Some educators are becoming interested in the educational potential of Second Life. Part of the process of determining what one thinks probably includes spending some time experiencing the environment for yourself.
Getting started should be easier (or may be I am impatient or don’t understand the gamer mentality of learning from the environment). New participants are immediately entered into a “training setting” that results in familiarity with the basics. It was not obvious to me what to do next.
My strategy in such situations is predictably old school. I buy a book. I bought the official guide or something like that and did learn some general information, but not the practical knowledge I expected.
I came across an online (or downloadable) resource that is at least the equivalent of the resource I purchased – The Unofficial Complete Fool’s Guide to Second Life. Sounds like it was written for me, but you may find it useful as well.
