also SLED for education
sound and visuals are 3D--distance is important!
Social network is possible; conference calling is possible for 4 Ss.

Ragnar Holliday may be my new name...
SLOODLE and other LMS tools are a possibility http://sloodle.org/
Group called 'teaching spanish in SL'
Harassment and abuse discussed. Reminder that teleport will allow you to get away.
AIML artificial intelligence is available. But Macs handle accented characters better (in scripts--no problems in chat rooms, etc.).
--ideas: scripted dialog students can interact with: store clerk, etc.

Nanci and I had a great time presenting on Second Life. We are very excited about the potential of this technology.
There is a great listserv for Educators in SL: https://lists.secondlife.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/educators
The intro video is at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOFU9oUF2HA. There are many others on youtube. You can also find tutorials for doing just about anything in SL as well.
I've been blogging about my project and other SL stuff at: http://calistoencinal.spaces.live.com/
