a great conversation with teacher mirek hancl who uses minecraft in the classroom. that success could have belonged to sl we think, but why is mc so successful in edu circles? enjoy this last rerun before season 3 hits the aggregators:

    addendum as mentioned = article on qz.com http://qz.com/472008/so-meta-the-creator-of-second-life-wants-to-make-a-real-life-version-using-vr-headsets/ – like I said: regrettable that my full point was missed: bad decisions by corporate folks lead to a backlash and blaming the platform rather than dumb ideas hatched in unimaginative marketing departments/heads…
