I am currently researching educational uses of Second Life. I have explored the environment many times but have not had a chance to delve deeper...yet! Could you answer soem questions if I prepare some. Basically, I am looking for some insight to your experiences with teaching in SL. Examples: - What do you like about Second Life for education? - What problems have you had and how were they rectified? - Has it improved your learning experience? - In what ways, positive or negative aspects? - Why are you using SL in education or what can you do in SL that rather than in RL? - What is the student reaction to SL, positive or negative? - What learning is involved and how do you handle this? (I am Boz Budan in SL) Many thanks in advance. Bluez Hi Anglea (Anya). I am currently researching educational uses of Second Life. I have explored the environment many times but have not had a chance to delve deeper…yet! Could you answer soem questions if I prepare some. Basically, I am looking for some insight to your experiences with teaching in SL.

Examples:

- What do you like about Second Life for education?
- What problems have you had and how were they rectified?
- Has it improved your learning experience?
- In what ways, positive or negative aspects?

- Why are you using SL in education or what can you do in SL that rather than in RL?

- What is the student reaction to SL, positive or negative?

- What learning is involved and how do you handle this?

As for the virtual streaming I think I was at the very first conference in Australia that combined the rl conference with streaming video and simaltaneous moo-chat which was projected above the speakers - that was Cybermind96 in Perth Western Australia held in December 1996 at Curtin University Cheers Jerry I agree with you about the technology as a mediating influence.
