I noticed that my girl Ellen has now gotten ito the second life world. She was flying around the other day uncontrollably, butnow she is bouncing back and forth among the differnt islands, and she is waiting for an invite to check out the inline second life swing / sex club. I am glad to see she is moving into the 3d world.
Another story I saw today was via the wired blog and it talks about educators (treachers) are actually using sexond life as a way to host virtual classrooms for distance learning and remote ututoring. Very cool, I look forward to this segment of distance learning to grow so that future genreation will have opporunities to learn from many people around the world in a way that actually works much better than trying to read a paper book.
What ever happened to that movement years ago to have video casts of the world’s best professors online for free? Is that still happening? I’d love to see that included into a virtual second life library.
Is google still going to be scanning and indexing the entire library of congress? Wouldn’t it be nice to walk into and enjoy the library of congress without having to travel all the way to DC.
