I didn't expect to see a post on unschooling pop up in the Metaverse folder in my RSS reader. :-) I agree when you say that Second Life offers great opportunities for self-directed, experiential learning and hence provides us with an opportunity to rethink and overhaul existing pedagogies. I hope educators do this rather than create learning experiences and environments that replicate the teacher-centred model that currently dominates our educational systems (and does damage to our children, and the citizens of tomorrow, and hence society, IMHO).
