I just met Sarah "Intellagirl" Robins AKA Intellagirl Tully in SL. She has a blog which is dedicated to Second Life as a research and educational tool.
I know it appears that Divo is TOTALLY checking Intellagirl out, but I assure you, it's just the avatar talking (and in any case, Cleon and Mitch were on hand to supervise)
In all seriousness, it's a great objective and the right kind of attention to be given to education. If you think about it, why shouldn't education and entertainment mash together?
I love the fact that Intella has the blog as opposed to her "Real Life" persona. Turns out that Intella is an avid ATS listener, and she even blogged about ATS #38, in which Eric Norlin and myself discussed digital identity.

Yes! I'm teaching a media planning class in the fall and I've been wondering whether I should bring SL into it (or it into SL). I'm going to pursue this a little harder now. Thanks for the blog reference (and your recent Second Life explorations).

Thanks for the plug Jaffe! It was awesome to meet you. I'm looking forward to collaborating in the future!
Now about the staring....:)

Secondlife is an incredible platform. One thing bothers me is that while eveyone has a Secondlife name completely different to their "firstlife" identity, the creators use LINDEN in their screen i.d.'s. Am I the only one who thinks this is odd? And maybe the first sign of online classism? I am the leader, I can use whatever name I want. That being said, it's pretty wild and intelligent...and strange how we are adopting virtual communities.
