I guess it's my age-but these seem like a waste of time. I don't really get why people would become involved in a virtual world. I guess the virtual library is an attempt to meet the online virtual world where they are. The pirate games were fun-but I've got too many other things do than play computer games as a pirate. I can sort of see how/why people get "hooked" on the games and virtual worlds. It was odd to see other "pirates" out on the deck.
I don't see any use for these in elementary school. I would certainly discourage kids from getting involved and would support parents who don't want their kids on the computer in virtual worlds.

I totally agree with you Gerri---I have a hard time encouraging online gaming for my students or my two daughters! I don't think it is an age thing!::)
Ditto! But it is entertaining to think of you walking on deck with a patch over one eye acting unruly!
