Second life in education

We are now wrapping up Month 4 and by now we are all familiar with Second Life. Second life is a virtual world that people all over the world can join and participate in. Second life has a vast number of areas that can be explored many of which are beneficial to educators. http://www.joystiq.com/2006/09/12/harvard-class-invades-second-life/  This short blog shows how Second Life is affecting major schools. Harvard University is a very prestigious school and they are using Second life as a forum for teaching a class.  

 I visited the da vinci Gardens where I was able to go under the ocean and see all kinds of aquatic creatures. One of the most amazing things about Second life is being able to explore areas that I could never even imagine exploring. In school we learn how fish swim in schools but imagine seeing them actually swim that way. Quite an amazing educational tool
