[14:30] Mahari Caballero is Offline [14:30] Zai Lynch: to brake the silence on this, we spoke about how we could volunteer together and how mentors could become connected to each other. i would totally go for a "volunteering day" where groups of mentors meet and hop from one OI to the next or from an infohub to another. so there is a group experience and one learns to know each other while mentoring side by side [14:31] Ashlee Martin is Online [14:31] Zai Lynch: maybe some kind of journey... [14:31] Danielle Raabe is Online [14:31] kandy Kyong: yes is it right that when someone askes you how much money you have ..and you tell them i cant tell you but they go on about it again ,,,then they ask you to lend them some money ,,and they will pay you back..i told the person no [14:31] Alice Hoyer is Online [14:32] You: that sounds right, kandy, you aren't required to give anyone any information on you in SL [14:32] Zai Lynch: or money... [14:32] Jame2007 Vought is Online [14:32] You: and loans would be hard to deal with anyway in SL [14:33] kandy Kyong: yes thats why i said no and if they carried on i would report that person [14:33] Xel Tenk is Online [14:34] You: well, did many of you attend the last monthly Mentor meeting? Any thoughts about that or comments? [14:34] Zai Lynch: well if s/he doesn't stop bothering after you told politely that you won't help in that way, i guess it's ok, to ignore / mute the person if s/he doesn't stop [14:34] kandy Kyong: i have already [14:35] You: hi everyone coming in :)) [14:35] Jeza May is Online [14:36] Ivan Writer is Offline [14:36] Zai Lynch: great. i dunno if an AR is needed but if you feel that it's needed then you can/should file it and let LL deal with it [14:36] Pixie Tungl is Offline [14:36] Seth Usher: monna get me a skunk AV [14:36] Usil Bailey: Trinity I like all that was said at the meeting BUT I want the most basic mentors to feel comfortable with just helping newbies or beginners if thats all they want to do [14:36] Usil Bailey: and I want them trained so they can [14:37] You: yes, I know they mentioned making roles required, and quality over quantity, but we didn't get many details yet [14:37] Wisper Dagger is Online [14:37] Pixie Tungl is Online [14:37] You: what kinds of roles might you all like to see? [14:38] Doctor Gascoigne: no and go to your room [14:38] You: lol ok Doc [14:39] Usil Bailey: lol [14:39] Zai Lynch: well i got to admit that i feel fine with the role system as it is atm. i can't see the intention behind it while i don't think it will make something better if people join roles just to have one... but we'll see [14:39] Karin Redgrave is Offline [14:40] You: are all of you in a role yet? other than general Mentor? [14:40] Zai Lynch nods [14:40] Usil Bailey: nods [14:40] Master Pye: No [14:40] Yukarikat Benelli: no [14:40] Doctor Gascoigne: yes [14:40] kandy Kyong: no just a mentor [14:40] Master Pye: Just one of the nicest people in SL [14:41] You: aww [14:41] Zai Lynch: word! [14:41] kandy Kyong: awwww sweet [14:41] Usil Bailey: Are all of you in the Q&A group ?? [14:41] Doctor Gascoigne: your not just a mentor you are a volunteer mentor and that makes you very special [14:41] Yukarikat Benelli: i have only this group second life mentor [14:41] Zai Lynch is in the Q&A group [14:42] You: Q&A link: http://vteamblog.com/2008/01/14/test-group-second-life-mentor-qa/ [14:42] Usil Bailey: Yukarikat you need to get into Mentals [14:42] You: kind of like Live Help for Mentors [14:42] Usil Bailey: I recommend the Q&A to all of you [14:42] Yukarikat Benelli: ok [14:43] Beyonce Dingson is Offline [14:43] Zai Lynch: so master, while you're a long time mentor and not in a role what do you think about the upcoming changes? *curiouse* [14:43] You: hi Rock [14:43] Jezzie McCellan is Online [14:43] Rock Paderborn: Hi Trinity [14:44] Chaos Mohr is Offline [14:44] Contessa Marquez is Offline [14:44] Master Pye: As the areas are defined I feel they still need to adhere to the Mentor role as a whole,.How dos it help new people remain. [14:44] Vanity Esparza is Offline [14:45] You: Rock, we're just discussing anything you all bring to the meeting, this is a format that the Lindens have approved of for us to get together and come up with suggestions, plans, ideas, etc [14:45] Rock Paderborn: ok, thank you [14:45] Ivan Writer is Online [14:46] Ivan Writer is Offline [14:46] You: I think the Lindens brought up requiring a role as a way to give people focus, and maybe to help provide a niche for people right off the bat [14:46] Usil Bailey: brb phone call ,,,, [14:46] Zai Lynch: i'm not sure if i got it. so you're saying we need more roles that fit the mentors better? [14:46] Usil Bailey: Hi Jezzie [14:47] Zai Lynch s english is a little bumpy [14:47] Yukarikat Benelli: hi jezzie [14:47] Jezzie McCellan: hi everyone [14:47] You: hi Jezzie [14:47] Zai Lynch: hi jezzie =) [14:48] You: well for those of you in roles, what would help you? or if you're not in a role, what do you think the group as a whole might do better to help you shine in a role? [14:49] kandy Kyong: a role that is suited for that peason .. whatever they are really good at [14:49] Loki Pyle is Online [14:50] Rock Paderborn: we all have certain things we are better at, but how do we get that knowledge to the people that need it? [14:50] Rock Paderborn: spcialize? [14:50] Cate Dollinger is Online [14:50] You: that's one idea :) [14:51] You: i guess we would need to know better what people need [14:51] You: or want, etc [14:51] Beyonce Dingson is Online [14:51] Vanity Esparza is Online [14:52] You: like if Kandy wanted to start a business, what are some good ways she might learn about the mentors or if we can even help? [14:52] You: and i think i zapped her by talking about her [14:52] Yukarikat Benelli: to search a rental shop for example [14:52] You: wb kandy [14:52] Zai Lynch: eek [14:52] Zai Lynch: hehe [14:52] Yukarikat Benelli: if she dont want buy a land for now [14:52] kandy Kyong: ty smiles [14:53] Fabrice Parisi: rent [14:53] You: do you think we should ask Mentors what they are good at? [14:53] Yukarikat Benelli: see more lands rental.. [14:53] Yukarikat Benelli: see in the search the fee for the rent... the traffic of the land... [14:53] You: or just provide opportunities that try to cover what they might be good at [14:53] Usil Bailey: YES but we have that in the wiki [14:53] Rock Paderborn: I think to ask the Mentors is a very good start [14:54] Usil Bailey: you can load it in the Zhao [14:54] Usil Bailey: oops [14:54] Jezzie McCellan is Offline [14:54] You: hi Lum [14:54] You: so Yuki, you're bringing up a good way we can point people to information, like the Wiki :) [14:54] Yukarikat Benelli: :) [14:55] Zai Lynch: yay lummy =) [14:55] Jezzie McCellan is Online [14:55] JCNY - Legacy Diamond Engagement Ring (Solo) -iTalk 3.0: I Love Rock!

[14:56] You: or each other for that matter [14:56] Ashlee Martin is Offline [14:56] Classroom Station Teleport: Teleport pad rezzed for Sandbox. Click pad to proceed. [14:56] Teleport Pad: Destination will be Sandbox [14:56] Zai Lynch: well. once we asked mentors what they are good at... what would be next? i mean i can't see the goal atm.... [14:56] Jade Atlantis is Online [14:57] Rock Paderborn: offering classes for Residents that want more information on cetain subjects [14:57] Ivan Writer is Online [14:57] Usil Bailey: Trinity I have a set folder I hand out to all and if newbies are comming in to fast to talk to I just start passing my folder to all [14:57] Lum Pfohl: Would that be competing with NCI? [14:57] Usil Bailey: I send people to NCI all the time [14:57] Doctor Gascoigne: NCi is not in competition with us [14:57] Doctor Gascoigne: they work with us [14:57] Lum Pfohl: I understand that The Help People are also considering holding classes and tsi [14:57] Usil Bailey: yes [14:59] Vanity Esparza is Offline [14:59] Zai Lynch: the fermi sandbox is offering great classes as well... i think i got to give people the ability to search for the classes that are already available and if there is a need in classes after that, we could try to put these up [14:59] Zai Lynch: *we [15:00] Lum Pfohl: we would need a publicly available location to hold classes [15:00] Lum Pfohl: but that is a great idea - [15:00] Jezzie McCellan: we don't offer classes to new residents, only to mentors [15:00] marion90 Bing is Offline [15:00] Lum Pfohl: Oooh i see - I misunderstood [15:00] Zai Lynch: there is the volunteers headquarter. it has a huuuge classroom [15:00] Rock Paderborn: