[16:48] Techplex Engineer: Its been a while [16:49] LillyoftheSea Starr: Indeed [16:49] Serena Offcourse: But maybe adding a circle chat before starting [16:49] Serena Offcourse: would add structure [16:49] Serena Offcourse: and lead to focus [16:49] LillyoftheSea Starr: YEs with some focus [16:49] Serena Offcourse: it is a process [16:49] CoolestBean Brunswick: I agree social networking and playfull learning is essential [16:50] Serena Offcourse: but if everyweek we just talked about "where we are going" [16:50] LillyoftheSea Starr: SO what if we do a bit of a trial in the next couple of Tuesdays [16:50] Singularity Mandelbrot: a loose direction [16:50] Serena Offcourse: I agree Tim loose [16:50] Serena Offcourse: but just start talking about it [16:51] Singularity Mandelbrot: too much structure would wreck the fun. but it would be nice to have some meaning to the fun and learning [16:51] Serena Offcourse: I agree [16:51] LillyoftheSea Starr: Yes they do need a purpose... a bit of one anyway [16:51] Serena Offcourse: I liked the freedom you gave us as students on BBI [16:51] Serena Offcourse: and to remember they are not taking a course [16:51] CoolestBean Brunswick: How about if we pair with the students to create different projects through collaboration [16:52] Serena Offcourse: but beginning [16:52] Reed Auebauch: they need a goal..let them find the way [16:52] LillyoftheSea Starr: Bisto, you still here?

[16:53] Singularity Mandelbrot: we could go with the virtual maine thing and showcase our state [16:53] Serena Offcourse: If we brianstorm and brainstorm I think the interests will emerge [16:53] Singularity Mandelbrot: that would go a far way and allow a lot of different projects [16:53] KJ Hax is Online [16:53] Serena Offcourse: great idea Tim! [16:53] CoolestBean Brunswick: I like that idea Tim [16:54] Singularity Mandelbrot: plus I have had some people ask me in RG if that is what we were going to do. [16:54] LillyoftheSea Starr: Yes Tim!
