We used Second Life with a group of 13-18 year olds in New York with [|Kids Connect].

Kids Connect ran a program of workshops for young people in New York and Amsterdam. The young people worked together using performance, storytelling, video streaming and networked collaboration via Second Life.

The kids learned skills in VJ-ing, playback theatre, digital storytelling, sound recording, filming and video editing, and 3D modeling. In Second Life everyone met and collaborated to build a virtual island.