why dont we offer classes to Residents? [15:00] You: yes, we don't have a place that is public as far as owned by the Volunteer Program, except Tenera, i guess [15:00] Usil Bailey: I think we should continue to send them to NCI because they are good at what they do [15:01] You: well, we can offer classes, but that might be another role, or an expansion of the current coaches role [15:01] You: and that's a great point too Usil [15:01] Jezzie McCellan: Mentors teach how to find the answers [15:01] Jezzie McCellan: not classes [15:01] Rock Paderborn: good point [15:01] Usil Bailey: we need to concentrate on teaching out own Ranks above all else !!!!!!!!!!! [15:02] Lum Pfohl: Yes! I'm ALL about being self-sufficient and asking for help when absolutely necessary.. [15:02] You: well i have to agree that Mentors need a lot of help [15:02] Usil Bailey: Too many mentors cant find the OI's or do an abuse report [15:02] Doctor Gascoigne: I got one in Im today [15:02] Doctor Gascoigne: how do I find an OHI [15:02] Doctor Gascoigne: whats an OHI [15:02] Lum Pfohl: *sigh [15:02] Vanity Esparza is Online [15:03] marion90 Bing is Online [15:03] You: so maybe Mentors Teaching Residents can be an idea for down the road, but we need to get ourselves in a little better shape first [15:03] Usil Bailey: YES [15:03] Lum Pfohl: I will volunteer to come up with some course materials, I guess - on the topic of increasing Mentor problem solving abilities. [15:03] Usil Bailey: we need to get our house in order [15:03] Zai Lynch: well i guess the shadowing program which might be upcoming in a not to distant future might fix some of these problems for new mentors. but what about the old ones? [15:03] Vanity Esparza is Offline [15:03] Kynne Llewellyn is Offline [15:03] Usil Bailey Agrees with Lum [15:03] Lum Pfohl: But the problem is, alot of what we know comes from experience - you can't teach experience in class [15:04] You: yes, that's true Lum [15:04] Lum Pfohl: You can't teach "insight" [15:04] Rock Paderborn: nor common sense.. [15:04] Usil Bailey: you can teach skills [15:04] Vanity Esparza is Online [15:04] Jen Jensen is Offline [15:04] Kynne Llewellyn is Online [15:04] You: hard to really cover it all in 1 hour or even a month [15:04] Lum Pfohl: That's why I have my prim-skirt making class - in hopes people understand a little about building stuff [15:04] Usil Bailey: you can talk of insight you can teach anything you,,we are mentors,,there is nothing we cannot do !!! [15:05] You: yes! :) [15:05] Zai Lynch: hehe. woot! [15:05] You: so anything kind of standing out yet as an action plan? [15:05] Jen Jensen is Online [15:05] You: out of all the ideas so far? [15:06] Usil Bailey: we need to start right away at seeking out new mentors and talking with them and finding out what they need to learn [15:06] Usil Bailey: we need to bring new mentors into meetings like this !! [15:06] You: what would be a good checklist for that? [15:07] Usil Bailey: there should be thirty or more here right now [15:07] You: like Mentors need to learn: [15:07] You: #1? [15:07] Rock Paderborn: orintation logs [15:07] Usil Bailey: #1 AR [15:07] Usil Bailey: #2 MAP [15:07] You: omg yes, the Map [15:07] Rock Paderborn: I'm new and I'm here, its a mater of level of interest [15:07] Usil Bailey: #3Search [15:07] Usil Bailey: #4 places to learn [15:07] cmans Aeon is Offline [15:07] You: yes, I am so glad new people came too... we all are a team :) [15:07] Zai Lynch: well many people won't join the class as long as it looks like work. so let's make it look like fun. or even better: let it be fun! so i'm totally going for the mentioned mentor journeys... like a scavanger hunt for mentors. and they got to solve tasks which make them learn something about mentoring [15:07] Usil Bailey: #5 how to handle Griefers !!!!! [15:08] Usil Bailey: #6 how to ask for help from other mentors !! [15:08] Usil Bailey: #7 tell the new ones who we are what we are doing !! [15:08] You: oh, so we could maybe put that checklist into a fun exercise like your idea Zai and people might be a lot more attentive [15:09] Zai Lynch nods [15:09] You: AR's, and some neat thing for that [15:09] Usil Bailey: We get the Buddies and coaches to go out and teach them in the sims they are at [15:09] You: