Second Life Explorers

A few of us from Wheaton began exploring Second Life together last week, and we've got another virtual meeting scheduled for this coming Thursday. Here's a group portrait from our last trip, taken at the NMC Campus:



Obviously, educational applications of Second Life are our focus and the NMC Campus is a perfect starting point. Here is a great list of educational sites that we should also start looking at:

Wired's Travel Guide to Second Life

Well, I have been neglecting this blog lately. I don't have much of an excuse... just busy, I guess.

Anyway, I couldn't resist this. We're starting to explore the use of SecondLife at Wheaton. In fact, we have some time set aside this afternoon to do a little exploring. Unfortunately, one of the main features that allows you to explore -- the place search in SL -- seems to be down at the moment. I think Linden Labs is having a bit of trouble after their recent upgrade.

So, I went off looking for some good slurl's (Second Life locations) on the web and found this Wired article, published in October 2006 -- a great primer for noobs like myself. If I don't have time this afternoon to explore these places, I will definitely be there tonight.

BTW, I may have mentioned this before, but my SL name is Paul Story. If you're in game, look me up!
