I was on a plane to Wisconsin during the 7th class. To celebrate making it half way through the Computer Literacy Program, Ryan wanted to take the kids on a field trip. He planned a virtual field trip to the International Spaceflight Museum in Second Life.

The field trip had to be aborted. : (
International Spaceflight Museum *sigh*…would have been cool
