Got kids?
Got kids who want to learn about Second Life? I highly recommend it - the advances that are being made in virtual worlds (including technology, education, business, etc.) absolutely stagger the mind. So, of course, I’ve researched out resources to help you use Second Life for education as well.

First off, check out the Second Life in Education wiki. My gosh, you have to see these ideas to believe them, including:

• Distance and Flexible Education
• Presentations, Panels and Discussions
• Training and Skills Development
• Self-paced Tutorials
• Displays and Exhibits
• Immersive Exhibits
• Roleplays and Simulations
• Data Visualisations and Simulations
• Libraries, Art Galleries and Museums
• Historical Re-creations and Re-enactments, Living and Immersive Archeology

WOW!

Next, you can check out educational Second Life blogs like:

• The story of my Second Life
• Second Life ESL
• Second Life Education
• Discovery Second Life Education
• Second Life Library Project

As you can see, there’s really quite a ton of useful academic resources you can incorporate in your child’s learning.

Enjoy!
