The kids never cease to astound us. In response to your question, the teacher, Diane Whiting, is one of my pioneer teachers who worked in SL last year. She asked me for a quick refresher at the beginning of the unit, and I team taught the first few days as I always insist on giving any new classes the "pep-talk" I definitely get on my soapbox and explain to them that a great responsibility comes along with being the first middle school in SL. I also explain the rules-behavior, where they can build, no littering, dress code and "sletiquette". This year's 8th grade class are SO into SL because all they could do last year was watch the "big kids" work. often I would have "bands" of kids standing behind the lab are in the library watching the overhead screen and they were wide-eyed and envious...So, now that they are the "big kids" they are all over it!

I had a question about who was "running SL" during the units. Since this unit was taught by the health/phys-ed teacher, was she running SL with the students? How many teachers do you have inworld now? I love how this unit turned out. I had a question about who was “running SL” during the units.
