2ndLife Internet2

Second Life had a new announcement at Internet2 yesterday – Cisco is now providing access to their content in Second Life. Not only is this great for education but a nice nudge to those who may not yet see the emerging movement in this virtual world.

Engaging students in virtual worlds for education is the goal of this session. This is also to push 2nd life as a broad communication for engaging faculty for virtual educational programming.

At first 2nd Life gets in the way of your 1st real life and then your first real life gets in the way of your 2nd life!

Opened to the public in 2003 — now over 2 million real users.  2nd Life is so big Congress is actually looking to tax your accounts in 2nd Life.
