 Welcome everybody to today's that's week four session one of the evil session immersive language learning in virtual words Cristiana, I think thank you so much for enlightening who you are. Yes. Yes. Yes, and We're looking forward to meeting Ian cook Bonnie If I pronounce that correctly, you've done that really well from New Zealand and We've met Through well, we've been introduced through co spaces in Munich Co spaces is a lovely 3d tool that I want to introduce you to and they Referred us to somebody who is available at 9 p.m. In Europe Which was the issue because co spaces in Munich obviously is open during the day, but not at night So here it is Ian's local time is 9 a.m. He's connecting from his school and the score I'm going to introduce you to this one is A very fascinating school you'll probably tell us more about this one, but I've just wanting to show it That's tahuna the normal intermediate school now. It's the name of it is Was a little bit of normal normal intermediate, but you'll tell us more about it the fascinating thing I've sort of looked at is the This which is not familiar to us at all te tayo peka Well pronounced. Yes. So this is one of the schools. I work in it's the lead school for Our steam cluster and also our language Mandarin language cluster So an intermediate school if you are not familiar with that is for year seven and eight students So it's like a transition school between primary school and secondary school Yes, so Yes Then the normal part means that it's actually attached to a college of education So normal schools across the globe if it's got normal and it means it has a special relationship with a college of education meaning that it has Student teachers a lot. So student teachers will come in as part of their their curriculum practice As they learn to be teachers. So that's what the normal is for in the name Yes, there's some of our staff and our love principal It's quite For our city to whom is probably one of the largest school. We've just gone over 600 students this year So we at the Eden has about 300,000 people in it That live there. So we are a large school for Dunedin not a large school globally, perhaps and we are sit and lovely Dunedin, which is Down in the south end of New Zealand And we're situated sort of at the top of the Otago Peninsula and and schools come to fear now the Te Taipeka So this is three Omari. So Maori is the native language of New Zealand And te Taipeka is like our cultural group in there too. So when you go into that section on the website You'll see lots of things around Our cultural stuff particularly to our Maori and Maori culture things in there as well So that's what that word is about. So that's and I can't actually remember what it means to tell you what it means. Sorry, but There's some homework for you to find out I could probably Google it right now and find out But it is that the name of our The group by the sea. Yes Because that is that is now we are we're very fortunate we our schools situated in a suburb called sub-kilder and Basically, if you walk out the front gate over the rugby field, you're at the beach Yeah Hence the little bird in the symbol for Te Huna, which is actually a royal albatross Which is a very special bird only Nests here only breeds here in Dunedin on our peninsula And is the biggest Bird a seabird. I think it has got the longest wingspan in the world These are the funny ones when they start when they start taking off, you know Well, I've got like double double-jointed wings that I sort of come out and then they fold out again So they got massive massive wings and they spend about six months when the adults actually flying At sea and then they come back and Bruce and mate and that's and by a lighthouse on the peninsula and your role as a teacher is in Steam so my yeah, my role is is as a leader for steam So not just here at Te Huna So we have our Targo Peninsula schools So these nine schools on the entire go peninsula and we have a three-year steam project with All of those schools so I lead that project And we're just starting our second year of those three years looking at steam So that's you know science technology engineering arts and maths But we also have a digital collaboration focus as well because these 18 kilometers between Te Huna normal intermediates and Our little primary school Portobello, which is down by the Albatross at the other end of the peninsula and It's a very nice road. It's very scenic, but it's a tourist road and that's full of road works at the moment So it's it's a little bit difficult to to get down to the schools and things like that too and for them to get that So a focus for us was actually breaking classroom walls and connecting to other people And we've looked at that between our cluster, but also Globally so we wanting to break our classroom walls and connect to to classes and to learners and students across the world So you have a very global language learning program We do we have Like a tuner alone. We have Samoan we have Japanese we have Mandarin so we're a Mandarin language learning cluster as well We have a German teacher actually who's originally from German and Germany and he teaches German So no in our school alone we have you know quite a few language options that are available for students and now