Teen Second Life

Teen Second Life comes from the list of websites at the end of chapter 6 called Virtual Worlds. This is a website to be used socially. The avatars have a life that the person using the avatar can control. This website can be free, or cost money. This website has tutorials to teach new users how to use their new avatars and make their lives realistic. In teen second life the people can fly, which is weird. Teen second life is a very large website with many people to interact with along the way. This website allows people to shop, create, work, buy land, etc. If there was time for use of this in the classroom it would be great for teaching students budgeting, living, etc. in older grades. There are blogs, forums, groups, etc. about teen second life for even more communication and understanding of this virtual world.
