Yesterday and today, I was in Louisville getting certified for Quick Recall and Future Problem Solving for our school’s academic team.  The governing agency for these competitions is known as the Governor’s Cup.  For those of you who are not familiar with Future Problem Solving, students compete in teams of 4 to come up with solutions to a futuristic problem.  This year’s topic for research is simulation technology, and Second Life’s web site is one of the suggested readings.  The other readings involve military, medical, economics, and tourism.  Here is a link on creating a virtual tour of Pompeii that was fun to read.
