Wednesday, October 10, 2007 Second Life and Gaming Poll Results I dont claim to be a researcher, nor can I claim that the results of polls conducted on this site are in the least bit statistically significant. Last week, I asked "Have you ever been in Second Life?" Unfortunately, the Second Life poll is closed.

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?

But personally, I like the personal. If I were to blog it all, we'd be WAY off the topic of instructional design. Which is fine.

If we get the core right first, then we can move on to see what’s real. So there are some buzzwords already on the wane. Such as MOOCs. Time for some ownership moves!).
