This is a very cool video that was broadcast on Teacher TV. This report shows the great potential for online learning through Second Life and online collaboration.

Here a 15 year old student named Kairen is one of 600 students enrolled in a virtual institution. In this instance Elluminate is used for students who can’t attend school for a number of reasons. This is a great tool to help students who have developed a desire or need to be home schooled.

Now, parents are no longer left with the stress of lesson plans, curriculum, and scheduling conflicts. Students can attend regularly scheduled classes and have the ability to rewatch the class over again from the class recording, if necessary. It’s too bad, but it seem as if the, “But you never said that” card just isn’t going to cut it anymore.
