[vwc] Global Kids soft launches educators program in TSL
Global Kids has soft launched our new educators program in Teen Second Life aptly called Virtual World Campus.
Some of the details were posted in a recent SLED forums post,
Global Kids and Firesabre are creating a Teen Second Life Virtual World Campus that will make it far easier for educators to use Second Life. Up to now there's been a steep learning curve, and high minimum costs.1 - There's no need to buy a private island from Linden Lab to create an education area for teens.
2 - Educators can rent or buy land parcels for projects.
3 - Firesabre handles much of the interaction with Linden Lab.
4 - Firesabre associates are available to provide answers and assistance.

Comment from John Krueger (Bodo Hammerer) Time: June 12, 2007, 8:25 pmI was wondering if anyone had any feedback on this. I have written Fred but have not heard back from him. I know he is probably overloaded with emails. Have others found out more about this project? Thanks

Let me see what I can find out! I’ve not heard much since the announcement either but I know they are working feverishly. I’ll post back soon!
