These may be of interest: 3D worlds in education but not Secondlife, its 
using  Croquet software which I think is based on Squeak. (which aligns it 
with Etoys, Scratch etc) It seems to have links to Carnegie Mellon 
University though a commercial venture. Edusim is free open source. The post 
is from the serious games list:

"Any other Serious gamers out there experimenting with 3D Virtual
Environments on Interactive Surfaces in the Classroom? The classroom
interactive whiteboard's (Smartboards, Mimio, Ebeam, Wiimote
Whiteboard) seem idea for these these types of simulations &
multi-user 3D environments.

Here are a few demo videos of the Edusim work we are doing at Greenbush.