can do those as a formal class or as an elective so during term two and three on a Friday students can choose an elective interest subject that they want to do and you know some of those are languages as well And you do a lot of collaboration as well with with other countries So when you learn locally, but also connect to Yes That's right. So Yeah, because we're a small country and we're we're small schools We're very interested in connecting through to people across the world and look and Becoming global citizens. I'll say and part of that is language learning and but also cultural learning So so we look for opportunities to connect to classes now across the globe as I said before we are You know a Mandarin language learning cluster So several of our schools have sister schools in China and In the past these are kind of been a very sort of static thing So nothing you sort of your sign it and you say you're a sister school But nothing much happens, but we've tried to make these a living breathing sort of no real thing So we have students coming to visit and we send students over to our sister schools But we also try to connect digitally using tools like zoom So that students can talk and practice their language their conversational language skills Through zoom and tools like co-spaces. So you can do that too and especially that Combination zoom co-spaces and what you do. We're looking forward to you and so I'll shut up now and let you get on I Bring everyone's questions to your attention for sure To you showing us what you have Sure. Okay Yes, so this really came out of a conversation that started around about five or six years ago with that with a teacher colleague of mine and he's actually ended up as the Director of international sort of relations at Te Huna And we looked at ways that we could combine digital technology with language learning and The first thing we the step we did was connecting students through zoom. So we Typically use them. We started with Skype But found that didn't really work as well as it could do And then we moved on to to zoom after Some recommendations from some local experts and it's been really good for our students because it's easy to set up It's easy to use and the tools are really great Which I'll show you a couple little tips and tricks in a minute And then from there once we had students talking to each other through zoom and they're so Interesting to watch them talking and conversing together because we have Mandarin language lessons here and we have Formal language learning and cultural lessons and of course in China they have Formal English lessons and I know we so there's a lot of formal language learning But not a lot of opportunities to practice that in a conversational setting. So No, this gave our students and even our teachers a chance to To talk face-to-face with with students from another country from another language and practice their language skills So once we're done that we are sort of thinking well, how do we make this a little bit more immersive? How do we make it more real and authentic for our students? because what we ideally wanted to do was to have a shared learning experience where we had a Friend or a buddy that was in another class and we could work on a project together And it would be a seamless natural authentic sort of task that we're doing So I look for tools that would allow us to do that and one of these that we stumbled across was co-spaces Well, there's actually one that I've been working with for for a wee bit and then I said, oh, why don't we try this? and it's been super popular and I'll show you a couple of things that we've worked on so I'll Do a screen share So if I just share Let me have a look. I think this hang on. I'll just make sure I've got the right thing. Yeah share that I just share my desktop actually. Oh, no, we'll try that share Alright, now if I close that tab Here we go All right, I'm sort of showing you behind the curtain here So for those that don't know co-spaces is a VR and AR creation platform Particularly designed for schools. Okay, so it's designed for kids to use and it's really easy to use So this is the home page that co-spaces.io And you can just log in register here too. So when you join There is a price like a pro version that you pay for but there is a basic account That is free to use with limited resources and I'll take you through some of that a little bit later but If I just go back here when I log in home This is the home page for it so we can build these virtual spaces that court so you can see here and here some of the Things that I've been building in here But I want to show you just a couple of these here, too And so if we go over here, so the first one I'm going to show you is this one. This is the spot the difference activity So if I load this up, I think I've got it. Oh, no Have to do it again. Sorry Here we go loading So we thought about games that we could play so what sort of games would be Universal should we say and we started with games like tic-tac-toe You know noughts and crosses and we went to snakes and ladders and spot the difference against that pretty much every with me And then we thought how could we bring that into to building sort of experiences around some of those things? So this here is A cost base so you