Second Life is pretty big in the education sector and they keep hyping it up among librarians. I never saw the appeal in the program, but I decided to give it a try for a communications assignment that I have to complete.
I hate it. I have no patience when it comes to flying or my avatar’s crab-crawl walk. I find that the educational uses all seem good on paper, but I wouldn’t want to have to use this thing to take a class.
However, a lot of the people in the class that I’m taking think that we “millenials” are only capable of learning online. We’re “always” on the interwebs, we must want to learn using these mediums.
My question is: Do any of you currently use Second Life? Or have you used it in the past? Would you use this for an extended period of time to learn, or is it just a glorified chat room?
Opinions, comments, rants are much appreciated.
marginalia and such 
i’ve used it in the past before they changed it. i couldn’t get off the main land and it was sooooooooo slow!
