Download the Second Life browser and create your Second Life avatar:

Once you have downloaded the browser and created your avatar and browsed the information about Second Life, log in to the Second Life browser and please proceed to this slurl (second life url): WV Education http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/WV%20Education/128/128/28

You should spend a little time on Newbie Island and learn to move and communicate and then go to WV Education Island.

I developed this island in partnership with the West Virginia Department of Education. Please explore it and try things out. Have some fun and learn to be an avatar. Next week, we will schedule a synchronous meeting time, and go on a virtual tour of how SL is being used for educational purposes.

A note of clarification: We will meet at the same time IN SECOND LIFE, at the slurl that I posted above. That means you will need your avatar and have your headsets with microphones so that we can talk and text during the tour.

Here is the [|Doodle] link. As before, make sure you are as flexible as possible, to make it easy for us to schedule this meeting. || Oct. 17 to the extent possible ||
