Real-life learning in virtual worlds

Wonder how and what students are taught in virtual worlds? Watch this video (13:46) at Teachers TV.
You'll see how middle-school student Daniel made the case for and, "in a couple of weeks," built an exhibition of the history of steam engines in Second Life, his teacher said, and how a group of students were asked to help turn a crumbling historic jetty on the North Sea coast into a tourism destination by building and restoring it virtually, again in Second Life.
Would love to get your thoughts on this! (Would especially love to hear from teachers who are using VW's in the classroom.)
