Anyone who grabbed snapshots, I would greatly appreciate you dropping them to Maggie Marat in world so that I amy post a few here.

Please remember - we are the pioneers - truly! How many people get to say that in their lifetime, they made a difference - they changed the status quo - they positively influenced something as powerful as pedagogy - they touched the future?
We can.

That was an incredible experience listening to your presentation. I was a bit late but I saw enough to know that I want to be a part of what you do.
Thanks for sharing!!
Peggy,
Your presentation eloquently communicated the power, scope, relevance and beauty of your work. The incredible variety of lessons, the creativity (and capability) of your students, the amazing island build (donated completely by talented volunteers) is a testament to your vision.
Most importantly, your ability to enthusiastically SHARE that vision with your administrators, fellow staff, all of us, and the world at large is what will transform this project from something cool at a middle school in New York into something with the potential to change the world.
How cool is THAT?!?!?!?

I've been thinking all day about what you are doing with your students. I have had many interesting discussions with colleagues about it. SL is hard to describe, I think one has to experience it to understand. I have only been on SL for one week and, so far, have found it to be absolutely fascinating. I cannot help but imagine the possibilities with students.
Thanks for sharing your journey. I will absolutely stay tuned!