can see it's a 3d model 3d world so I can rotate this around here like this and We can sort of zoom in and out and We are currently in what's called build mode at the moment and actually build mode is collaborative So if we both had cost basis accounts So say I was talking to a student or someone in another country or another class They could actually sign in we could build in the same space together So we could be connected here in zoom and we could be saying oh, okay I think we need you know some giraffes over in the corner or something that and They could go and work on that too. So you can see here's a library down here And how many how many can play together or create together? If you're on the pro account It's really up to your bandwidth. I think so you can create group assignments So you could have say an assignments. Let's build a city or a zoo or whatever your Context is and you could assign it to Your whole class and they would be all building in the same space We would get a little bit crowded. Yes, perhaps as people Chucking around then tend to find that it works really well with in pairs or small groups So I think at the most we had one last year. I'm going to show you the language town world next and We had groups of six working on that so we had three Students from New Zealand and three students from China and each group and they would go into that world And the teacher can create like a template and then push that out as an assignment So it will go to all the students and then they can say whether that template is You know one each for them to build or whether they work on it collaboratively as a group a little bit like If any of you have used things like Google classroom or something like that We see that an assignment. You can choose whether it's you know, everybody gets a copy or it's a group copy So similar sort of tool here in co-spaces. So really useful and all If you're collaborating while building something how to communicate can you use chat or do you have to use another software as well? Yeah, so that's so that's where that zoom co-spaces sort of Family-melled partnership comes together. So exactly what we're doing now So we could be here on zoom and we're talking and it wouldn't have to be a video one But it could just be an audio conversation But we could be here talking Communicating and then building and working together here in co-spaces So you can see, you know lots of different models here in different sections down here for all these different models Text chat in this environment whereby you could text eventually perhaps to everyone who's building Yeah, no not at the moment No, so it's that's good good questions. Yeah So it's something that we can put it into feature request though. So that could be a good thing to have particularly as Now we're looking to improve this product too and they are really good at taking feedback and built putting things in Because one of the things I'd really like to see is not only ability to build together But to play together and here too. So at the moment when you when I push play Only I'd be playing it, you know, whoever's on the other end wouldn't be playing as well But we found ways around that as well Okay, I'm gonna give you a quick look just to see I'll put in something in here just for Just to show you I'm just gonna move that over to the side again go to the side Okay, let's put in Some plants so it's just a drag and drop Things that's really easy for Students to use and there's just little quick tools. So if I wanted to you know, make that bigger smaller rotate around and You can you know, do lots of things so we can change the color Of the thing so very easy to create for students Students can also upload their own content into here, which is really useful. So things like images so you can see how something here It's even got a built-in web search that Brings in like royalty-free images. They can use as part of it but they can also Import videos so you can have little language that videos and things that they put on here too They can build their own 3d models or import their own 3d models and they can record sound into it as well So you can have sound playing so it can become a really rich environment So I'm going to push play just to show you what that looks like when we're actually in the world Here we go. Here's play So you can see here now. We're in the world. Well, I've just here would stay in English just for a moment and We can look around I'm doing this from a laptop at the moment. So I'm just using the mouse and the keyboard Part of it as well as building it has a coding side towards well so we can make things interactive So you might have seen here when I hover over the button here It says okay, what language do you want this in so we could actually say okay? We want this in Torreo Maori now. So now the zoo's in Maori Okay, or I could say actually no, I want to see what welcome to the zoo looks like in Mandarin So I'll click on here and now we're in Mandarin Okay, so I can actually change those languages and make buttons and things that would happen so now I can actually walk into the zoo and You can see we've got some Things happening and they are zoo here too. So all these things can be added and then Created in programs to work. So these like speech bubbles