Hello all,
Below is the copy of a message that I circulated to the Immersive
Education group shortly after our Education Grid meeting this past Friday. If
you'd like to attend future meetings, or receive notice of them in-world, please
feel free to join the "Immersive Education" Second Life group.
Below are a few screenshots that you can use in your own blogs (courtesy of Tim
Wang and Joanna Robinson):

didn't take a formal count it seemed as if we had between 30 and 40 people
gathered today. Below is a link to the Education Grid page that we reviewed
today, followed by an audio transcript of the entire conversation (in MP3 format):

If someone would like to run the audio file through a speech-to-text converter
so that we have a text transcript as well please let me know; we'll link the
audio transcript (and any text transcript) to the Web page itself for our records.

Today's Education Grid meeting in Second Life - Immersive Education
Friday Feb 01 at 2:30pm EST (11:30am PST / Second Life time)
...............................................................................
As a follow-up to our Education Grid discussions that started at the Summit
we'll have a 1 hour meeting this afternoon (Friday Feb 1st) in Second Life. This
is an informal (ad-hoc) meeting to discuss the first draft requirements of the
Education Grid.
If you'd like to receive meeting announcements in-world (within Second Life)
please join the "Immersive Education" group (search Second Life groups for
"Immersive Education" to join).
Today's meeting will be held in Second Life and is hosted by Sun Microsystems.
For future meetings we'll gather in Wonderland and Croquet as well. During the 1
hour meeting today we'll review and discuss the general requirements for the
Education Grid, which in turn will provide feedback for the requirements draft.
Please join us if you would like to participate in the design of the Education
Grid (or even if you'd just like to know more about this Immersive Education
project). Below is the link to the Sun Microsystems venue where we'll meet,
along with a link to overview slides for the Education Grid. Please note that
when today's meeting starts the slides below will be updated:
