That was actually kind'a embarrassing. At least it's easier than it use to be. I am planning to add a feature where I can enter a Twitter hash tag and it will automatically start fetching related Tweets as well as the Knitter chat. The code is in to do that, but I have to hard code the hash tag. I need to be able to just type it into the setup web page. - dfw

I do not have the statistics, but I suspect that it is declining, though I wouldn't say that it is going to fade away. It is a valid and valuable idea that simply hasn't found it true traction yet. ..and when I say Second Life, I actually mean virtual worlds as a whole. I can't say where SL will be five years from now. But I suspect that many of us (especially as my generation gets older and less mobile, will be spending time in these virtual worlds. - dfw

But what seems especially compelling to me is where students are learning by responsibly building in 3D worlds. - dfw

You know, if I am willing to admit that I, an expert, am also a learner, then I actually rejoice when there are problems, because you are watching me, an expert, deal and learn on the fly. - dfw

To be honest, I do not really enjoy it. I enjoy building there, but just being there and exploring does not thrill me. However, as I suggested above, it may be a place I spend a lot of time in when I am much older. - dfw

Yes! So what kind of rooms and lines will encourage that creativity in stead of squelch it. - dfw

Another question is what will we do with children, in an age of innovation, who do very well in rows. The kids who do not like 1:1 arrangements are those who are very good at being students -- but not so good at being learners. see http://goo.gl/qOxZ - dfw

SL has its insidious side, which is why it's not for the kids. But I hangout mostly on the education related islands and almost never see stuff like that happen. I can think of only one session, and that was when I was serving on a panel in an virtual global conference and a nude woman strolled in and stood in front of poor Ewan MacIntosh. It flustered him a bit. - dfw

Part of it, I believe, is redefining teachers as "master learners." Teachers who celebrate their own learning have permission to take risks and learn with and like their learners. - dfw

This is an ongoing problem that I think that time will solve. In this year's "Speak Out" survey, students, for the first time, did not say that lack of technology was their greatest barrier to effective use of digital networked learning. It was the blocking of content by their schools' networks. This, in my opinion, corrupts the definition of school. - dfw
