Clark Aldrich's recent post on LCB - The Learning Circuits Blog: Second Life is not a teaching tool - has me wondering what he thinks a "teaching tool" is? Having said all of that, Second Life, as is, is not a teaching tool. If someone scripts a simulation in Second Life, does that not count or something?
