Whether people want to explore virtual worlds or not they are becoming apart of the learning and development of high school students. This is a generation that will shape and change our world in the next 4-6 years.

Here in Greensboro, North Carolina there are programs being developed to introduce education virtually, by developing a virtual high school/ On "RezEd", the source for all things Virtual, they posted a story on "Avatars Enhance the Language Learning Experience" written by Laura Jacob of McGuffey High School; and the list goes on and on.

There are companies and organizations such as Cisco, IBM, Library Aliance and others that have found this form of media to be beneficial to their business, growth and development locally, nationally and internationally.

I've taken a personal interest in developing a forum and space for folks that enjoy all things creative. This includes Art, Music and Poetry.

If you are interested in learning more about virtual worlds and transforming your static network into a realtime social network, locally, nationally and internationally let's connect.

Poetry Initiative - The Poet's Brain

These maker of versus audible melodic flow are captured by the creative minds at the Poet's Brain. Here is an excerpt from an upcoming video project. See how the Arts Council in your city and state can utilize virtual worlds to shape the future of Poetry!
