The document discusses using the virtual world Second Life to teach difficult concepts. It notes that difficult concepts are often abstract, theoretical, and beyond students' experiences. Second Life allows for holistic learning by providing concrete experiences that allow students to actively test hypotheses and reflect on their learning. The document outlines how educators can use Second Life's immersive environment, student control, and creative building tools to help students construct their own knowledge and integrate new information.
