Feb 8, 2008 - Great video and great job! 5 stars:-)A little note; your audio quality is excellent, yet the "P"s pop a lot and can be reduced/eliminated by either speaking more "across" the microphone element rather than into it directly and/or put a sock or cotton ball over the mic element to cut the wind noise (Doing V/Os I myself, I have found these tips helpful .. yes, I have had a sock over my mic [to cut the wind noise] from time to time:-).

szanne Says:

May 11, 2008 - She makes a good point: "If you happen to teach 3D modeling it's perfect place for experimentation." Similar to other videos suggesting the educational value of SL, this one is also based on a lot of assumptions.

Sep 15, 2008 - Great video. I use SL and can see the uses for this. Definitely a good way to teach classes.

timmytonga46n2 Says:

Sep 17, 2008 - technology has failed us.if u promote this then u should not be an educator. your just promoting students to be as lazy as they can. to use this for educational purposes is the same as using wikipedia for a research paper.

Oct 3, 2008 - I actually met somebody on here in a University Programming and Graphic Design class, and she told me that they were getting marked on the quality of their structure.
