Seond Life again

I wanted to share this video with everyone because I thought it was very interesting...

I believe it's another part to the video we were assigned to watch.  The psychological aspect of Second Life is very intriguing.  It is true that we find comfort "hiding behind" a virtual identity.  Look at how much more people are willing to say via email, text message, even over the phone as compared to face-to-face interaction.  But bringing these walls down can be used as positive advantage - students are able to talk about things they wouldn't normally be willing to talk about in a typical classroom setting such as body image.
