Second Life Education in the New York Times!

After a month of waiting, Christine Lagario’s article about education in Second Life is finally in print. Here is a link to the online version.

In the past few weeks we’ve experienced a barrage of anti-SL hype. It was my hope that the great work that folks are doing in SL would finally get more coverage than the sensationalist/tabloid press. I think I was right.

The beauty of SL is that it allows its residents to create anything they want. Serious users are creating powerful uses for the environment. Journalists, researchers, educators…SL is FULL of innovative people doing amazing things.

This is the future of education. This is the future of the web. Stay tuned!

    Yay Intellagirl! Well done! Hopefully this marks the beginning of the media taking seriously and reporting on all the wonderful, positive things being done with Second Life (like your class). :-)
