[08:51] Brena Benoir: Yay Gentle!
[08:51] Kavon Zenovka: and we will have them as long as we get volunteers who can review and coordinatre in those languages

[09:14] nathanmaton: Ok, now about 4see
[09:14] Coughran Mayo: /me loves Jane McGonigal
[09:14] nathanmaton: Take a second to place yourself back in your high school and college experience
[09:14] Glitteractica Cookie: who doesn’t??! Everyone does
[09:15] nathanmaton: Remember a group project you worked on in a club or class?
[09:15] nathanmaton: Was there one person doing 90% of the work?
[09:15] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): usually me
[09:15] Coughran Mayo: me
[09:15] Red (talkwithmarie): hmm yes
[09:15] nathanmaton: Did anyone have a clue what their role on a project was or did you all overlap?
[09:15] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): lol
[09:15] Coughran Mayo: lol
[09:15] nathanmaton: Raise your hand if you can recall a class like that. Now raise your hand if you were the one doing the 90% of the work.
[09:15] Hour Destiny: For some reason, I think of Buffy Beale whenever www.gameful.org comes to my attention. 🙂
[09:15] Brique Topaz – Feed a Smile (brique.topaz): ¬∞Õú¬∞ hmmm guess who…
[09:15] Red (talkwithmarie): 98%
[09:15] nathanmaton: hah
[09:15] nathanmaton: 98% :0
[09:16] nathanmaton: We’re making a game to help youth learn team work
[09:16] nathanmaton: There’ve been some amazing examples from game based learning scenarios
[09:16] nathanmaton: by Lee Scheldon (Multiplayer Classroom) and Roger Travis (Pratomime) where the game scenario greatly helped the team work and role separation.
[09:16] nathanmaton: As I’m sure many of you already know!
[09:16] nathanmaton: How many of you have researched team work in virtual words?
[09:17] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): /me raises hand
[09:17] Buffy Beale: lol Hour yes I was very active on Gameful when it started up 🙂
[09:17] Gentle Heron: /me raises BOTH hands
[09:17] nathanmaton: Now let’s turn to what we’re hoping to use this game for.
[09:17] nathanmaton: Raise your hand if your non-profit helps better a local community near you.
[09:17] Sister Abeyante: /me raises hand
[09:18] Buffy Beale: raises hand
[09:18] nathanmaton: how many of you started doing something similar when you were a teenager?
[09:18] nathanmaton: There’s strong research showing that our societal values are formed heavily in our teenage years
[09:18] Hour Destiny: I help a nonprofit that helps the local community.
[09:18] Sister Abeyante: yes
[09:18] Veri Oddfellow: *raises hand*
[09:18] nathanmaton: and that success at a moment when we do something abnormal and work on a project to change our community is pivotal in shaping our values to include civics.
[09:18] nathanmaton: We work with a small non-profit in DC that runs these trainings.
[09:18] nathanmaton: Learn Serve International
[09:18] nathanmaton: They don’t have the capacity to track each team after their program ends.
[09:19] nathanmaton: One group had a young woman from an incarcerated family want to help other kids like her make it through school.
[09:19] nathanmaton: She started a scholarship fund but her partner and her just couldn’t work well together.
[09:19] nathanmaton: 3 years later she’s still struggling towards her goal but needs the team building training as her organization is her and adult advisors who don’t have the time to pitch in what she needs.
[09:19] nathanmaton: We’ve heard dozens of examples like this
[09:20] nathanmaton: So we did some research and found there’s some amazing methodologies out there for teaching these team skills
[09:20] nathanmaton: The one we’ve selected
[09:20] nathanmaton: researched by Marshall Ganz and Ruth Wageman at harvard and talked to Marshall about our project (he architected Obama’s organizing strategy in 2008).
[09:20] nathanmaton: It includes 5 core tenants:
[09:20] nathanmaton: 1) Find diverse team members
[09:20] nathanmaton: 2) Find a common purpose
[09:20] nathanmaton: 3) Clear Boundaries
[09:20] nathanmaton: 4) Clear Roles
[09:20] nathanmaton: 5) Explicit norms
[09:21] nathanmaton: We’re building two game modes to teach these skills
[09:21] nathanmaton: In single player the focus is around two of the five main components of working well as a team:
[09:21] nathanmaton: 1) Have diverse team members and
[09:21] nathanmaton: and finding a common purpose
[09:21] nathanmaton: The players will be given problems and have to meet potential team mates and decide which ones to choose.
[09:21] nathanmaton: They’ll learn a lot more about the players after picking when we show their personalities in addition to their pitches
[09:22] nathanmaton: Then we also are building a multiplayer mode for the other 3
[09:22] nathanmaton: The multiplayer mode will work with 4-12 people and they’ll be put into fictional scenarios and have to solve some problem.
[09:22] nathanmaton: The first scenario we’ve built out is around changing a food policy in a school and we’ve been talking to students, teachers, non-profit professionals and school administrators to build it out.
[09:22] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): very cool
[09:22] nathanmaton: In these scenarios the teams will be trying to get high scores, finishing it faster and with more complete results.
