This is an awesome website. You can become a student and join a school, you can join a school to become a teacher, or you can start your own school and recruit your own students and teachers. You can join districts. This web 2.0 tool states that it has over 95,000 members and it is growing fast. This site contains every academic area that you would find in a traditional school. Each school has its own administration, facility, and parent participation. This is a way for anyone to start a virtual school. This is a good opportunity for certified teachers to become entrepreneurs in the field they know best, “education”. The site is easy to use and it has many video tutorials to guide you through the process. I also see this as a way to offer web 2.0 content to augment regular classroom instructions.
Great tool - minimum psst 300 words. Are you actually using this in your classroom? Would love to hear how it goes if you do:)
