- Peggy, regarding your suggestion to Azwaldo re the panel at the Coffee House.... is there a place in ISTE where panels are up that give info and link to other sites around SL? I ask because our Museum of Philosophy is building a wall of links to key philosophy sites in SL, and we could put a link to ISTE, and we're wondering if we can get one back - whether there is a place that does this. May I ask - do you know if this is happening beyond your panel display? Thanks, Georgio Monentes

Cheers

Show Me the Learning...
This September will mark the beginning of the third year for Ramapo Central Schools to support learning on our estates in Teen SL, Ramapo Islands. Year one we were really just finding our way - seeing what worked and what didn't. At the end of the year we were excited to see our expectations, in terms of engagement and investment, confirmed, but also started to examine some benefits of the participatory culture that we had not anticipated.
