Invitation to Peer Centered
I APOLOGIZE FOR THE REPOST, BUT I HAVE BEEN TOLD
THAT THE FIRST MESSAGE CAME THROUGH BLANK.
You are cordially invited to Peer Centered: an online writing tutor
forum's. Inaugural Bash. Peer Centered is an ongoing forum for
and about writing tutoring. Anyone interested in tutoring writing
may participate, although we hope to make the forums a space for
peer-to-peer discussion. This forum is primarily conducted in a
MOO--a real time "chat" program for want of better terms, but we
have developed a web site gives that time-constrained forum more
permanence. This web site is located at
http://www.slcc.edu/wc/peercentered/index.html .
The Bash will be held at VWCMOO's Virtual Moki Canyon Beach
(see the web page for log in instructions) on Oct 7 at 8/7/6/5 pm
EDT/CDT/MDT/PDT (1:00 am GMT). Since this will be Peer
Centered's first official gathering, it seems prudent to make it more
social than issue oriented. This Bash will let us get to know one
another, allow us to find out where we work and what our tutoring
locales are like. Such an event will allow us to become more
comfortable talking with each other, and will be useful practice for
those unfamiliar with MOOs and MOOing.
What better place to hold such a bash than on a beach?
VWCMOO, the host, has a lovely lakeside beach complete with a
buffet, a bar, and, for those inclined to trip the virtual light fantastic,
a dance floor. You can also go for a dip in the lake, or go water-
skiing behind a maniacally driven boat. For those who wish to
conduct more serious conversations without being interrupted by
partying fools, there will be other areas of the MOO that you may
visit to talk.
See the instructions on the web page
(http://www.slcc.edu/wc/peercentered/index.html) to register and
log in to VWCMOO. Once on VWC, to get to Moki Canyon beach
from the VWC Plaza, go through the Writer's Cafe to the
Conversation Lanai. You will see an exit to the beach from the
lanai. Black tie virtual.
See you at the beach!
