I think there's a collection of interconnected communities inworld.. loosely joined nodes in a sense. The educational community is one of the largest and most vibrant, and the diversity of projects and perspectives from educators all over the world often makes it a very inspiring place to be.

China and Kirsten.. I'd invite you to join us on the Islands of jokaydia in Second Life, where i host a community of practice focussed on education in virtual worlds. We hold regular professional development events, build and support education projects, run conferences and social events.. and we play to learn. You can find out more at http://jokaydia.com and i'm more than happy to show you some of the projects going on there.

I'd also invite you to check out the Sleducation wiki @ http://sleducation.wikispaces.com where you will find some mini case studies of more than 100 educational projects which have or are happening inworld. Watch the videos, follow the links, visit the spaces... it might help you to get a stronger idea of how and what educators are doing inworld! ;)

In the end the value of Second Life is not in the platform or the prims, but in the networks of people that you can connect with. As Wolfie points out, SL and being part of the community there can connect you to some astounding opportunities.. if you are willing put some time and effort into joining the networks of people who are working, socialising and teaching and learning inworld. As well as jokaydia, I'd recommend DEN, ISTE and NMC as great destinations for educators who are new to virtual worlds.
