There are many more lessons to be gained in a virtual world beyond the technical, though the mechanical learning curve for skills may be steep. More importantly, residents learn about themselves. They develop talents and techniques in an environment of experimentation that can then be applied to real life. This month’s contributors have all learned lessons about their careers and their characters, also growing to give back and to teach from their experiences.
CONTENTS VOLUME ONE NUMBER SEVEN NOVEMBER 2012
THEME: Learning Lessons by Eleanor Medier, Editor-in-Chief, introduces how the virtual world influences the education/business connection.
PROFILE: Evolved Education by Phelan Corrimal, Rockcliffe University. Phelan organically developed Rockliffe University from within SL, bringing real world expertise and discipline in-world. His focus is buil- ding an innovative, yet sustainable, infrastructure.
TRENDS: Experiential Education by Rah Rehula, Yavapai College. Rah works tirelessly to raise understanding and awareness of the virtual-world’s potential impact. She bridges between worlds and offers the best des- cription of advantages and hurdles in development.
SECTOR: Plant Cyber Seeds by Eleanor Medier, Editor-in-Chief. Eleanor initiated this exploration in education because the potential for business growth is obvious. Surprised at the history revealed and human nature exposed, she presents the collaboration with business.
CHOICE: Snowpaws: Elegant Allure by Netera Landar, senior contributor. Carrie Snowpaw exemplifies the learning process as a successful fashion designer. Bringing graphic skills from RL, she took classes to learn and step- by-step grows her now virtually famous collection.
INVESTMENT: A Cautionary Tale by SkyRanger Hammerer, Investor. SkyRanger finds the deepest learning experiences come from making mistakes. He can- didly discusses how he found himself in a hotbed of controversy and the lessons that help him move on.

PUBLISHER’S STATEMENT by Jetman Bowler:
“Bowler Business Review supports publicly traded companies, promotes pioneering entrepreneurs, and encourages economic growth.”
No one person can know everything—not in real life nor in Second Life® (though some may think they do). This issue is dedicated to the learners (any newbie that ever landed in a public square) and to the teachers (who rescue those grateful newbies). Investigating the state of virtual education reveals a parallel history to the financial commu- nity, and shows how education drives the potential of business success.
• Phelan Corrimal leads off the adventure in studiousness by sharing how he constructed a leading cyber university.
• Rah Rehula demonstrates the determination of an innovator by taking on traditional thinking, ever armed with facts and case studies.
• Carrie Snowpaw extends her design career into new avenues that she could never otherwise pursue, thus growing a leading fashion house.
• SkyRanger Hammerer shares his experience in riding the financial roller coaster—both good and bad. Whether agreeing with his conlusions or not, he gives every investor some serious considerations. Learning every single day myself, Bowler Enterprises continues to expand, to investigate new areas of business, and to grow upon the shoulders of these generous path-blazers.
