Abstract	Diane Lewis began building her popular virtual education program in a storage closet. The drab room, just big enough to squeeze in a tiny table, was her office at the headquarters of Seminole County (Florida) Public Schools. She had a computer and a small staff of temporary workers. Lewis, who managed to open two successful virtual schools for Seminole County last year, has emerged as a guru of online education. Speaking with the zeal of a preacher and the authority of an educator, she has traveled the world touting the virtues of technology and busting myths about cyberlearning. In 2008, the Florida Legislature ordered all of the state's school districts to start at least one virtual school; the state has been running its own, Florida Virtual School, since 1997, serving students worldwide. This article shares Lewis' tips for starting a virtual school. (ERIC).
