I run the largest virtual high school in Saskatchewan Canada and would be interested in exploring the possibility of creating and working with some other schools around the world in this venue. However I am new to this and would need some help on how to proceed.

We would like to be an island in your world. School has just started for us and my year ten technology would begin building and other classes would come on board if we can become involved.

I work for a Bronx middle school, NY, from Australia - a crazy but fantastic partnership. This school has made tremendous leaps forward in their use of technology, but they have not explored Second Life yet (although I had the pleasure of joining Peggy Sheehy from Suffern for dinner during my last trip to NY).
I'd really like to talk to a few teachers about getting involved. Please keep us in mind.

There needs to be away for educators to visit and see what is going on without having to initially commit to something. Give them some time to see the possibilities. We tend to be might busy you see.

[Westley Field]

Unfortunately the process of letting and getting people in is so time consuming that we can't afford the time for people to visit and look around. This would also require police checks etc, that is why the initiative is safe. The best place for a glimpse at what we do is via the blog. Soon we will have a main grid presence where we will host information evenings etc

I also am interested in Skoolaborate but need more information. I work for a private Catholic laptop high school. I am in SL and working with other educators on multiple projects.