[09:23] Buffy Beale: that’s fantastic
[09:23] nathanmaton: Each scenario will have multiple levels of increasing complexity and will require more and more complex roles.
[09:23] Veri Oddfellow: /applause
[09:23] nathanmaton: For example, in the most basic scenario the person who is the coordinator won’t be able to move but will be able to talk with each of the other players via chat.
[09:23] nathanmaton: and so on…
[09:23] nathanmaton: We’re pretty stoked to be doing this
[09:23] nathanmaton: we’ve got a lot of educators jazzed about the idea
[09:24] nathanmaton: and are running a Kickstarter campaign to help us focus on this project
[09:24] nathanmaton: We need to reach more teachers and educators and non-profits like you to make it happen
[09:24] Veri Oddfellow: Would it be good to send you funding opportunities, too, Nathan?
[09:25] nathanmaton: We’re asking for your support to help us get the word out if this sounds up your alley
[09:25] nathanmaton: And other funding opportunities are definitely great veri 🙂
[09:25] nathanmaton: Aside from creating more employees for you in the future, what’s in it for you now?
[09:25] Hour Destiny: Any interest in doing a SimNonprofit game?
[09:25] nathanmaton: We’re considering doing custom scenarios based off of non-profit’s real work.
[09:25] nathanmaton: and yes hour destiny we’ve been talking to a few folks on second life about a sim nonprofit game
[09:26] nathanmaton: So if this is up your alley please let me know
[09:26] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): (hmmm a game about the process of establishing a non-profit?)
[09:26] Hour Destiny: It is. Been planning to mindmap such a thing.
[09:26] nathanmaton: and if you have suggestions, feedback etc please reachout to me here or on twitter or via email
[09:26] Sister Abeyante: If a nonprofit wanted to contract with you for design of a game, how would that occur?
[09:26] Buffy Beale: I’m interested Nate and will contact you
[09:26] Hour Destiny: Jerry, yes. I’ve been thinking about it for months.
[09:26] nathanmaton: Here’s a link to our KS page – http://j.mp/zR3TJB
[09:27] nathanmaton: we’ve got some levels on there for non-profits
[09:27] nathanmaton: and we’re also open to talking via email
[09:27] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): So for those who have never developed a game before, is that 16K figure you need covering what?
[09:27] nathanmaton: I’m nate.maton@gmail.com
[09:27] Veri Oddfellow: Great presentation Nathan, I’m in! Let’s sit down and meet and go over some more ways I can be of assistance, eh?
[09:27] nathanmaton: @Rik the 16k goes to getting an artist, designer and developer to spend all day every day to make this happen
[09:28] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): so consultant time, essentially, got it
[09:28] LilyAlyn: how do you make a living off this?
[09:28] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): is that in the ballpark for a simple online game to develop? that sounds pretty reasonable
[09:28] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): @Hour, great idea! 🙂
[09:28] LilyAlyn: how could they spend all day every day doing it but still be a non-profit?
[09:28] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): LilyAlyn, people still need to eat!
[09:29] nathanmaton: We make a living by doing all sorts of periphery things to this, we hope that foundations and non-profits will find this of value and support it as it grows
[09:29] Hour Destiny: http://www1.networkforgood.org/for-nonprofits
[09:29] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): Nonprofit doesn’t mean people who work don’t get renumerated for their work
[09:30] nathanmaton: any other questions? Did I miss something?
[09:30] Gentle Heron: Volunteer means that, Rik!
[09:30] LilyAlyn: educate me lol. i dont know much about non profit work
[09:30] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): 🙂
[09:30] Veri Oddfellow: Keep up the good work, Nathan! Sounds tremendous!
[09:30] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): Volunteers get renumerated in social capital 😉
[09:30] nathanmaton: Thanks so much for rezzing in to talk about this
[09:31] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): thanks Nathan!
[09:31] Buffy Beale: Nathan you are amazing and all your work at Gameful too but yay so happy to see you here remember how long ago I talked about it to you lol
[09:31] Red (talkwithmarie): Thanks nathan! Awesome!
[09:31] nathanmaton: We’re also looking for researchers if anyone is interested in helping us figure out the effects this will have
[09:31] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): For sure nathan, best of luck
[09:31] nathanmaton: @ Buffy so glad to hear from ya!
[09:31] Veri Oddfellow: /applause
[09:31] Coughran Mayo: I tried to buy dinner with a bunch of gratitude someone had given me
[09:31] Buffy Beale: 🙂
[09:31] Zinnia Zauber: Thank you!
[09:31] Coughran Mayo: didn’t work
[09:31] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): @Coughran, 😉
[09:31] nathanmaton: and thanks Rik for inviting me here 🙂
[09:31] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): Are there other examples of serious games on similar subjects youcan recommend us to check out?
