CALL FOR IDEAS AND SUPPORT

Ever have a Vision?...a Great Idea? See a Market Opportunity? But can't get anyone to Listen? What do you do?

When you are passionate about something, you keep trying. So this is a call for ideas and support. I am a mother (albeit an entrepreneur, techie, and off-the-wall energetic). It started with looking for an "Entrepreneurial" program for my teenage sons (and selling hangers and t-shirts didn't even come close).

Teens are interested in technology. Tap into that technology and watch what they can do. Wow. Second Life, an untapped opportunity to reach teens and prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow. Where else can you blend Math, History, Art, Literature, and Music. Blend it with Computer technology, Internet Connectivity, and Entrepreneurial Creativity. Expose them to a Global economy and an International Market.

Add some structure and Second Life is easily an educational medium for Teens. As a family and "village" we pooled our knowledge and wrote A Beginner's Guide to Second Life to bridge the learning curve and scream the message. Hoping the traditional organizations trying to reach today's youth will take a closer look. Developing a Teen Program is easy, we've done that. Finding an organization that will listen is the challenge....but we keep trying.

Ideas are welcomed.
