Flickr... better way to share photos

Wow... what an amazing technique to use and to be able to geotag photos, videos and audio files. What a great way for educators to take students on virtual 'field trips' around the world. Students can use flickr to upload their own photos and compare and contrast their way of life/culture with others from all over the world. Pretty cool... here's my flickr account (very simple and small so far) to check out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martyk555/

Second Life...?

The idea of 'Second Life' came up as I was researching the accessibility issue. This free online adventure has proven to help many escape to this virtual world (including many with disabilities, adults in group homes, and has helped many overcome social barriers). Has anyone out there had any experiences with 'Second Life' that you'd like to share? Just wondering what it's really all about! Check it out if you haven't already... http://secondlife.com/