[09:31] nathanmaton: last time I saw you you were a dragon avatar
[09:31] Jen (jenelle.levenque): You went to the wrong place Coughran
[09:31] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): lol
[09:32] nathanmaton: I’d recommend looking at what Kevin Ballestrini is doing with his latin class
[09:32] nathanmaton: errr give me a second to find that article
[09:32] nathanmaton: http://blogs.kqed.org/mindshift/2011/11/can-an-online-game-crack-the-cod…
[09:33] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): @Coughran & @Jen, Technically, Jen’s correct… you tried to spend that currency someplace that didn’t recognize it 🙂
[09:33] nathanmaton: and look at what Lee Scheldon is doing. I’ve talked to their students and they said team work has never been like this before.
[09:34] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): sweet! We had Games for Change here in February
[09:34] nathanmaton: I saw 🙂
[09:34] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): let’s here it for Nathan
[09:34] nathanmaton: Thanks!
[09:34] Hour Destiny: You can get a license to HeroEngine for free and use it for your game. It’s a MMO engine used for Star Wars, the Old Republic (SWTOR). Allows you to collobrate/build in real time with others. Have a license to it myself.
[09:34] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): I personally want to play his game so I can learn how to work in teams!
[09:34] Veri Oddfellow: Yah … go Nathan!
[09:34] Buffy Beale: Great talk Nate thanks you rock it and lol I still can’t believe how small a world it is 🙂
[09:35] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): heh, I get a sense you’re already levelled up pretty for on that stat, Rik 🙂
[09:35] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): *far
[09:35] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): we’ll also blog about this meeting for those that weren’t here to learn about “4See”
[09:36] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): ok folks we are at the Open Mic / Announcement portion of our meeting
[09:36] nathanmaton: @Buffy aw shucks it is a small world
[09:36] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): oh shoot, I can’t find me file with all the relevant NPC links .

[09:47] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): who is always so plugged in!
[09:47] Gentle Heron: well not just me, Rik
[09:47] Gentle Heron: We’re coming toward the end of Brain Injury Awareness Month. We’ve had some amazingly informative and inspiring presentations. I want to thank NonProfit Commons colleagues Chad at NSIP and the wonderful ladies at JAN for participating in this collaborative effort.
[09:47] Gentle Heron: Two more presentations later today, if you have time to attend:
[09:48] Gentle Heron: Noon pm SLT- Anya Ibor (Fearless Nation PTSD peer support group leader) talks about “Brain Plasticity” at Etopia.
[09:48] Gentle Heron: 4pm SLT- Eve Maven (social work professor from Valdosta) talks about “TBI: The Signature Injury of Modern Warfare” and its implications for wounded warriors, their families, and their communities. This will be at Virtual Ability’s Sojourner Auditorium. I can give you a notecard about these two events today.
[09:48] Jen (jenelle.levenque): Anya has also been doing her presentations in the SpotON3D grid too
[09:48] BELOVEDROX: NSIP was happy to participate Thank you Gentle
[09:48] Gentle Heron: The closing ceremony for this month of events will be tomorrow, 9am to 3pm SLT at Etopia. Join us at Etopia Island for music, food, and fun as we celebrate the achievements and stories of individuals with brain injuries. For information on this gala event, please speak with Namaara MacMoragh
[09:49] Gentle Heron: (Namaara is hiding in the back here this morning.)
[09:49] Gentle Heron: And on a different (though of course related) topic, we will be viewing and then discussing a TED Talk by runner Aimee Mullins on the definition of “disability.” That will occur Sunday April 1 at 2pm and Monday April 2 and 11am both SLT on Virtual Ability island. We hope you can join us for these facilitated discussions.
[09:49] Buffy Beale: lol hiii Namaara I see you
[09:49] Gentle Heron: These TED Talk discussions are new for us. Please help us make them a success.
[09:49] Gentle Heron: (that’s all)
[09:49] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): Thanks Gentle
[09:49] Chad Mikado: Thanks!
[09:49] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): I ws thinking a facilitated TED Talk video showing / discussion thinggee here in the NPC might be great
[09:50] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): if someone wanted to take on that idea
[09:50] Glitteractica Cookie: yes, i agree
[09:50] Zotarah Shepherd: I like the TED Talks I have seen
[09:50] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): I often want to talk with people after watching them
[09:50] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): wow, you’d doing your own TEDx in SL?
[09:50] Gentle Heron: Yes, that’s what we thought it might be like, Jerry.
[09:50] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): thats a fun idea too
[09:50] Zotarah Shepherd: Great idea
[09:50] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): I was thinking of more of a regular video night here
[09:50] Gentle Heron: We have some folks who are prepared to facilitate the discussion.
[09:50] Glitteractica Cookie: we should talk to the Linden folks on that idea
[09:50] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): brilliant!
[09:51] Veri Oddfellow: Excellent idea … at least for streaming, but better if it was mixed reality
[09:51] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): anyway, this is your community, so anything you want to try and launch , we are all ears
[09:51] Jerry Buchko (jerrybuchko): regular video night would also be good idea
[09:52] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): welcome to SL xandino13
[09:52] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): ok I think that wraps it up
[09:52] Rik Panganiban (rik.riel): Mentors meeting after this?
