Comment by Evalyn J. Gossett on February 24, 2010 at 11:41am: The only virtual world I have used is Second Life and find that other educators where I am are not very interested in this new technology.

Comment by Carolyn Lowe on February 24, 2010 at 12:56pm: I am frustrated with the restrictions on the teen grid (Teen Second Life) for educators. I have purchased an island on the Reaction Grid (http://reactiongrid.com) and am hoping that will work better. I'm interesting in hearing other's thoughts about using OS or TG for K-12 education. Anyone else in the group use ReactionGrid?

I am preparing to submit a proposal and wanted to know if you have any successful use cases in applying 2L.
