I think this is a great idea! :) I have a third draft of my prospectus due in two weeks and a big part of that is a rewrite/reorganization of my literature review. So, I'm planning to have my literature review rewritten by this Sunday, Oct. 17,…

Yup, I got you, but pragmatically given the time frame, this would be difficult to research in the K-12 context. There's not much use of SecondLife/virtual worlds in K-12 (yet) because of the difficulties in setting up a "teen second…
