How
to Use Tables In the Classroom in ScienceMOO
- Click on the Classroom 2
- You
have now entered a classroom. If you look at the decription of the
classroom, you will see that there are tables in the room.
- Click the radio button next to "normal" in the lower left.
Now type the
command to sit at a table. For example, if you wanted to sit at table2,
type
- Now
you are seated at a table. The reason we use tables in ScienceMOO is
that it reduces the chaos when we are doing a small group discussion
activity. The "normal" radio button is still checked. You can chat with
everyone else at your table only while you are seated by typing the
word 'say' followed by any text you want to type. You need to hit the
enter key before others will see your chat. Remember: the word "say"
always has to precede any text you type when you are chatting.
- If
you want to speak to the instructor, or to the whole class you have two
options: 1) You can use the 'speakup' command, i.e. type
- speakup hey there everyone in the class, this is an
announcement that everyone can see
- OR you can stand and then just type 'say' followed by your
text, i.e.
- stand
- say hey there everyone in the class, this is an
announcement that everyone can see
- Hopefully
by now you are comfortable sitting and standing (make sure the 'normal'
radio button is checked) and you know how to chat. You just have to
make sure that the word 'say' is in front of everything. you can type
in 'say' when the 'normal radio button is checked' or if you check the
'say' radio button, the word 'say' is automatically typed for you.
