School Hinders the Future of Education!!

For about a year I have been studying the uses and applications of Second Life for education. It's a idea that has shaken up the education world in a positive way. So why the F*** does my school block it?

When I first arrived I was able to view the forums and blogs of "Real-Life Education" group. I would study on my off period and get ideas on how ongoing classes were adapting to it. Now I get a blocked page stating that Second Life is NOT "appropriate use" of the internet. Not only is the main/teen site is blocked but also are the blogs of educators who use the program.

How are we to help our students with so much opposition? 3D interfaces are not just for games anymore! It's is the future of the internet. Get with the times people!

OH GAWD! Now they blocked blogger sites! There goes another of the kid's research refrences.
