Second Life

A few months ago I heard Second Life mentioned on the radio. They were talking about how you can actually earn money and support yourself through this digital world. People have been employed in full time jobs and earning good wages by doing things in this digital world. Since hearing about this digital phenomena, i have been meaning to look it up on the net (but until this moment, I haven't remembered!!!).

Second Life defines itself as thus on their website: "Second Life is a free online virtual world imagined and created by its Residents. From the moment you enter Second Life, you'll discover a fast-growing digital world filled with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity."  www.secondlife.com

I am interested in looking more into this "Second Life" world, not by joining up myself, but by reading reviews in journal articles (I don't have enough time in my "First life" to start an online second life :0) ). Sorry this blog has sounded so blasé- I'm finding it so hard to think in this noise filled classroom! Haha, how will I go as a teacher?!? 

Signing off <><
