Would you say the different types of social media you would use in the classroom be catered to the different group of students ?
Isn't SecondLife a video game similar to Sims? Do you see any complications of using SecondLife such as breach of privacy between yourself and the students?
I'm very curious because its a concept I have never heard of. Perhaps this differs from institution to institution.

As a business student at SFU, we don't usually have too many projects.
I find the best tool for getting all the course materials and information about the course from WEBCT. I know it's not always the best option, but I have actually grown to like it compared to Professors having separate web pages for couse materials.
There are so many platforms where teachers can post information and as a student taking several courses, it would be easy to have all the information in one place rather than checking Webct, emails and other websites.
Perhaps there needs to be better university policies where teachers should post additional course materials in one place rather than several, just to keep uniformity.
I know it's hard but it's just a suggestion.
When there are group projects, I also use Google Docs, Skype and drop box if the groups can not physically meet up.
