Is SL useful for web searching

Chatlogs posted: 1 (good); Questions resolved: none (inevitable)

Have posted the transcript of the discussion held on 1st May (last Thursday) on Infolit iSchool. Subject of this was whether Second Life was any use to help teach students how to search the web. Had asked people to bring along objects etc. that they had created to do this, but in fact no-one brought anything, though one person mentioned plans for an Information maze.

In the pic I have used the Mystihud tool to rez a table with chairs - a new chair is added as soon as someone sits down. Crowding resulted from me losing nerve and adding several chairs just in case it didn't work automatically, which it did.

The blog of Sheila Yoshikawa on her adventures in Second Life. This may be very thrilling. Or possibly not.
