 *Any other examples of simulations not based in physical reality
 **Schizophrenia display. Created a building that simulated what it felt like to have hallucinations. Border services is incredibly practical training. Lots of science education simulation. Anatomy education like "Fantastic Voyage".
-*Do you build models outside? Sketch up.
+*Andrew: Do you build models outside? Sketch up.
 **Does not work like that yet. Studio Max, Soft Image. In-house tools only; there is a way- called Blender. In the end, it's the texturing is what makes it real. Possible on small scale. Sketches are done in 3D studio Max, used for mock up for client.
-*Have you heard the concern regarding replicating this world with identical world. Virtual world frees us from this world.
+*Richard: Have you heard the concern regarding replicating this world with identical world. Virtual world frees us from this world.
 **People want to feel like they "get it". It's already a big leap to get into the virutal world and feel comfortable. Created a metaphor for the whole region. Created a balance. Did something similar for Queen's. They wanted their building (identical). Wanted the students to feel like they were "coming to campus". Feels artificial to not have shadow and light. Goes back to institutional goals. Can go to exact replica real buildings or totally imagined spaces.
-*For those of who are not artists, what are the benefits?
+*Karen: For those of who are not artists, what are the benefits?
 **people enjoy architecture but don't necessarily design, i.e. "build a shelter", no aesthetic criteria for grading.
 **5% of people on e-bay, the rest buy- most are enjoying themselves, the rest are content providers
-*What are other learning activities are not just simulations?
+*Scott: What are other learning activities are not just simulations?
-**leadership activities. Journalism skills (rudimentary reporting). Nutrition game, cumulative choices. hands-on rafting adventures.

Sarah (intelligirl) Rhetoric and composition could show different modes of expression. Has over 3000 people apply to get in her class. Just another option. Another element to the educators tool kit.

		+	*Jane:How to keep people under 18 out of SL?
		+	**Part of Harvard project. Moving to age verification. Teen SL is much more rigorous. The young people can spot adults right away. Report, self policing, good governance. Under 17 students, only have access in classroom.
