I explored the pirate game wiki and all of the videos and other resources for Second Life (SL). SL gets my vote for this Thing.
Doug Johnson's "The One-Afternoon SecondLife Tour" has highlighted the sites I'll visit with a guide. SL's 3D virtual world is a learning hothouse. Because there are no limits on what can be included in an experience, learning comes with breathing the SL space. How can you not love that possibility? Discovery is no longer held prisoner in bricks and mortar - or budget cuts!
There is certainly a role for libraries in SL...InfoIsland is already showing the way. Education (school and public libraries) are on the forefront, but the rest of us are on the way to collaborate, conference, and network in SL. Collections, databases, classes on how to use them...all there.
How soon will SLA offer an SL conference?
