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. No matter what Clark says - Second Life is a teaching tool.

I just read through a great post by Rich Hoeg which talks about his learning around Second Life. I think that Second Life is not going to turn out to be the winner because of technical issues, e.g., firewalls. However, I think that the next generation of Second Life will displace tools like WebEx for many online events.
