Second Life: Education in a Virtual World (on slideshare.net)

Mica Braun (a.k.a. Danielle Kane) and I (HVX Silverstar, a.k.a. Bernadette Daly Swanson) took a look at what libraries and academics are doing in Second Life. Many of the examples are drawn from projects at University of California or from our volunteer work with the Alliance Library System, founder of the Second Life Library & InfoIsland/Info International Island.