Mapping, similar [15:09] cmans Aeon is Online [15:09] Lum Pfohl: These classes could line up with the "new mentor qualifications" if Linden Labs decides to go ahead with that... [15:09] Jezzie McCellan: all classes are suppose to be taught here, so you would need Vteam approval [15:10] Usil Bailey: Look there is an apprentice hewre now !!!! LloydAston is soaking this up like a sponge [15:10] You: just Orientation actually [15:10] Alice Hoyer is Offline [15:10] Kallisti Burns is Offline [15:10] LloydAston Dollinger: hi all [15:10] You: I think they are both more referring to a "real" application of knowledge [15:10] Zai Lynch: heya lloyd =) [15:10] You: in a live setting with real people [15:10] You: or virtual people? [15:10] You: lol [15:10] Zai Lynch: hehe [15:11] You: i like those ideas tho [15:11] Usil Bailey: yes as we shadow [15:11] You: that's also something the Buddies would probably love to hear about as a group [15:11] Jezzie McCellan: We ask that all classes follow these guidelines * Must be PG. * Should be held at SLVEC when possible. If impossible, the location of the class should be on another SL Volunteer Island location and the new location clearly marked on the class listing page. [15:11] Kallisti Burns is Online [15:12] Pixie Tungl is Offline [15:12] Jezzie McCellan: http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Mentors_Teaching_Mentors [15:12] You: well, i think the sort of thing they are discussing would be impossible to do here as well [15:12] Ivan Writer is Offline [15:12] You: maybe I need to understand better [15:13] Jezzie McCellan: it is good to have ideas, but there are guidelines that we must follow [15:13] You: we're just discussing :) [15:13] Jezzie McCellan: so the ideas that are developed should be within the guidelines [15:14] You: I love to see lots of energy and ideas for things :) [15:14] You: we can work on the details later :) [15:14] Zai Lynch: there is still the chance that the VTeam likes the ideas and allows the planes =) [15:14] Rock Paderborn: energy and ideas are fine\ [15:14] Rock Paderborn: but if they are not within guidelines, they become wasted energy [15:14] Lum Pfohl: I suggest - [15:15] Beyonce Dingson is Offline [15:15] Kynne Llewellyn is Offline [15:15] Lum Pfohl: That we come up with a list of 10 or so topics to teach. Then we teach those topics to each other [15:15] Lum Pfohl: so that anyone of us can teach them. [15:15] Usil Bailey agrees with Lum [15:15] You: yes that sounds good Lum [15:15] Lum Pfohl: then we turn around and train the masses [15:15] Jezzie McCellan: wow this sounds just like the Class in a box committee meeting, are we repeating work [15:16] Lum Pfohl: ahahah [15:16] Usil Bailey: We train like we mentor and we mentor like we train [15:16] Alice Hoyer is Online [15:16] Lum Pfohl: then why don't we use them? [15:16] Jezzie McCellan: trinity you were there [15:16] Usil Bailey: the art of war we need to be agressive with this [15:16] cmans Aeon is Offline [15:16] Jezzie McCellan: didn't that very thing get suggested [15:16] cmans Aeon is Online [15:16] Usil Bailey: lolol [15:16] Jezzie McCellan: in fact isn't that what is being worked on right now [15:17] Usil Bailey has trouble keeping up with all that goes on [15:17] Jezzie McCellan: why repeat the work being done by other mentors [15:17] Lum Pfohl: If there's already a framework - then I'm happy to follow - but let's pick a convention and stick with it [15:17] You: well, it sounds like a great idea nonetheless, i only just heard Lum's idea just now [15:17] You: like 5 seconds ago [15:18] Yukarikat Benelli: sorry crashed [15:18] Lum Pfohl: That way if any of us leaves, the subject matter doesn't die with that person [15:18] You: Jezzie, would you help Lum get together with the Class in a Box group, or give her a contact for that? [15:18] Yukarikat Benelli: /tab ... [15:19] Jezzie McCellan: i suggest before you do two things, 1/ repeat others work. and 2/ step on their toes. you realize that Coaches teach classes and work on plans for them [15:19] Jezzie McCellan: lum are you in the coaches program [15:19] Lum Pfohl: No i am no [15:19] Lum Pfohl: t [15:19] You: just a show of virtual hands here, how many of you are coaches, or have heard about the Class in a Box idea before?
