    I've also seen proposals to do professional development with teachers through Second Life. They could actually practice responding to different scenarios in this virtual world. It seems like it would be a ton of work!

      I love the way UC Davis has the week split up. I'm wondering if they run into students with conflicts with the synchronous schedule? How much coordination does it take?