and things and we can say what the beers are doing You can see if we walk down here and they actually move Yeah, and they can walk around and they can do all sorts of things now I'm here too and it's very easy for students to do this Okay, so you can walk around and you can see things like the names of things and So just from a language point of view right now Now we can be doing and saying actually we're going to do our zoo with a focus on maybe Describing words or colors or something like that So we know our speech bubbles coming and they've got us like a structure that we might be looking at for learning some language So, you know if a teacher was building this or students were building something they could have a focus I know the program the coded speech bubbles that take They're live, but we can just go back and we could change the coding very easily and Then they would push play and I would say something else completely different Yeah, the other thing in this is that as you walk around this zoo She said the the play a functionality is just a single player, right? So these yeah that run around our bots They're not real people, correct No, they're not real people. They are bots. Yeah, so they're just Fascinating very fast And You know for you, I'm a screen sharing this so if I was working with a student in another classroom I would be doing this or they might be doing it and I might be talking them through and I might be saying Or no, no, you're just like it's just a window that you're looking so you can't actually they can't see me So so I might be so if they were there I might have shared this to them and said, okay You push play and then I'm going to give you some tasks to do So I might say go and find the elephant enclosure or something like that And they would have to know do things or I might go and say there might be some different things in this one It might be Because this is a game this one. This is spot the difference. So we'd walk around the zoo in English And then would say okay, so if I was talking to a Chinese student I might say right now let's go and change that to Mandarin and I want you to find six things that have changed in the zoo and there are six differences And I might go and find it. Oh, and I might and they're walking around they say, oh the lion's sleeping now instead of doing this or that umbrella is Blue now and it was red before Know by building the game around it you can do that sort of thing as well as practicing your language skills So you're trying to give them know a task or something that we're doing is Rather than just getting into world and chatting to each other about random something they Know on the first level can build something together, but then you might the second level They might have built something for someone else So might be an experience that they do and then the other participant has to you know Complete the challenge or do something that gives them a framework Around that language that they share together and something to talk about and converse about there, too so so that's The spot the difference language one okay from there and I'm just going to hop out of that Now any questions about that while we're there. Are there any other questions? So basically the environment So you've you've taken the the 3d space which you built and then you copied it several times that was the four or two of three So you can see here. Yeah at the side here they have co-spaces works on an idea of scenes So you might have seen at the bottom. I had one of four So down here you can see this is the English scene and then we've got the scene copied For each one of those different languages so you can do like once you've built one scene you Change the language. Yeah, exactly and then you can actually while we're behind the scenes So you can see here up beside our play button. There's the code button so as well as being really useful for Language learning, you know, we use co-spaces a lot as part of the steam side of things because it incorporates so many Parts of that steam. We've got science. We've got the technology. We've got the building But we've got the digital technologies here, too So you can see that coding is happening here, too. So if I go over to say the beers And this is the feature that they've added only in the last couple of years, right? Because when I Yeah, it's good. They added it and I think this is just such a smart move So yeah, it's it's really good for for adding the interactivity and getting things to happen Absolutely, awesome. Yeah, so I've got all that sort of stuff yet if I go here. There we go So you can see here we've got so you can put in things like quizzes So choice button so we can actually embed a quiz. These can see here You could actually have have that seen and then set a quiz around it. So you've got a quiz panel here, too So you can build like an track. Yeah It is very similar to like if you've worked with scratch or any of those visual coding blocks Very similar and do that, too I've been wanting to see this I mean, this is just so stunning Yeah Where are we? So the little the little people that walk around and speak. Yeah, I was just trying to find you. Yeah, we are where that is Yeah, here's my coding gone for oh I might not have coded them to do that so that If I go