Second-Life

I was able to create an account on this website but could not load the viewer on my PC, so I never really got a good glimpse of how it works. From the exposure I gained through others, I would say that I'm not convinced there is much teaching use to this program, for it seems to be more for those interested in creating and expressing themselves through fantasy characters. So maybe it would serve some use in an arts program, yet I can't think of where it would fall. It seems like a sort of video game that allows the user to personalize a character for more realism. Again, this opinion is based on very little insight into the program for I could never get it to work.
