Second Life

When I was in high school, my friends and I started to play Second Life. It was pretty short lived but for a few months we would play after school and it was a fun experience. Maybe it was pretty ridiculous but we had a group of five 16 year olds that would all get our parents to drive us to my friends with our desktops so we could all play together in the same room. It was fun to create crazy characters, then walk or fly and encounter other avatars. I think Multi-User Virtual Environments are great for kids and teens, interacting with each other. I think they are problem-based learning experiences for kids.
