EYE4YOU ALLIANCE

What a great experience in preparing for the college fair on the teen grid. Every adult I encounter comments how helpful the teens are. It’s exciting that colleges are using Second Life as a place to try recruitment and resource sharing with teens.

Here is a video created by Yohan Althouse (MG) about the college fair: http://blip.tv/file/413126.
