At the first Floor of the Main Building (and at the Wharf) you can find a slide show presentation about Within Ten Years.
The slide show has been scripted in a way to show pictures without rez-delay. Soon the script will be available for educators and innovators.
Today Terrence Linden (one of the education employees of Linden Lab) visited Within Ten Years. Half Short, the designer of our education & innovation island gave him a guided tour. He was impressed about all the work that has been done, and, about our creativity and innovative tools and methods.
Some applications at Within Ten Years automatically send a Tweet at the WTY Twitter account when something has been changed.
The Racks at the library, the Profession of the Future and the Interactive Roadmap tweet when someone has added an entry.
The Library Rack about Twitter at the Wharf is out of the beta stage yet. Soon there will be new Racks added, like Blogs, Lifestreams, Videoclips, Edutools and so on. When you have any ideas or wishes for Rack-themes, please let us know.
The Co-Creation-Libray racks now determine if you are close enough to add an entry via chat. When you are out of the 20m chat range, you will be noticed to stand closer or to shout the messages.
Last week lots of work has been done to create a "co-creation-library". The Within Ten Years Library is situated at the Wharf. It has the form of a tree with apple-racks hanging at it, and surrounding it. Every rack will get its own information-theme.
Tomorrow a beta-version of the first rack will be operational: the TWITTER Rack. At this rack you can add your own favorite twitter accounts of which you think they are important for educators and/or students to follow. When a rack is full (16 entries per rack) and you like to add a new entry at the same rack, the last one (the 16th) will be removed.
To make a rack even more dynamic, you can promote an entry and so giving it a higher rank. But you cant promote at the same rack consecutively. 
An example of Scenario Role Play has been published and designed. You can find it at the Innovate Sector, Arena 3.
With the Scenario Role Play one can have one or more role plays in different futures and/or circumstances. The scenarios that are used for this way of innovation development are the same as those which are used at the Four Futures Contest (Adventure, Budget, Comfort and Durable). The scenarios are developed on human behaviour so you can use them for every future or innovation creativity you like.
At the Wharf of Within Ten Years there has been built a Library. But... Within Ten Years would not be Within Ten Years if it wouldn't be a very innovative Library.
At the Library you can't find cupboard full of books. Instead of this, Within Ten Years has chosen for an approach that fits in the whole concept. The Library has been shaped like a "Tree of Knowledge". You will not find any book, but apples. Apples of knowledge. Racks of apples hang in the tree. Climb the apple boxes to walk around the tree.
It will take a couple of days to tweak the latest visuals and scripts. And a lot more time to fill the apples with information, so help us with this.
Write you own story with exactly five pictures and five short texts. That's what you can do with the new educational and innovation tool at Within Ten Years. Make a story of an innovation or an educational subject, add your text in a historical or future perspective.
The PictureStory can be found at the second floor of the Main Building.
Co-Compass, the collaboration game for innovation workshops is ready for usage. Only a little visual work on four buttons has to be done. Then it will be transferred to Arena 1 of the Innovate Sector of Within Ten Years.
First steps are made in developing a new tool: Co-Compass. It supports employees in how to make steps in collaboration. Starting with the reasons why their organizations (or departments) they work their way upto the actions they should do to collaborate.
The rules of the tool and the visuals (thank you Half Short) are already done. The "only" thing to be done is the scripting :-)
The Innovation Dialogue Game has been copied and changed into an Organization Dialogue Game. The way you play it, is the same as the Innovation Dialogue, but now the players take the role of an organization in stead of an innovation.
You can find the Organization Dialogue at Arena2 in the Innovate sector.
