Seems ;like way too many people want to critisize any1 trying to make a difference these days. I wonder if thats because every1 is so cynical and negative! Or just dumbasses. - (probably both)=TRUTH IS- Yea I guess you could call it a game, and the idea is kinda cheesy,-but so what!- Applications of this for education and possibly alot of other things it wasn't originaly created for = are WONDERFULL! THIS IS COOL! And you will probably just see more of S.L.. So open up and enjoy. PEACE.

"Traditional lectures do little to hold the attention of a generation weened on MTV and World of Warcraft" ....2ndLife is the solution? Feel free to suceed the Union in your 1st life and take your 2nd lives with you. I'm sure Japan will have you.

omG aLL uTooBe ComMenTerz arr DUMM!!!1 i kent believe u r such sheepz LOLz!anyway while this is an interesting concept and i agree that to some extent this could be educating, the truth of the matter is that it's slow. a book or classroom gets straight to the point. it's far more "effective". it just takes not being a wuss and getting down to work to get anything out of a book or a classroom.

Unfortunately, this isn't what commonly happens in Second Life.However, it's wonderful to know that something like this exists there.

Second life is a fantastic opportunity for people to create anything they can imagine, within a 3d setting. I just visited a fascinating build called the "Museum of the African-American Experience", and was blown away by what those people were able to create. It was a virtual walk through African-American history. You should include it in your next video as a place with tremendous educational value.

technology: you can look at how computers and similar things work in 3d animations. Art: you can always draw on the computer (if they would add that feature) Music: Some kind of Quiz, like recognize this tone or how many strings are there on a guitar and stuff. Drama: Role-playing! So... you can probably learn a lot from this game, but i bet you learn more at school. When you can just (apparently) FLY away from your classroom... it's way too easy to skip lessons!
