There's always a lot of talk about education in SL, at least among the people I talk to (teachers tend to clump together after all). There are wonderful examples of many different types of things that are already in SL for just about every discipline you can imagine, but Perplexity Peccable (Lexi, not Perp!) has put together this short video of science in SL.
It's only 3 minutes, it included a couple of bits I'd not heard about before, as well as missing one or two I have seen and been hugely impressed by (the Virtual Hallucinations area for one). It's well worth a look, and thinking about including it in your bag of contents to show administrators who doubt the value of SL.
1. There are also some projects at Ohio University involving science education for grades K-12. : Machinimas are here:
