The University of Hawaii is planning an internet graduation for it's students that will be taking place virtually in Second Life. The article mentions that even some students are planning parties with family and friends. What do you think about this? I have never heard of something like this happening. I think it is definitely different, but there is a part of me that would still want the traditional graduation and receive an actual diploma. Something about walking into that huge arena of all those people makes the day feel larger than life, which it should from all of the hard work that is put into it. (Now I'm just referring back to graduating high school and imagining what it will be like to finally be done with College!). Maybe that some feeling of accomplishment and hard will be there for these students graduating. Whichever way you feel about it, you have to agree, it is something that shows us how technology really gives us a world that is full of limitless possibilities.
