Or they might learn to lack real life social skills. Seriously, I love online games, but this is taking it a bit far.

wow, learning happens everywhere. you said,"i never wanted to learn a thing, cause there are way to many places and things to see". but every place you visit teaches you something. As for studying in a virtual world like SL, it would be wonderful for people that cannot get to other places for finacial reasons or even disabilities that keep them housebound. As for what it can teach children, social interaction, programming, and they can even play with design and other programs.

I want my kids to learn on a computer, not totally, but certainly some and SL for kids is way different than the SL with naked dance poles swinging furries. The 3D of SL may just inspire them to make a better software program. As for forgetting teachers, you are the most important teacher they have, regardless of where the classroom takes place.

Did you guys listen to the video? It is extremely self explanatory. Look at it this way, I can take a class at a college across the country without having to deal with the expense of moving. Second life can help breach the gap that some people might face. Second life is not a game by the way, so please try to get past that misconception. When people say it is a game they really show how uneducated they are.

SL is a great way to teach through immersion.. imagine learning about Greece when it looks like you're in ancient Greece and dressed in Togas, or learning about WW2 on the beach of Normandy, or learning about the landing on the Moon with the Lunar lander virtually there? It's not just a game and yes the graphics could be better but I imagine if you got a better video card it might help. Not sure. I've never seen photos or videos of SL with a great video card posted.

TSL doesn't want education.

By: NinjaDino11. on 26 Aug 08, 17:55:01
well.. online game cant teach children much, i think best knowledge is book, or maybe internet, but not some virtual online game, in my time in second life i never wanted to learn a thing, cause there are way to many places and things to see, why would anyone wanted to study in virtual word like sl?

even though this sounds interesting please don't ruin gaming by putting education crap in it.

the graphic of second life still need to be improved. . . as a professional gamers, I love the concept of the second life specially when it talk about education
By: angiebr77. on 28 Jul 08, 12:55:34
I think this second life educationa system is a totally interesting concept. This would be just one way to get children-- and all learners at that to learn in a virtual way as opposed to the same old way--a sage on the stage. To get through to all learners with many different learning styles, this would be one great and fun way to process information. Why not be creative and make education fun. WOW--WHAT A CONCEPT!! Education and learning must and needs to be fun and enjoyable.

says you but i can take my game outside on a laptop and use it while I'm doing other things I'm not lazy
By: gopher001. on 28 Jun 08, 11:09:55
says you but the teachers can work with it not let it take over.

world of warcraft nd sl... wooooo!!!!! rock on!!!!
By: oneleggedstanley. on 02 Jun 08, 19:55:28
i don't want my kids learning via a computer. what do you want to just plug then into a computer and say forget teachers to? maybe not, but this is a step in that direction.

Because almost everything it's made by its own residents. So asthetics depends on who built it.

Internet 3.0 ?
By: szanne. on 11 May 08, 15:48:33
Nicely done video but it makes a lot of assumptions about the educational value of SL and its users' (teachers and students) capacity to perceive and exploit the environments affordances and limitations.
By: Sekinto. on 28 Apr 08, 03:12:01
Ah, Second Life, it is cross platform, you can use it with Windows, OS X, or Linux (and I'm sure it would work with BSD to). The environments are created by the users so the possibilites are endless. One second you could be sitting in a classroom getting some edumacation and the next second you could be watching naked furries pole dance (not lieing).

By: SoldierCyfix. on 29 Mar 08, 03:25:40
interesting... i would like to try this, i assume its free ps: WoW isn't all that hot, and why the bad graphics
By: doodles6857. on 25 Mar 08, 00:15:22
Well done =)
By: Wowbagger86. on 13 Mar 08, 12:34:21
It's interesting as a way of home teaching when somebody need it, or for homework. But still I think its healthy to have a real life to...
