Dear RezEd Podcast team:
Wow, episode after episode, you all keep bringing the good stuff. This interview with Peggy was amazing. What a wonderful story she has to tell.
She mentioned that she's having her teachers chronicle their experiences with SL in the classroom. What a valuable resource these teachers' stories must be.
Looking forward to the next episode.
