Metaplace is a great leap forward for virtual worlds, and may be the synchronous learning solution that K-12 educators have been looking for. It entered open beta this week, and it's free.
Come meet me sometime there - MrAldrich is my name and my first world there is "Paris by MrAldrich".
Unfortunately, Metaplace has closed because it wasn't making money. This really was the most promising virtual world for wide use by schools, so it's a shame to see it go.
