Common Sense Media, which one of the posters in the
Escapist drew my attention to recently, is hosting a forum November 14th on what kids learn from virtual worlds:

Douglas Thomas, editor of the new
Games and Culture journal, and who, according to the Common Sense bulletin, is now working on an immersive virtual world intended to teach ethics to kids. Every once in awhile something makes me wish I still lived in LA!
