockton: alan Partridge's students [18:21] Elmo Wilder: right [18:21] Desideria Stockton: I need to connect with him [18:22] Elmo Wilder: ok [18:22] Alex Asylum: that could be very useful [18:22] Elmo Wilder: it would certainly be great in Tokyo [18:22] Elmo Wilder: and as future advertising for this kind of exch [18:22] Desideria Stockton: excellent [18:23] Alex Asylum: if you are thinking of doing research out of this do you want to think about permissions? [18:23] Elmo Wilder: please explain? [18:24] Alex Asylum: If you were at a US college you would probably need to deal with a college research board and get approved for human subjects research [18:24] Alex Asylum: it kinda depends on what you want to do [18:25] Elmo Wilder: right. for my research I dont need that [18:25] Alex Asylum: ok [18:25] Elmo Wilder: at least not in Japan [18:25] Alex Asylum: it's one of those things that has come up in my field, rhetoric/composition, over whether this kind of thing fits into that category or not [18:25] Desideria Stockton: ne sec [18:26] Desideria Stockton: sorryy [18:26] Desideria Stockton: my son was here [18:26] Desideria Stockton: ok [18:26] Elmo Wilder: I`m study language, not people so I think I`m clear [18:26] Desideria Stockton: So, maybe we should start an email around to all the faculty [18:27] Desideria Stockton: including Bryan [18:27] Desideria Stockton: and give a deadline for participation [18:27] Desideria Stockton: maybe Tuesday? [18:27] Desideria Stockton: I will do one last shout out on SLed [18:27] Desideria Stockton: and to the others who expressed initial intereste [18:27] Elmo Wilder: Ok. I dont have all the emails though [18:27] Alex Asylum: mine is reida@cortland.edu [18:28] Desideria Stockton: do you have Koreas? [18:28] Elmo Wilder: yes-and canada [18:28] Desideria Stockton: yes [18:28] Elmo Wilder: but not Machinima group [18:28] Desideria Stockton: then I will forward it on to Alan, and get that going [18:28] Desideria Stockton: oh, let me grab it for you [18:29] Elmo Wilder: ok. Ill send it out to who i have and then u can forward to the rest [18:30] Elmo Wilder: I divided my land into 8 plots + 1 more on Infoisland. So its ready to go [18:30] Elmo Wilder: about 1000sq m per group [18:31] Desideria Stockton: here is Alan the Machinima guy [18:31] Desideria Stockton: allen.partridge@iup.edu [18:31] Elmo Wilder: thx [18:31] Desideria Stockton: do you have Bryan? [18:31] Elmo Wilder: y [18:32] Desideria Stockton: ok - [18:32] Elmo Wilder: I will have my students introduce themselves on the wiki immediately so that the exch can start on the 28th [18:32] Desideria Stockton: excellent [18:32] Desideria Stockton: and I will do the same [18:32] Alex Asylum: great. I'll let my students know as well. [18:33] Desideria Stockton: awesome [18:33] Desideria Stockton: ok, I promised my neice i would get her in here [18:34] Elmo Wilder: I think all of the teachers should be made organizers of the wiki so that they can invite their students to join. Unless there is another way [18:34] Desideria Stockton: sorry, this is my neice [18:34] Desideria Stockton: she was just born [18:34] Desideria Stockton: like 13 seconds afgo [18:34] Alex Asylum: hello [18:34] Elmo Wilder: HELLO Neveah!

[18:48] Desideria Stockton: we figured that we might need one central location where the "trachers" live [18:48] Desideria Stockton: teachers [18:48] Marcius Dowding: i could arrange some... [18:48] Marcius Dowding: for the global project? [18:48] Desideria Stockton: yes [18:48] Desideria Stockton: we have a lot of faculty working otgether [18:49] Marcius Dowding: they need "dorms"? [18:49] Desideria Stockton: and it might be good to have a palce where students can leave messages for all of us [18:49] Alex Asylum: I was looking at the assignments for the first week [18:49] Alex Asylum: are we planning on mixing students from each nation into each group? [18:49] Desideria Stockton: yes [18:50] Desideria Stockton: the goal is to have each country represented [18:50] Desideria Stockton: as best as possible [18:50] Desideria Stockton: so, since the Korean group has less [18:50] Elmo Wilder: this is PEcot (Pierre) from Canada [18:50] Desideria Stockton: not all groups will have Korean students [18:50] Desideria Stockton: Hi Pierre!

[18:50] Roderick Stransky: Hi [18:50] Desideria Stockton: have a seat [18:50] Alex Asylum: I like that idea, but I'm wondering about that task of working out a time when they can all meet... hi Pierre [18:50] pecot Laval: Hi all [18:51] Desideria Stockton: I know that my students are happy to meet the others [18:51] Marcius Dowding: greetings pierre [18:51] Desideria Stockton: Roderick, do you feel comfortable speaking on behalf of the DeSales students? [18:51] Elmo Wilder: I think we should post"office hours" when we will generally be available in SL dor the project [18:51] Roderick Stransky: Absolutely [18:51] Desideria Stockton: do you have a sense of what they are interested indoing? [18:51] Desideria Stockton: our major challenge is time zone [18:52] Roderick Stransky: We were wondering the same... [18:52] Alex Asylum: What time is it in Japan now Elmo? [18:52] Roderick Stransky: if we were assigned certain people... then it might be easier to organize a time [18:52] Elmo Wilder: 10:52am [18:52] Marcius Dowding: does this project have an official name [18:52] Desideria Stockton: lol [18:52] Desideria Stockton: yes, Marcius, and a wiki :-) [18:52] Elmo Wilder: World UNiversity Exchange in SL [18:53] Alex Asylum: and it's what five/six hours later in France than here in NY [18:53] Desideria Stockton: http://worlduniversityexchange.wikispaces.com [18:53] You: Don't look at me - the best I can come up with is stuff like 'SLuny'!

[18:57] Desideria Stockton: should each group try to work out times? [18:57] Roderick Stransky: yes [18:57] Roderick Stransky: that's what I was getting at earlier [18:57] Alex Asylum: I'm willing to give it a shot. [18:58] Roderick Stransky: Gold star. [18:58] Desideria Stockton: what happens if you have a hard time connecting with another participatn? [18:58] Desideria Stockton: lol, yes - you get a gold star [18:58] Desideria Stockton: hound me for it Tuesday [18:58] Elmo Wilder: LIke us, perhaps the students can dedicate time "in-world" when they will usually be available [18:58] Desideria Stockton: ok, good suggestion [18:58] pecot Laval: godo idea .. [18:58] Desideria Stockton: like "office hours" [18:59] Desideria Stockton: good idea [18:59] Elmo Wilder: they can input their availability in the team page [18:59] Alex Asylum: Yes that's good. Perhaps they could establish as one of their rules some guidelines for "office hours" [18:59] Elmo Wilder: on the wiki [18:59] Elmo Wilder: yes [18:59] Marcius Dowding: brb [18:59] Desideria Stockton: excellent idea [19:00] pecot Laval: q: how ur team (students) are framed up ?

[19:19] Desideria Stockton: there are six students in a team [19:19] Desideria Stockton: we could assign so many architecture students to a plot of land [19:19] pecot Laval: yes that s a good suggestion [19:19] Desideria Stockton: and they could work with all the teams on that plot [19:19] Desideria Stockton: would that work?
