10:57 itsyvonneb : They really have an eye for design...at least the kind of design I like
;)
10:58 CharlieTPLC : Yeah, They really do have some great ideas (especially in the
details)
10:58 GingerTPLC1 : Each of these groups have a very different leadership style
10:59 CharlieTPLC : When we get to implementation these guys will be integral in
putting in place some of the detail work.
11:00 ustreamer30912 : Yes, they will help make it fashionable.
11:00 CharlieTPLC : sterilized at least ;)
11:01 GingerTPLC1 : Will have to have them tell you why this faucet light is so
important here.
11:01 itsyvonneb : did this group do any sketchups? I really would love to see their
vision all put together.
11:02 CharlieTPLC : I would have too, there were some issues with them getting the
sketchup going I think.
11:02 RebeccaTPLC : Why did they have everyone switch rooms for?
11:02 itsyvonneb : ok...thanks
11:02 GingerTPLC1 : I'll ask, Rebecca
11:03 RebeccaTPLC : thankyou
11:09 Kevin1819 : OMG!
11:09 GingerTPLC1 : You all will not be able to see this model as well
11:09 itsyvonneb : wow...
11:09 Kevin1819 : These kids are rockin the software
11:09 itsyvonneb : it's still pretty impressive
11:10 itsyvonneb : even though we can't see it all that well
11:10 GingerTPLC1 : glass top! In the lunch/science room!
11:11 GingerTPLC1 : These guys took a risk NOT using SketchUp, but I'm really glad
they did.
11:11 GingerTPLC1 : Team is three 8th graders, two 5th graders. All boys.

chemicals ;)
11:12 GingerTPLC1 : am I seeing skylights?
11:12 Kevin1819 : Suck a different aesthetic!
11:12 Kevin1819 : such
11:12 GingerTPLC1 : This kid NEVER presented in previous years. He flat refused, so
I'm SO glad to see him up and going!!
11:13 Kevin1819 : He's rockin
11:13 CharlieTPLC : I think the skylights are the normal florescent lights we already
have... and yeah, he's doing a GREAT job!
11:13 GingerTPLC1 : OMG!! If you look out the window of that room, they've even put
the HOUSES and trees in across the street!
11:14 CharlieTPLC : WOW... that's attention to detail!
11:16 Kevin1819 : I'm lovin those glass top tables
11:16 GingerTPLC1 : I hope they're tempered! I don't want them ruined by one
misfortunatlydropped rock!
11:18 Kevin1819 : Did I see that Sutherlands is donating paint?
11:18 CharlieTPLC : When we were practicing on Friday, this kid just whipped up the
sums (using formulas) before we knew he didn't have it summed to start with...
impressive
11:21 GingerTPLC1 : Questions?
11:23 RebeccaTPLC : Why wood and not tile?
11:24 RebeccaTPLC : But there is grooves in the wood and things get stuck in there
11:24 RebeccaTPLC : it is hard to clean
11:24 ustreamer69294 : Tile would require an underlayment! Wood would not!
11:25 GingerTPLC1 : actually, this wood floor snaps tight, but they don't know that.
11:25 RebeccaTPLC : oh
11:26 ustreamer69294 : There actually might already be wood underneath that could
simply be refinished!
11:27 Kevin1819 : They say it's plywood
11:27 GingerTPLC1 : We pulled back carpet and there's just subflooring. This group
didn't, but another did.
11:31 ustreamer56185 : This group of students is one 8th grader, two 7th graders, one
6th grader, and one 5th grader
11:32 Kevin1819 : Beautiful fully rendered Google Sketchup modeling
11:32 itsyvonneb : absolutely gorgeous.
11:32 GingerTPLC1 : this has been TOP secret for this group
11:32 CharlieTPLC : They did a SPECTACULAR JOB!
11:33 itsyvonneb : I am really in love with Valerie's room.
11:33 GingerTPLC1 : they also handed out a folder with budget, furniture, links, etc.
Can all be found online.
11:33 CharlieTPLC : I like my 3d model so much, I have it as my desktop background.
11:33 CharlieTPLC : I love that each table in the lunch room has a microwave.
11:35 GingerTPLC1 : the violet color at first shocked me, but I like the combo with the
blue and grey. Very calming.
11:36 GingerTPLC1 : Wait. Did they go over budget $400?
11:36 ustreamer30912 : I like my room, it looks cool. :)
11:36 ustreamer30912 : That is what I wanted.
11:36 RebeccaTPLC : it looks good
11:37 GingerTPLC1 : I also want to reemphasize this project was COMPLETELY
studentdirected. Teachers made suggestions, but ultimately it was up to them.
11:37 ustreamer30912 : I think most of the rooms did a great job of taking into
consideration what each teacher liked.
11:37 ustreamer30912 : I mean groups.
11:37 Kevin1819 : Lovin the slideshow of Google Sketchup scenes
11:37 RebeccaTPLC : And they took inconsideration of what each person wanted.
11:42 ustreamer69294 : In this plan...the power was located 1st before the work
spaces were laid out (Gingers Room)
11:43 brendam7574 : I like that they planned with a little extra padding!
