SECOND LIFE
SECOND LIFE (SL) for Educators
On 7th November I came across this news in the Guardian
The Guardian

then I went into this link and created an account...

Launched in 2003 by Linden Lab, Second Life is said to have over 850,000 registered users who inhabit the 3D world via personalised avatars.
Users walk, fly and teleport around the virtual land's locations. The goal of the game is to have social interactions and do business with other players.
