Are any of you using Second Life in your HS level courses? Are any of your
schools planning on creating a "virtual campus" in Second Life?
Having spent many hours on Second Life recently, I'm convinced that it has
great potential as a virtual classroom tool, much more engaging than IMing
or video conferencing. And, of course, there's the whole creative side of
it--making your avatar, constructing buildings, etc. And the social
interaction part--meeting not only people but creatures from around the
world. I've also seen sexual and violent things that give me pause about
using Second Life with HS kids.
I'd love to hear from any of you who have taken the plunge into SL.
Thanks,
Bruce
