We've been exploring the many uses of Second Life. I took a few screen shots while exploring today and uploaded them to my Flickr account. If you'd like to see them, go to my Flickr pages at: Pat's Flickr pics and see what you think. SL is especially being used by universities and departments of education across the land. I found one place for assistive technology use in school that even had a brief orientation explaining the requirement of school administrators to have tech staff involved in providing differentiated learning experiences to students. Wow.
I also saw some examples of colleges teaming up with high schools to offer experience building things and competing in technology projects. The results were then displayed in SL.
This sort of thing takes a lot of collaboration and TIME. It is still more for post-secondary learners. Use of this in high schools is still an evolving thing. You'd really have to team up with someone already in the virtual setting. I don't think most small town schools could afford to dedicate staff to actually building and maintaining SL sites or experiences. They'd have to use what is already there.
