Project Overview

Welcome to the Green2Sky project.  Brendon came to me a few days ago asking me to be a mentor for his graduation project, a requirement for graduation in the state of North Carolina.  His initial thoughts were to build a vertical greenhouse in Second Life.  With my heart being in virtual worlds and their use in education, I was so excited to have this opportunity.  Currently, I am the technology facilitator in Brendon's school and also co-own (with Mo HaxEDTECH Retreat, an island in Second Life for educators to relax and let the learning follow.  Due to the fact that we have the island available, we are allowing Brendon to work on his build there and welcoming anyone to stop in at any time to see his progress.
Brendon and I are meeting daily at this point to discuss details of his project.  Our meetings so far have been about the main focus including how detailed he needs/wants to be and what areas he needs to research. Brendon had an opportunity yesterday to meet Mo Hax in person who will be helping quite extensively with this project.  We are also using many social networking tools, including this blog, to pull all facets of this project together and share our progress with the world.  We encourage anyone to share comments, post resources and cheer Brendon on as he continues his work.  We want input from the public as much as possible and look forward to hearing your responses.
