Second Life

Second Life is another alternative to Virtual Worlds. It is three dimensional and everything you see has been built by a user like yourself. Everyone in the Virtual World is a real person. You have the option to communicate and collaborate via chat, IM, and voice. The controls are similar to most games with the typical A, W, S, D commands. You can double click the space bar to fly. Other options within Second Life are the ability to teleport to different worlds, change your wardrobe, check your inventory, maps, and search for people or different worlds. In my hands on experience with Second Life, there are many glitches my students wouldn't be able to adapt to.
