Congratulations to Gwyneth Jones, "The Daring Librarian," for having been selected the "Blog-o'-the-Month" at the ISTE Island Bloggers Hut in Second Life! Her blog is not only interesting and informative, but fun as well! For the entire month of August, visit the Bloggers Hut for the regularly updated RSS feed and keep up to date with Gwyneth's adventures in learning and teaching from a librarian's point of view. Why should you visit it in Second Life when you can just google it and read it online? Well, because you never KNOW who's going to show up on ISTE Island to chat. I've made so many good friends amongst educators I never would have otherwise met that it's a staple of my work week to drop into Second Life, either just at ISTE Headquarters or to the Bloggers Hut, which I have maintained for over two years, and see who's there. Try it!
I'll flesh out this post with the nominees for September later, all of whom represent virtual schools and their opportunities for learning and teaching!
Cheers,
Scott

From my recent announcement on Facebook about my new position, with thanks
Scott Merrick That's done. Resigned from USN, accepted the new MNPS "Virtual Learning Curriculum Specialist" position. After teaching elementary school for 14 and a half years, change is in the air.
I largely owe my PLN and all my colleagues for this exciting new opportunity to build a virtual school like no other. On we go.
