Through the miracle of Skype we had an impromptu conversation with Margaret Corbit today. Margaret's online profile is here http://www.tc.cornell.edu/~corbitm/
She has been involved with long running projects such as The VLearn3D Initiative which began in 1998 as part of the Contact Consortium to address the current trends and needs of educators who are developing, adopting and pioneering virtual environments for education.

Margaret shared her experiences with her projects which are focused on K-12 learners of science and social studies. We are delighted to tell you that her team has a demonstration site set up using Active Worlds and she has offered to take us exploring!
We will be embarking on our journey April 16th
