IM me "in world," and I'll show you some of the educational sites I know of. I'm also working with the Sloan Consortium to organize a group for college and university educators interested in using SL and other technology. We have a group in SL and a Ning site at http://sloancslnet.ning.com/. Second Life has a lot of potential for education. IM me “in world,” and I’ll show you some of the educational sites I know of.

I have dropped a "Murdoch University Library Starter Pack" into your inventory. To find it, open your inventory and do a search for Murdoch University. It contains a bundle of notecards with landmarks and objects embedded in them. Particulalry useful are the bunch of Australian places in SL and Jo Kay and Sean's Educational sites. You will enjoy the "customizing your avatar" notecard, which has hints and tips about how to find cheap or free skins and hair for new avatars. While you are still a n00b, check out the GNUbie store in Indigo - the landmark is in the Starting Points from JJ Drinkwater. You can pick up very cheap gear there while you are still under 24 days old. Have fun.... Kathryn tells me it is quite alright for you to play about in SL as a new you.

Laura - I am not sure if it is brave person or absolutely crazy. This is one Web 2.0 tools that I feel way out of my depth with -- in a really uncomfortable way. Kevin - thanks for sending me the link to the site on fashion -- I am now totally freaking out at the thought of going SL shopping (I can't stand shopping in RL) and WTF the suggestions on her site about buying nice skin if you are planning on stripping in SL ---boy I must have lead a sheltered life. Russel - thanks for joining me in SL hopefully when someone is free we will do a proper tour together. Christine - the bit I love the best is being skinner but really worried about the warning on the link Kevin gave me about SL relationships. I only went in there because I wanted to attend meetings with other educators. Sarah - what can I say...not quite sure what I have got myself into. Jane - thanks for the link to the Island --let me know when you go in and I will join you. Sonia - I think you need to work on my real life fashion sense -- here am I working with you and you let me dress like crap. Alex M - look forward to catching up with you one day in SL when you have time for a tour. Alex H - hate to think which picture of us in SL you plan to use in the blog post --- all were a bit of a worry! Thanks everyone for all your comments and thoughts.
