Here is my question.

Here is my question. I'm collecting data on people's attitudes toward social media and it occurs to me that the only good thing about G+ shutting down is that we might be able to get some anecdotal data out of it. So here is a question meant to elicit such data :-)

How will the loss of G+ Communities impact you? What are you losing from your professional life with its demise? What will you miss most? What did you like most about G+C's or what will be hardest to replace?

Any comments you can make here along these lines will be appreciated and might help us understand tangentially how important social media is in our professional lives.

the server seems to be down (has been for while I think, based on the satellite view page)

As I am planning for the TESOL conference, I re-visited the WordPress page that Mircea Patrascu has backed up for our group. Thank you so much, Mircea! I hope we transfer this year's posts there as well. I can help after I get back to Taipei on the 18th. I like Vance's post "Keep calm. It's almost time to say goodbye," but I'm not ready to say goodbye to our G+ community! https://evomc143864209.wordpress.com/

Hi all.

Hi all. As the clock counts down on the demise of this marvelous home for our community, many of us are actively considering where we should move to. If you have any thoughts on the best all-in-one home for our continued sharing and discussion, please add them here. If you'd like to talk it over live, you can meet us in Discord at 1300 UTC on March 1. It might be fun and appropriate to pop into Minecraft while we're at it, if that's not too distracting, though the focus would be on the discussion. Meanwhile, there's more information here, http://missions4evomc.pbworks.com/2019_Live_Events

Final reminder on your feedback to the EVO Coordinating team on your perceptions of this session and others you may have participated in. If you participated in EVOMC19 please fill in the form here. Your response will become a part of the annual report from EVO to the TESOL committee concerned at the annual conference in Atlanta in March.

If you have already filled in a feedback form, thank you, and we hope you enjoyed EVOMC19 at whatever level you chose to participate.

By the way, a couple of days ago when I was running around by myself in the desert, the stats from the potato picking task were still being displayed on the screen. There was no one else online at the time.

I'm trying to create a word puzzle and/or scavenger hunt using clickable signs but the command is not working.

I'm trying to create a word puzzle and/or scavenger hunt using clickable signs but the command is not working.

I found out that there is a clickable sings functionality in the Essentials mod so I'm thinking that this may be the reason the commands are not working. Another thing is that under Essentials they have to be enabled in the files.

Aaron Schwartz could you enable it for me please?

Could someone explain how Dak did his "in flight" recording during my extreme survival adventure?

Could someone explain how Dak did his "in flight" recording during my extreme survival adventure? I'd like to capture some of this 3rd person observer perspective video for subsequent analysis.

I still have the three 1st person recordings made by Jane, Mattie, and Emanual (Rose) during last year's EVOMC session, but I've had a hard time getting them precisely sync'ed and the resulting combined file size has been huge. I still think there is something analytically important to be gleaned from 1st person video, but since conversation analysts usually work with 3rd person ("god perspective") video recordings, maybe I should start with that.

Dak's video was great, but because we were such an unruly mob running all over he had to move around a lot. Also there were too many voices and too many different conversations going on a one to be usable for my CA purposes.

Ideal would be to record (from a more or less fixed location slightly above the participants) interaction during a building activity with at most 3 participants.

Hi Mircea Patrascu

Hi Mircea Patrascu . I've been thinking about the discussions of this year's sessions and G+ shutting down. Are the discussions being pulled automatically into blogger or will you have to do that manually again?

How do I turn off email notifications?

How do I turn off email notifications? I thought I have found the right place under notifications and toggled the two switches there, but I'm still getting an email every time anyone posts.

Several times during yesterday's play session I "was transported" (vs. "transported myself") suddenly to a new locale. In effect I was yanked out of what I was doing and who I was doing it with. This was very disorienting and disconcerting. At first, I thought this might be a glitch in the game, but I think it may have been Mattie using his "magic" on me. Later in the game he asked if Michiyo and I wanted to visit his diamond mine and when we said yes we were immediately zapped there.

I think I would prefer that this not be an option. We can already teleport to another player's location...even without the tpa request...which I also find disconcerting. Maybe I value my privacy too highly. : ) .

I noticed that "no one" has registered, as of Jan.

I noticed that "no one" has registered, as of Jan. 10th... with only a few days to go... (including someone with the initials DR) :O When I went to fill out the form I perhaps uncovered a "contributing factor" (?)

from page 5/17 of the syllabus...
"Mission 2 - Complete your enrollment in EVO Minecraft MOOC 2019
The most important mission is to ENROLL in the course by filling in the Google form at
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdDRVdJqCoQ9Bw36lZvk6M3nVp_-W4CCATSo3DLSd2tU07SyQ/viewform
Same link, shorter more memorable URL: https://tinyurl.com/evomc19-register

Here you provide us your Minecraft username so we can whitelist you on our server
Enrollment is not complete until you submit this form
(meaning, you won’t be able to play, I mean learn with us at our Minecraft server whose IP address is mc.evomc.net)."

Ask me how how long it took me to find the link for the "most important mission"? (and I knew what I was looking for) :)

Could/should we perhaps move this somewhere more prominent and give it more "spotlight" or emphasis? (at this point my inner chicken little is channeling 72 point bold red Century Headline, but that's just me)

Also I have heard at least one person filling in the form, whose name did not appear in the output data... do we possibly have previous years registrations forms available?

In-game problems: Can't open crafting tables, chests, furnaces.

In-game problems: Can't open crafting tables, chests, furnaces. Can't use most tools or "eat." Some problems going to previously set home points. Doors and trapdoors work but the game is basically unplayable.

The evomc.net URL currently points to this google plus page. I was wondering if I should redirect it elsewhere. e.g. -- should it direct to the discord page?...set up a new wordpress or wiki?

I think this deserves a new thread: where will newcomers to our server spawn, and what support services can we provide them there? It doesn't need to be elaborate, but we should discuss it here by first week in January.

Dak, is this massive structure your handiwork?

Dak, is this massive structure your handiwork? It certainly looks like your epic style. If so, is this to be part of EVO-MC19?

Is the EVO MCs server up and running again?

Don Carroll asks how to make simple gameplay videos like the one I published earlier.

Don Carroll asks how to make simple gameplay videos like the one I published earlier. Here is a video I made recently explaining how I got OBS Studio up and running on my new laptop. This is part of an ongoing project I have been working on whereby I remember how to use OBS, forget how, and then recall the steps by making tutorials for myself, mainly. This video follows presentations I have made teaching colleagues about OBS and which I keep dabbling with here, https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/12KL1390JLzBsopdsMLMi6ZHNC23CEzT2biNp0mCOV3M/edit?usp=sharing. Hope this helps address your extreme technological ignorance as it does mine :-)
