Second Life Group Chat
MLani Montgomery
Hi,I’m M’Lani. Welcome to my home. Today I’d
like to show you a couple of things about using
group chat in Second Life.
Look at the red arrow to the bottom left. This is
the Communicate button. Double click it, and you will get a window. See
the blue arrow.
The blue arrow is now showing you that as I was taking these pictures, one of my groups sent out a SLURL—a Second Life
URL, for an event announcement.
You can see a new tab opened up, and below the text from the IM
(Instant Message) appears in open chat.
If you look closely, you can see the tab says the name of the group: ISTE
—Educational Technology. But the IM below shows the person
who is speaking in the chat room.
These two tabs at the top of my Communication window are for Friends and Groups. I have the
Friends tab opened, and I see the people I know who are online now.
Now I have my group tabs open, and all the groups I belong to are shown. You can see I have selected BSU TL Summer 09, our class
group.
If I were to double click on this group, a new chat
tab would appear up. Touching that tab would
open that chat room.
Like this. Now I have an open channel to
everyone in class who happens to be online.
When I type here and hit “enter” or the “Send” key
here in the window, everyone in class online
will get the same message. We can all talk at once no matter where
we are.
I can have multiple chats going on in IM. Here you see I have a tab for Miss Annie, Alan, and the BSU
class all open at once.
The far left tab, Contacts, takes me back to look at
either my friends or groups lists.
I hope pointing out these features will help in our
field trip communications. Let me know how I can
improve this presentation. Thank you!
