		<description>Barbara,
I looked back, and see I spent time talking about why I made the game, but really only mentioned the game in my post http://bookwyrmish.edublogs.org/2007/02/01/can-i-have-a-simulated-virtual-reality-to-go/  I&#039;m glad you pointed that out!
It was a simple game and I will write it up once I get a &#039;mo.

But for now, the basic concept was to teach my students to choose &quot;avoiding,&quot; &quot;evading,&quot; &quot;confronting,&quot; &quot;distracting,&quot; or &quot;reporting,&quot; and to practice as many possible responses to scripts of  &quot;friendly chat.&quot; We did it as small group work, and I gave each team a group of cards labelled &quot;avoid&quot; &quot;evade&quot; etc. and  scripts that represented the beginning of  conversations.  They were to decide which response cards would work in the situation, and then write as many responses as they might use (I gave them several minutes for that). After, we read responses and gave out points for things like the &quot;most kind&quot; and &quot;goofiest&quot; and &quot;most prolific&quot; teams.

(We first practiced identifying each of the response types before we began the game, by having them try and label some entertaining examples.)
Hope that helps, and thanks again!</description>

		<description>Hi
Thanks for reminding me about &quot;paper blogs&quot;. I am also interested in your chat activity but I looked around your site and couldn&#039;t find it. Can you add a link in this post or add it to the classroom 2.0 wiki?
Thanks</description>

		<description>[...] Sue Rockwood at the &#8220;No Matter, There&#8221; blog has had a go at the paper blogging activity, adding her own ideas to the activity such as a &#8220;blog board&#8221; which makes for a colourful and interactive display.  Her own insights into why paper-based simulations serve as a useful tool in demonstrating and explaining technology concepts, and her own ideas (e.g. for a paper-based &#8220;safe chat&#8221; simulation), are worth reading, and it&#8217;s great to hear her feedback on how the activity went for her classes.
