Hi everyone,

Dafne and Yaodong would like to have a lesson on creating virtual pets at Tapped In this Sunday noon.

If you know how to make virtual pets, please come along and give your advice.

Subject: [evonline2002_webheads] Training virtual pets, Tapped In Sunday noon GMT,

Hi all,

as a skilled virtual pet creator and trainer, I'd be happy to make a Tapped In pet show today! As pets are not allowed in the reception area where they make too much disturbance to innocent visitors, I propose we meet in my virtual playground for a change?

Anyone interested in helping out this playful but very educational task, will get their own personal pet, but first they have to register as a Tapped In member! You will learn how to make new commands for a pet, how to attach an icon to the pet, and how to use the pets in a training session with others as well as an easy talking piece in an ordinary conversation. Pets can be stored in your pocket or left in your virtual office, but always do remember to bring your pet along when It had s been used in a foreign office, as the risk is it will otherwise be swept off with the virtual garbage.

Pet owners who are ready to help us, please bring your own pet to perform for the amazed group of trainees!

I'll log in in a few minutes and groom my pets for the session! Guineapig, Frodo the dog and may others are waiting to meet you. In the Tapped In ASO, there are several examples on virtual pet shows, one of them was at the carnival, and the chat log from any ASO session is stored in the trancsript emailer.

Yours Susanne [virtual pet trainer]

PS

As an extra feature, we may be able to make drawings of our pets in the Groupboard tool where everyone logged in can see what the drawer is doing simultaneously? Just an instant idea... http://www.homestead.com/vstevens/files/efi/groupboard.htm

Hi Susanne! This Pet session sounds great, only that I switched on my computer too late to participate...., which I regret!!!! Is there any other possibility of having a new chance, and knowing about it in advance? :-( Thanks a lot Rita


We'll do it again Rita. Tapped In is the topic for next week. I'll try to get all the materials people are producing on this subject on to the web site for Week 2 and we'll try and make it as systematic as possible.

That's for my benefit too. I ducked out of the pet training session last night to try out iVisit with Gary Cziko (who is trying to get a Language Exchange going, sort of a trade-languages arrangement). In typical Webheads fashion, we soon had participants chaos-navigating from Tapped In to Yahoo Messenger to MSN to iVisit with varying degrees of satisfaction but certainly a sense of having accomplished something!

Did I say systematic? OK, I'll try to get focused on Tapped In for next week and a page putting together everyone's helpful emails on the topic, Week 2 in the syllabus.

Hang in there, the bus takes off with passengers grasping at the handrails, but we'll soon get everyone on board.

it's all good fun, Vance