here because all I've done is Click on the speech so you can see here so that just tags a little speech bubble to them So I can do that and that just means it's on all the time But I actually could code it to talk and then have a more kind of in this case I just bought speech bubbles floating above the head So you can either have a think or a say because this had a language focus I wanted it to be visible all the time so that when a learner was in the space That was they were presented with those those sentence structures or the language all the time They didn't have to worry about clicking on something core doing that so hence in this case The speech bubbles are just above everybody's head all the time What I'll do now is I'll pop out of this one So I'll go back home and I am If I change that Can you see that one? Now I go over to here. Yeah With the different projects. Yeah, so yeah, okay, so we might I think it's not showing the other tab So I'll just you might have to screen to your death. Yeah in order to show. Yeah, I'm going to yeah, just reshoot it Okay, so let's go to desktop and we'll just share Right there we go and I'll minimize you guys so we don't have to see yourselves Right, so this one is called language town. So we built this one. This is the one that we built for Our Chinese sister school for to who know So we built the town as a space here So doing that and then we sort of gave that timber to the kids and said, you know Go here add different things so they might have added so you can see for example a different colored cars and They tried to add variation because what's one of the things we Started with two language features. We wanted to at that time. We're looking at colors and also positional language so Things like the compass points or turning left turning right and things like that So this was designed for them to talk about those different language features so not just a little bit to the coding discussion because One person says how how easy is it to learn coding Yeah, and Susanna also asked well, what about students in their 20s who don't have coding so can you Do anything about that? Yeah, absolutely coding Yes So if you if you don't need want to do coding you definitely don't have to do coding to Use this tool it just adds that extra Interactivity and it just makes it a richer world, but for example if I go into This guy here this little guy will zoom in and just have a look at him So here is this little guy at the moment. He doesn't do anything So if I wanted him to say something I could just double click on him go to speech and say Hi So now you can see he's got the little speech bubble above him that says hi So you can do that without coding anything and the other thing that I could do without coding anything I can double click on him and I can actually say I want him to be Got more livery actions hang on we'll just Really animation Let's make him Here's the waving one should be able to make him wave at you Let's just make him talking excited There we go So you go see you can see Okay, so if I push play now and we walk up to him. So here we go So here's our camera. We yeah, so you can see on the cut on the ground here We've got a compass rose just to help Students or learners in the space, you know, no which direction is which and you can see over here We've got our first instruction so it says, you know, I don't have to read that It says walk north to the blue bus shutter. So using those two color things You notice around the compass rose that we have some buttons So if I click one of these it'll actually say that compass direction like east and it'll say that and Mandarin So you've got a little bit of language there to for both I can now walk around the space and have a lot so I can say I've got to walk north to the blue bus Shutter so and a student would have put that in and you can see there's our We boy that we got to say hi and he's now you know looking very excited. So we did that without any coding at all Yeah, so and then we're along here and we're going oh, we're at the blues bus shatter What do I do now? So we'll have a wee look and we turn a look and then the lady says Oh, we've got to walk east into the park to find a little girl Okay You know, we're practicing those language features got to read that we could have that support now via zoom Where now they're talking and so I actually I don't understand that sentence Or could you read that for me or something like that or help me with this? So we've got that collaborative learning happening. So you can see here we can walk east into the park We found the little girl and we gone over over here and she's saying walk north Okay, so we have to remember to find the old man So we might have been looking at you know compass directions or just scripted language So here's our old man and now we can walk west until we get to the shop And that's really as far as we've got with this person Designing that so I don't think they have built their shop yet. So But that's kind of the thing that we're looking at in here, too And we're using a laptop to do that So you could be we could be using a laptop or a desktop or a Chromebook works fine like this But the other thing that's really good about co-spaces that it's really Platform agnostic we can use a wide variety