Re: Disrupting Class Virtual School

Yin and Yang.

This is the Yin to Peter Gow's post yesterday titled "Disrupting Class
Virtual School." (see below)

Yesterday Peter created a wiki focused on envisioning a bricks & mortar
independent school circa 2019.

I've created a wiki called Virtual Disrupting Academy focused on
envisioning a collaborative non-profit virtual "school" for providing
online learning opportunities to students at independent schools.

The url is: http://sites.google.com/site/virtualdisruptingacademy/

So when you need a little break from the holiday break, to quote Peter ...
"Please feel free to explore the site and mess around with the very sparse
seed content I have put up to get things going."

Happy holidays,

Fred
