I was speaking more toward the technology aspect, but we CANNOT forget the traditional verbal as well. The opportunity for this in education is HUGE. I think we are all in a 'feeling out' stage, trying to understand how best to use it in curriculum before we all launch it. But MANY teachers have successfully done so. They are great examples.

Ever since a two people came together and asked "How ya doin'?"they've been asking each other for information. Think of how may times our students ask questions, even simple questions like "When's this due?" in our classrooms. Or even when a 2-year old asks "Kitty?" Kids are wonderfully unabashed about asking people for information. SL may be able to connect kids to the people whjo can answer questions. But we'll have to solve our worry about letting kids be online for this to happen. You missed the most common–and most ancient–way of finding information: ask someone.
