Up and running in Cyberspace (c), finally!
I started a virtual high school role-play community for college and career exploration in 1998, named Harrington City. It was just after Winter Break, and those young men and women in my standard level senior English class were not about to start the last months of public school by reading another novel! I had taught shop on and off for six years, and was much inspired all along by Eliot Wigginton and his Foxfire (c) project in Redburn Gap, Georgia: my interpretation was: have your students make a study of their immediate world, following their God-given hearts' desires, and their drive to acquire adult vocational competencies, and the curriculum will be served. The results have been -- without exception -- spectacular, awesome.