of different devices with co-spaces So it works not only on web. So for our laptops Deslops and Chromebooks, but we have an Android app. So for Android phones and we've also got iOS apps So there works on iPad and iPhones and things like that, too And I'm going to show you what language town looks like From my phone now. So you can see what that looks like and how it's a little bit different to Playing it from just the laptop. All right, let's have a look here Fire cable. Let's share and see what happens. Shall we All right, we'll just have to try that again. Click it in Sharing quest is paused. Bring your ship into the front. Sorry What's happening here? Bear with me team and Ian showed me a way of sharing Uh, and I can you see this? Yeah, can you see my zoom settings on the front here? Oh, no, because I'm not sharing anymore But yes, um, if you're using zoom with an iPad or an iPhone you can Simply plug in with the cable Plug in with the cable and it will work. It's just not behaving itself at the moment to be honest currently It's a little bit gray Oh, yeah, are we going to start share? Come on Yeah, that's not Oh, here we go. Yay. Hello. That's the mobile phone. You can see my phone Yeah, so there's my phone. So let's pop over. Can you see now? Here we go. There is language down where we were before So I can you know use my finger to look around And I can use this sort of back and forth No to move around, but it's that's not particularly why we use our phone So you'll notice in the bottom right corner. We have three little buttons So the first one has the two circles. So this is called magic window and it's particular to um, your iOS devices the iPhones and iPads and we use this a lot So now when I move the iPhone around or the iPad, I'm now like got a magic window into my world I can actually just look around And move around in my world and it feels really natural So it's it's sort of the next big thing if you don't have Now a VR headset or something like that to being in virtual reality because I can Feel that I've got that so it just works all exactly the same Uh, and we can go over here And do all the bits and we can click on things and do everything and it works really well If I am lucky and I've got google cardboard or a headset or something like that Then the one the little goggles you might recognize that's the google cardboard symbol so If I'm in here and now I'm in headset mode so I can be fully immersed in the world and then walk around and the last one That middle one doesn't that one is augmented reality. So that means I can just scan the floor. Hopefully there we go and there we go and now language town is now on the office floor here and I can actually walk around This is brilliant So which is really neat. Uh, so we could walk around that in the classroom and And you know, you're there in augmented reality as well So, you know, lots and lots of ways of In there too. Um, the other thing it does have actually I wonder if I've got that on here She I'll show you. Oh No, I can't because I have don't have a merge cube The other thing that the co-spacer does is it works with merge cubes No, I'm not sure if you're is anyone are you familiar with merge cubes? Yeah, I've seen them and I think a number of us have known who knows merge cubes Yeah, anybody I'll just stop that share just for a moment Uh, so it works with merge cubes. So he's a merge cube add-on that you can get Look, look, Chris. Oh, look at that. Ah, Chris has got one. Nice. Um, so Here's a language one. So this one Let me just add to it. Um, this merge cube is cost about 20 to 30 us dollars if you buy it on on just It's like a little bit like cardboard. It cost it cost peanuts But there's so much Yeah, and to be done and you can if you like if you're really out of total money whatsoever You can download the merge cube patterns from the internet and build it yourself So the the cool thing is with merge cube. You can basically add anything which is AR possible and Yeah, Chris I'll show you an example of that. That is a language one. So this is um, by the way, Chris is at the moment, uh, programming a chatbot for He's our techie here. He's in the U. S. Yeah, so this is uh, We have um talking about Torre Omari. So Omari are our native language here in New Zealand So one of the traditions in there is uh, a mihi or a pepeha So it is uh, traditionally when you meet someone for the first time you introduce yourself So a mihi or a pepeha is a as a formal traditional way of introducing south in Torre Omari And it goes through a certain framework. So it's quite nice as a language Exercise for both students to do there. So I've actually got two versions here. So this one Is a normal co-space pepeha co-space So in Maori culture when you introduce yourself you introduce where you are from and also Who your relations are as part of them? So you just don't rock up and say, hi, I'm Ian and that's it So if we're looking at here, this is a pepeha built into co-spaces. So if we go through here This is a little greeting And it should come through here and through Omari and this is My mountains, this is Mount Kargil So and that's the Maori in here too. And as you look around you can see this is sort of guiding us through on magic rails So there is a tool called a path tool in here. So let's