I looked at Second Life and found that the possibilities in the game are endless. It is neat that players are able to interact with other online players. Players are able to create a character, buy a house, create products to sell, visit businesses and much more. The game changes each time players log in, because people are constantly adding to the game.
I think that playing this game could be a great learning experience for students. It teaches them about cause and effect. I taught a design unit last year and think that this game would have supplemented the curriculum nicely. Students are able to see how an area changes and how human design affects an area. The one drawback to this game is that it is time consuming. It would take a while to get it set up in school, and I'm not sure that the school computers could handle the downloads required for the game.
