Hi and welcome to the club,
being a primary teacher you run into problems with Second Life because of it's terms and conditions.
At eligibility to use second life (point no. 2) says this to access the General area (the lowest age possible) that anyone has to be over 16 years old.
Primary school students are way under that age. Therefore you might start by excluding Second Life from your platform plans.
I would add, being a experienced user that it might not be nice that a kid sees a S&M master with 3 chained slaves walking around general area!
Many things that shouldn't happen, do happen there… and let's not even talk on Moderate or Adult only!
Your only option might be to use a closed to class Open Sim.
Metaverse does offer indeed ways to teach that are interactive. In the end you need to really think if a wise kid doesn't end up entering SL
and gets a item that he uploads to the class that is XXX.
Can you have Open Sim, yes you can! Will you have to guard the SIM and all it's contents, absolutely.
Not an easy task and quite a responsability!
I too entered SL thinking it might be a good thing for a corporate presence but after I saw sex coffins with hundreds of 'animations' it was enough!
To play and explore by myself, sure. SL ain't 100% sex but 80% in one way or the other has something to do with it… a sex rug, a bed, a picture that let's have sex on a wall… the boundaries of where you can have sex are limitless
Maybe you start with that idea and then just have fun with your husband discovering SL
or you really have a plan and decide to go Open Sim, one thing is certain if some universities use it, it also means there is ways to use it for younger audiences under strict supervision! To mitigate the risks you have to get very skilled!!!
Check the examples they have in education and the best practices, check courses that happen inworld and imagine that scenario
try to figure out a world where you must control every aspect of it .After all if it is a Open Sim for kids and if problems happen it will be ultimately your fault!
You know wise kids can do many things that they shouldn't do right
Think, see, learn and then decide…
Cheers,