objects follow a path So we can make sort of things in here. So ka ofio ti awa So awa is river or water. So ofio is the name of that. So you're introducing where you're from No, okti poukti or hull. So that means I'm from Dunedin. So okti poukti is te re omari for Dunedin And that shows you where in New Zealand, you know Dunedin is and that's actually 3d Data that's been pulled out of google earth and turned into a 3d model. So you can do that sort of thing Uh, and then here's my parents There we go. So co-edmen, rawa, co-beerl, oku martua So here and then here's me And that is the pepeha here and And that too. So that's a pepeha. That's an introduction going through there. So you've got those four more settings Uh, if I go back and we go here This is the merge cube version. So if you had a merge cube, you could do that and hold it in your hand So of course, I haven't got one here, but you can see here. It's built On each of the sides. So if I push play here, you will get an idea We're hearing it Good. So you can hear that that sound and it's also got the translation in here too He walks like this Yeah, and then you can place all this is Programmed and it's made interactive through here Oh, this is adorable honestly So you can see here. So if I had that merge cube, you know, I'll be able to hold in my hand And Chris asks whether that merge cube space is public because he could Yes, so if you search, um, if you search pepeha on in the gallery, you'll find that And in fact, if we go home here and I go to the gallery You should find both Of those spaces. So if I search pepeha pepeha So you can see both of those versions are there Okay, so spaces And the gallery, you don't have to sign up to co spaces to use the gallery So you would need the app if you wanted to use it on On your phone or something like that But if you're just on your computer, you can go in and play and and look at some of these things in the gallery just Now to see that and then if I type and I think spot the difference And even the merge Cube functionality seems to be attached to a pro version Yes, it is it is an add-on on the pro So could he could Chris spontaneously pull it out or not not now Yes, he can he can view it for free. So he doesn't need to have a pro account to view any space But he couldn't create it. Yeah, that's right. So the pro account's really around creating So anybody whether they don't need accounts to view anything So it's only to create things that you need a co space account But you can see here here's the spot the difference zoo is in the gallery as well So and I think for those I've set them to be remixable As well too. So that means a little bit like scratch. So if you use scratch You can I'll just stop that share now You can remix other people's projects. So if you search through that gallery and you find oh, that would be really useful Or I'd like I go to see a way I could use that And I'm my lessons in my classroom. You can remix those projects and make them your own so yeah So here we go That's sort of a little Taste of a couple of the ways that we're using co spaces and zoom together and partnership to to look at that immersive language learning Is there anything anybody else would like to know or would like to see more? Um You'd like to connect zoom for the voice in order to collaborate in the building as you said The building is collaborative, but the viewing and the using in the end is singular Which which I didn't know okay a single plan, but um, that is still cool because you can get uh students to co co work and um one thing is what I wanted to ask Now it slipped my mind. Sorry. That's all right. No problem Yeah, so that is a feature. I'd really love to see I'm back to the question. So do you also perhaps use discord rather than zoom? No, because uh We're looking at ways that are easy for students to connect to each other. So um, now a lot of students perhaps use discord at home, but We have a national filtering system for schools here So for our school networks, they're all run by a ministry Um, it's it's a really good network and it's nice and fast and stable and everything but we need tools that uh open for Now everybody from really from about a year three upwards. We're looking at that digital collaboration Um from that thing so zoom is really neat because they can sign in with a google account And that's one of the things that's really neat is a lot of our schools are google schools Or a microsoft account or an apple account even now. So As a lot of our schools are cloud based and they're using cloud platforms like google those google microsoft apple It's a it's a neat tool because it makes it easy for them to access And easy for to manage and sign up and things like that too. So some of the other tools From a management point of view, we don't have those sort of oversight that we would have using zoom Anybody else have a question to Ian? They're almost out of time, but we have it. Yeah, we are But yeah, happy when you have to go back to class. Did you actually take uh, I'm happy to To chat for for you know the next no few minutes. That's no problem. Um, I've just got yeah We job to do next and then I'm good but um Can I introduce you also a little bit to the uh, those present here like Susanna is uh at the In island at the university