    It’s not the question about who is first and who is second. SecondLife exist in our true life so if you are working in second life and earn your living there it’s considered more like a job. And if you are retired and spend you time there making friends and chatting then it’s a life style. It’s not real nor it’s fake. Virtual worlds are more like the in-between. Remember that behind every avatar is a real person.

    Some use it for music and arts too! ^^ The music academy in SL is a good example of learning music thru second life. Not to mention those really nice live concerts the musicians in sl are pulling.

    No it depends on WHAT kind of games you are playing. SL in the other hand is not really a video game if you go over to the business and education part. It just happens to be able to create games of all sorts with its built-in programming language (lsl scripts).

    The count is less than 5% overall. If you see it as 75% makes other wonder where do you normaly visit in second life.

    and recently The Military Defence University of the united states just built a submarine training ground there. As per information those in tech department of whitehouse are SL fan themselves. It’s government supported officially and unofficialy both.

    And schools in second life ain’t free too! ^^ As far as i recall, there aren’t much “free” in real life schools as well once you are age 18 or higher. Oh yes. SL is for 18 and above only if you didn’t read the agreement when you signup.

    In another perspective. If they are addicted to educational games and not just some violence shooting games it’s another story right?

  8. There are attendant script to keep track of who is in and not. So you can’t really skip schools without notice. And with interactive scripts and books the teachers can turn the books for you to the page he or she is currently teaching. And with streaming videos and such the class can never be boring.

    The world is advancing to a new stage and higher level. Online education is nothing new as most universities offered that for those who are busy and still wish to learn. But that’s only a small part as most teachers in the world aren’t techie enough to accept such concept. The problem is the students are ready for such a things but the teachers aren’t. So we need to work on the evolution of the teachers before such things can come true. In another 20 years those don’t evolve will go extinct.

    Wonderful to know SL can be used for more than just virtual ***.

    Fantastic video. Really explains the possibilities succinctly, and very well put toghether. Thanks

    Yeah, they are describing the UC Davis location where you can experience what it’s like to be Schizophrenic…hence the background voices.

    Okay, it’s a nice idea and all, but the reprecussions far exceed the benefits.
    First: People spend enough time in front of computer and TV screens as it is. Imagine the long-term (possibly permanent) damage this could do to peoples eyes if it becomes a normal part of their lifestyles.
    Second: How would this be any more interesting than a classroom? No matter what, doing the same thing over and over is boring. Especially if your just sitting still.

    Maybe this would be better for projects.

    Do you mean secede? Because people want to use different methods they should leave the country?
    You MUST be a teacher, to be so offended by students wanting to take more control over their own education. I, as a student, have always been underchallenged in traditional classrooms, but because I could never afford a private instructor I had to sit with my hand in the air while teachers struggled to get less motivated students to ask a question or two. Waste of time and waste of potential.

    There’s no gameplay and no game. You can create games with it, among other things, but it is primarily an interactive environment that can be used for lots of things. It’s a game engine, of sorts, with a built-in programming language. I use it for business and school.

  19. Internet Selling

    Nothing subliminal about it. It’s just an example of the UC Davis schizophrenia SL.

  20. vre Investments

    That’s description is exactly what games are. Virtual world isn’t real life and it doesn’t count in the “natural world”. People can learn from anything, but we all have to live and survive in the real world where you interact with real circumstances. Including sickness, stress, love, life and death. Once you leave the keyboard, the things that you made or have become in SL are non-existant. False reality. It’s a game.
