I would really have loved to see your demo on the tools used etc. though your blog is a handy starting point. Great presentation the other day at Barcamp.

See: http://secondlife.com/ and: http://teen.secondlife.com/ respectively. In terms of how to deal with this when you have mixed age groups - which is often the case at TAFE, there are a couple of options.... You could run spaces/projects simultaneously on both the Teen and Adult grids, or I have heard of Adult students working on the Teen Grid - however this poses problems as Adults have limited access to the Teen Grid and can only access their own spaces. Note that all adults on the teen grid must go through a police background check and get approval to work there. Some of these problems will likely become less of an issue when Linden Lab open sources the software and users have the ability to run Second Life on their own servers.
