Thing 15 - Libraries and games

Second Life is an amazing world and I think it does have a place in the world of education and in the world of libraries. I looked at few different YouTube videos in regard to Second Life and education. In terms of the world of education, second life is a wonderful opportunity for students to experience the world of periods from long ago. An example shown is where the person's avatar visits the Elizabethan Era. I think this would be an excellent learning tool with a different avenue in presenting history, literature, or science. I know that www.exploratorium.org uses Second Life to allow you to experience a solar eclipse from Turkey as well as other out of this world experiences!
