We had hoped to open Island one in July, but, what with holidays and work-in-progress on the other islands, as well as it taking longer than expected to add content and learning tasks to the builds, we decided to delay until the beginning of September. That’s now approaching, and we are planning to open unofficially before the official opening (later in the month).

Opening unofficially will hopefully let us iron out any problems, and will avoid too many people visiting us at the same time. Of course, we all know that this is just the beginning. We are looking forward to hearing from the teens when they arrive as to what works and what doesn’t. However, we are confident that our islands will be a cool place for teens to hang out.

Dear Graham,
I’m sure it will be a huge success! I should get more often to Second Life as it is a fascinating way to teach English and learn tons with everybody there. I dream of having some of our Brazilian teens out there interacting with teens all over!
You’re doing an awesome job.
Beijos,
Carla

Thanks Carla – I really appreciate your enthusiasm and encouragement. Did you know that Second Life seems to be taking off in Brazil in a huge way now?
I hope we can extend an invite to lots of Brazillian teens when we (finally) open, which should be later this month!
Thanks again,
Beijos,
Graham