11:44 GingerTPLC1 : @brandam: very important.
11:45 CharlieTPLC : Well done introducing each member.
11:45 GingerTPLC1 : this is a "before" view of our space.
11:45 GingerTPLC1 : I wonderis that on their wiki page?
11:45 itsyvonneb : yes, it is
11:45 GingerTPLC1 : yay!
11:46 itsyvonneb : They embedded the Youtube video in their slideshow on the wiki...I
need to learn how to do this stuff!!
11:46 GingerTPLC1 : The fire marshall and I have come to loggerheads before! ;
11:47 GingerTPLC1 : The YouTube vid was in their Google Preso, then they simply
embedded the preso into the wiki.
11:47 itsyvonneb : Cool.
11:47 GingerTPLC1 : LOVE this layout of graphs!
11:47 Kevin1819 : Nice looking budget page
11:47 itsyvonneb : Me too...a picture is worth a thousand words
11:48 GingerTPLC1 : wonder where they got this?
11:48 GingerTPLC1 : Numbers?
11:48 ustreamer30912 : I like that they have the before pictures.
11:48 CharlieTPLC : yup... and they used bar and circle
11:48 ustreamer30912 : It helps those not there everyday to get a feel for the space.
11:48 brendam7574 : I didn't see the other presos but I like how they dressed nicely to
present
11:48 CharlieTPLC : they used Numbers for this
11:49 GingerTPLC1 : the other teams were encouraged to do before/after, but that's
what you get when teams are studentdirected. The feedback from the outside sources
will be vital in the kids learning this lesson.
11:50 GingerTPLC1 : MUCH nicer than sitting/laying on the floor!!
11:50 CharlieTPLC : Nice lookin' comfy spot
11:50 brendam7574 : love the carpet!
11:51 GingerTPLC1 : mee too! I LOVE their plan for my room! Actually, I like nearly all
of the plans for my room. :D
11:51 Kevin1819 : Likin this group's work
11:52 GingerTPLC1 : "catch a glimpse"
11:52 GingerTPLC1 : This group worked really well together.
11:52 RebeccaTPLC : same here and the last group as well
11:52 brendam7574 : very organized presentation!
11:52 GingerTPLC1 : Caylie has a nice leadership style.
11:52 GingerTPLC1 : 5th grader running peers! ;)
11:52 RebeccaTPLC : that is awesome
11:53 GingerTPLC1 : fun chairs! I wonder if they're comfortable?
11:53 CharlieTPLC : I love the red drop chairs!
11:53 Kevin1819 : LOVE the cardboard model!
11:53 brendam7574 : love the music notes!!!
11:53 Kevin1819 : I want a red drop chair!
11:53 JenniferTPLC7199 : I love their design! So much fun!
11:54 GingerTPLC1 : I wonder if they're soft.
11:54 Kevin1819 : Nice simulation of the painting corner
11:54 brendam7574 : are the drop chairs like bean bag chairs?
11:54 GingerTPLC1 : Don't know. We'll ask.
11:54 GingerTPLC1 : I think Valerie, the virtual director, was the ONLY teacher who
gave the same plan to all the kids.
11:55 ustreamer30912 : I tried
11:55 itsyvonneb : They look like hard plastic in the pic
11:55 GingerTPLC1 : I think everyone else gave out LOTS of ideas!
11:55 GingerTPLC1 : confusing for some of the groups, but it's real life!
11:55 GingerTPLC1 : She runs that Mac like she owns it!
11:55 ustreamer30912 : I gave the same information, but still received variance in
design
11:55 CharlieTPLC : I know I had many different (contrasting) ideas that I gave
11:56 GingerTPLC1 : Good!
11:56 ustreamer30912 : It is neat to see how they took those same ideas and put their
personality into it.
11:56 CharlieTPLC : some of the groups are likely to have better ideas than I would
have for arranging the room ;)
11:56 RebeccaTPLC : You can fine the paint sample Breathtaking at SherwinWilliams.
11:56 itsyvonneb : This is a closeup pic of the drop chair:
11:56 itsyvonneb : http://tinyurl.com/dhkkqu
11:57 brendam7574 : thanks itsy!
11:57 Kevin1819 : I like their combination of software and old school paper.
11:58 Kevin1819 : There was a lot of thinking that is evident here
11:58 GingerTPLC1 : The girls started with the paper first, since the kid doing the
SketchUp was learning it.
11:58 GingerTPLC1 : They made models of every room, but changed them as they
went, so dropped the paper models.
11:58 GingerTPLC1 : they included rugs and everything
11:59 Kevin1819 : Wow!
11:59 brendam7574 : Wow! These girls are connected already!
12:00 ustreamer30912 : I think they did the best job outlining the budget.
12:00 CharlieTPLC : wow... They thought of some pretty specific details!
12:01 ustreamer30912 : Ginger they all did a great job.
12:02 RebeccaTPLC : What an awesome job they did!!!!
12:02 itsyvonneb : *virtual standing ovation*
12:02 brendam7574 : *clap, clap clap*
12:02 JenniferTPLC7199 : Way to Go!
