Plan for the President

On Wednesday, we present to our school president, Dr. Zeiss. We had some grand plans originally, which were scuttled by the lack of an island. SL is so backlogged they are predicting we might get ours about mid-December. The meeting is only 15 minutes long, so it needs to be short and sweet.

Here's what I'm envisioning, and pitched to Rod (our dean):

We meet in a classroom (should it be 5122 or 5123?):
-I'll work the podium and so have the overhead, with my own login
-Dr. Zeiss will use his, but either Rod or Jean will sit next to him to help where necessary
-We'll have a couple students in the room, as well as in another room.
-Farhad and Alberto will be in the other room or their offices.
-I will have skype, piped thru the room system, and each other person that can will have it. We'll meet in world, and then get the skype conversation going.
-We'll have a quick chat in some central location - either the CPCC Futures site, or the SGD site, and then go on a quick tour:
-- Reuters news service, specifically the building and the topical meeting areas
-- SDSU campus, showing the role-playing, and then the building

After that, it could go a LOT of different directions, but we have little time, and a lot to show. Rod's keen to show the classroom interaction, so assuming we have no more time, the thing to do would be to go to a virtual classroom.
-so where's the best, at present? Edunation island? Black Library - there's a sloodle demo in the corner there...

Within this class, we have limited time, but we should work to do at least the following:
-demonstrate raising hands
-demonstrate a slideshow
-demonstrate giving out something (like when a box is passed out)
-demonstrate giving inventory
-demonstrate writing and giving out a notecard
-demonstrate a link to a website (if not done already at this point)
-demonstrate giving a small payment (attaboy)
-mention things like attendance, and how we don't want to replace things that work well in RL.

So that's the plan, man. Feel free to chime in, or help.
