I have also taught in SL as an adjunct instructor. Mine is a one credit hour educational technology course for graduate/doctoral education students taught fully in Second Life and titled, "Intro to Second Life for Educators." Basically, it's a course that introduces teachers and principals to the educational applications of Second Life. <br /><br />One of the weekly assingments was to visit Genome Island and write a reflection on our course wiki about the experience. Students clearly saw the value of the immersive environment Mary Anne created. <br /><br />For that week's Genome Island assignment, I decided to introduce my students to sloog.org by showing them how to use this website to get to Genome Island for their assingment. I created a quick video demo and uploaded that to Youtube.
