One of the most interesting things about the aricle was that it stated " despite entering Second Life to much mainstream media fanfare, companies like Sears, Sun Microsystems, Dell, Coca Cola, Reebok, and Calvin Klein have so far failed to attract even 500 weekly visitors." So are these ventures failures?

Everyone pretty much derided the presentation of powerpoints in Second Life, however (and rightly so!). The second question explored when and where virtual worlds make sense. The third question explored what lessons can be learned from social media to enhance appropriate adoption of VWs. Both are true, of course.

Although in spaces such as Second Life, we see constrained thinking in the form of virtual classroom and lecture halls, with doors, windows and roofs, this need not be they way we represent learning spaces in virtual worlds. Perhaps this is why Second Life designers persist in creating classrooms as learning spaces.

The basis of Montessori practice in the classroom is respected individual choice of research and work, and uninterrupted concentration rather than group lessons led by an adult. Heres what I see: Kids get to choose what they want to do for their "work" each day. If your kid just wants to polish brass for three hours, so be it.
