| "I was only browsing colleges, nothing serious, when I found out you could take the classes in Second Life... . It was going to enable me to go to class with professors in Texas while I stayed in Montana!
It was going to give me the real time interaction with a real professor
without having to go out of the home. I was sold!" Indasky Boa - her
Second Life avatar name - was describing how she reacted when she first
learned about Texas State Technical College's virtual education vTSTC program in Second Life. The program offers certificate and AAS degrees in Digital Media and Digital Signage. |

| Commencement Launches Grads Toward Future |
Monday, August 24, 2009 - Dave Ralph, Communications Writer
|
State District 43 Rep. Dr. Tara Rios Ybarra, D-South Padre Island, urged TSTC graduates to courageously pursue their dreams during her commencement address August 22. "Follow your plans," she told the audience at Christian Fellowship Church. "Do not just dream of your goals; go for it. Remember that learning comes in all shapes and sizes." Everyone occasionally faces difficult decisions about whether to follow rules or take a risk by breaking barriers to create new rules, Rep. Rios Ybarra said. Those decisions could lead to mistakes, but an error should become a learning opportunity. She told graduates to persevere and quoted former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, "Success is the ability to move from one failure to the next with enthusiasm." |
