If Clark County School District moves forward with the partnership, the new WBE.NET international trade curriculum will enhance and compliment the District's current course offering entitled International Marketing. The WBE.NET course will delve deeper into international marketing and all the specifics of import/export trade with an Internet component, currently not taught at the school. The WBE.NET will serve as an elective course and will be offered for a full academic year in the Clark County School District.
The meeting was the result of a presentation made to the Clark County Superintendent Carlos Garcia and the District's Executive Council, which displayed overwhelming enthusiasm for the program. Secretary of State Dean Heller, who interviewed Mr. Roby on a popular Nevada radio talk show, has given the WBE.NET Global Internet Trade Course for Students his endorsement and will present it to Nevada Governor Kenny Guinn. |
The WBE.NET Global Internet Trade Course for Students is currently being taught at the Los Angeles Unified School District and Grant Joint Union high School District in Sacramento. All proceeds generated by the students during the course goes directly to the school's scholarship program.

The school district's Superintendent Larry Buchanan realized the career opportunities the course offers and brought the program to Highland High School.
Highland High School teacher Jerry Steward, who teaches the Global Internet Trade Course (GITC), has introduced the students to a completely up-to-date way of conducting trade. She is one of the first teachers to conduct classes using computers exclusively in her school district. Roosevelt Roby, CEO and founder of the World Business Exchange Network, recently visited Highland High School to meet with her and her students.
Future classrooms will certainly look something like the one at Highland High School. In the GITC course, each student has a computer and the ability to access scanners, printers and headset speakers. In one corner of the classroom is a very big television monitor showing a live picture of another classroom in another location across the county. Classes are held at the same time and are separated by many miles. One teacher can supervise more than one classroom.
The course is the result of 20 years of research and development by the World Business Exchange Network (WBE.NET). Roby and his wife, Cathy, have authored many "How To" books to aid and educate entrepreneurs.
Twenty-two years ago that all change with the development of the personal computer. At that time there was only a very primitive system called the Bulletin Board System (BBS) that allowed people to communicate over the modem. From that small beginning there have been many dramatic developments, but none has been more dramatic than the "classroom without books". This is the beginning of a new era in education. These students are entering an unknown world where anything is possible.
