Second Life and Education
In my exploration of the innovation Second Life, the 3D virtual world, I discovered many interesting and appealing things. I believe Second Life is a great way to interact with people from all over the world and build your network. However, I am doing a class presentation on this innovation and I am confident that the class will find it very interesting and a fun program to work with, although I am finding it hard to relate the program to its usefulness in the educational world. Has any one out there used this program for teaching or educational purposes? Or does any one have any ideas on how they may use it for these purposes??
Sue - I’m still building up my network and learning about Second Life. Can you ask your networks if they can share their thoughts on Second Life with students?

Hi Haylzvg
I just came across your post re Second Life. I have been looking into SL because I want to use it with my students. I currently have one group doing a research report on the educational uses of SL.
I am curious to know what info you discovered re SL.
How was your presentation? Do yo have slides etc that I could look at?
