2nd Life or not??

This week's session is another interesting one, we have an experience using Second Life. Its a virtual world where people can live in, doing things; being somebody different from the real world. There are not limitations of the real world here, people can fly and teleport to different places. Love that bit.

The educational aspects of Second Life can be better explained in this video:

All I can say about this video is that it tackles the many possibilities to use Second Life as an Educational platform. The new generation of students are increasingly tired of the current or traditional methods of knowledge delivery. Second Life provides a possible way of immersing and engaging this new generation. The possibilities are limited to the boundaries of our imagination.

So to Second Life or not to Second Life?? For us as educators, can we risk not using Second Life as an educational platform and possibly lose engaging the students? Do we encourage the students to Second Life while we are not in it? Hmmm...
