Second Life is a digital world. It is literally a second life that you can live out as naturally as your real life online.
It was created by the people that "live" in it and since its creation has had a virtual population boom. The complicated and intricate nature of the program is what makes it so real and life like. The people who reside in ths wolrd have possesions, laws, jobs, trades a and hobbies. They interact with their fellow residence on a dialy basis, form connections and have families just as real human beings do.
When used in education, the program could cover quite a few topic in relation to students. For younger students it can give them an idea about the "real world". About how adults live and interact in the world. About their responsibilities and positions.
It could also help to make children more aware of serious issues or conditions such as schitzo[phrenia and multiple personalities. As the students live doubkle lives, they become aware of the anxiety, fear and hope associated with trying to continuously keep those two live seperate and manage to control one or the other at any given time.
