I'm pretty cynical of SL in general (let alone education) and the claims that Linden make, but as a tool for easily creating 3D objects in a virtual world with a global population it really is unparalleled. At XTech Matt Biddulph gave a demo of how you can use real-life input to control items in SL. From what I understand, it should work the other way around too, giving a global audience the ability to affect say, something on your desk by ringing your doorbell in SL. Anything that gives that kind of opportunity is worthy of investigation at least. Fascinating overview.

I was at the symposium too, on the other side of the "mirror": http://www.silversprite.com/?p=307 It was interesting (albeit a little distracting) to occasionally see the delegates in the RL version of the event when the camera was jiggled around.
