I can see the benefits of using second life in teaching, however, I think that it is fairly complicated and would require a lot of assistance. I am not sure how one teacher would be able to assist all of her students in building etc. in second life, especially for elementary age students.

I think second life is extremely interesting and would engage students. I think if you were able to keep the students 'with' you, you would be able to use this technology to engage them in various types of learning. I think that distractions could be a major factor in using second life, because there are so many options in second life.

Second life could be a very useful tool for teaching, but I feel like there are draw backs that I would need to learn to deal with before I was able to use it in classroom. Maybe, with more experience I could reach a point where I was able to use this technology in my classroom.