of dcu. Is that correct? No, I'm not sure whether you've changed university in the meantime Dublin city university Um, have I muted you accidentally? I mean not accidentally, but I think no earlier I heard some background noises And I muted a couple of people now. I am sorry. Sorry. I thought they can unmute themselves Anyway, even if I mute them, that's actually one thing that I didn't show you What I will show you is actually sharing spaces and how People know how to get the stuff. So I'll I'll do that quickly So for example this one if I open that Technical university of Dublin. Okay. Yes, I saw that Yeah Chris is in the states. He's at the uh A lot of big university University of florida University of florida. Yeah, no and and we have uh, also not team We have jennifer who's in at the university She's a librarian actually Yeah librarian at the university of Correct me if I'm wrong So Louisiana and Lafayette. Yeah, Louisiana And Else we have people who are working in Edmondo, which is the um India, which is the italian ministry of education research, uh, a virtual world of open sim Quite a few people here Whom else do we have don't I'm not quite sure don't your background to be honest So it's been really nice sharing with you all today So you can see here And this is the gallery page for the spot the different zoo one And I'm here to share that which is public This is what you'd see if you find it But if I choose to share it you can see these are the ways that we can share it So we've got no direct links to it's a social It also generates a qr code which is really handy So I can either put that up on the projector or print that out and put it on the wall And then you just scan it with your ipad your phone your headset whatever you want to do Or you know, he's a direct link that'll go straight to the gallery page So you could send it out however you want But you can also embed it in a website or in an lms or something like that too So now really uh, sure share friendly I'd have to say So that's no no matter what you're using there'll be a way to to put that co-space So it's available for people to use And really neat Well with the It's an esl teacher for an esl institute very good So we have t u dublin And christ did you manage to get the merge cube guy? I did yeah, I pulled it up Just try to If you can that's great. Yeah, that's difficult but I'll try Yeah, give that a go Let's see. Yes, I'll do this safely We'll have to hang on I'll make you spotlight hang on Spotlight video here we go now we can see it all very clear Nice, that is just awesome Awesome awesome awesome Kids just love they love that they love being able to hold it in their hand and and just that whole textile You like the fact is that the little character walks around it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, there's a bird that's flying around too I thought that was pretty fun. Oh Yeah, just those little touches chris. Yeah, it's nice and kids love doing that sort of stuff. It's really neat um So that uses and the both of the pepehas used that path tool so um The in the merge cube version The me the middle man is following the path around the cubes. You've wrapped the path around the cube in fact these multiple paths And then in the sort of original version there's a single path that the camera follows And so you're like on a log ride railway coaster all the coaster sort of Kind of deal. Yeah, and what we love especially and i'm pretty sure Somebody in the audience also is very happy about it to have some primary school toy That is really cool Now i'm going to you know just because you guys are all awesome And I happen to be a co-spaces ambassador. So you can see there in the chat. I put cost in cb So that is a trial code So, you know, if you want to try co-spaces out and you want to try the pro and just measure whether you'd like to stick with basic or pro So if you use that code that will give you 30 days. It'll give you a month Free for full access to everything and also give you a hundred seats rather than the 30 seats the basic um package has So you can try everything. So yeah, go go forward with that. Um and have fun exploring because it's it is um I have to say and I love zoom but and I know there's lots of tools that I use as as part of being a steam facilitator But co-spaces is you know, like my number one tool because There's just so much breadth for using that, you know for for digital technologies science for engineering I had big hopes and I kind of was so intrigued and at one time But I haven't played long around it But just had slowns of it and I had I had really I mean I announced it in a really big way And I'm not disappointed whatsoever at all. I'm so excited. I'm so pleased that you showed us around that And the crystal AR version in the end was just the absolute highlight. Thank you so much Thank you very pleased to share with you all today. It's been a blast. So have fun exploring and Taddock talk in the morning in New Zealand. You're starting your day Starting our day and um, I'll let you go and have your your good night drinks and uh finish your days Thank you so much Ian Actually, it's not just Ian Ian It is it's an Ian, but it's uh, I think it's uh, the Welsh spelling actually I think that one Thank you ever so much That's all right.
