Introduction...

Welcome to MetaVersEd Ltd! My name is Peggy Sheehy and I hope to serve the education community with consulting services in the proposal, design, creation, and implementation of meaningful K-12 curriculum in MUVEs; specifically Teen Second Life.
I will strive to address all issues pertaining to our work with digital natives, 21st century literacy and pedagogical reform to prepare our students for the "flat" world. Where my knowledge base is lacking I will provide direction to experts and will engage in healthy, productive controversial debate.
The overarching theme of this blog is embodied in the sentiment s expressed in the following quotations:

those who cannot read and write, but those who

cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn."

-- Alvin Toffler

"Come to the edge, he said.

They said: We are afraid.

Come to the edge, he said.

They came.

He pushed them,

and they flew."

--Guillaume Apollinaire

"The argument is simple-
to prepare people for life in an information society,
they need to be taught with the technology of an information society."

--Tilfen
