The virtual town and its Jayhawkville United School District are complete with colorful maps including urban to rural schools, pictures of each building, profiles of their principals — foibles included — and graphs of demographics and test scores. You can also meet the school board members and executive team. With the click of a mouse, students “visit” Jayhawkville’s diverse schools, “meet” leaders and get a feel for each one’s unique circumstances. Joe Novak, a former principal and current coordinator of the KU School of Education’s master’s program in educational leadership, helped develop Jayhawkville and launched it in courses this spring. Each semester he expects Jayhawkville to get more in-depth and expand to be used in more classes.
