This week at Second Life and Lunch we will continue work on our group project to categorize the educational places into an easy to find collection organized using the Dewey Decimal System.

Tips for creating notecards:
- Keep new residents in mind and give clear directions for finding content at the location.
- Keep your colleagues in mind and use technical terms for your field of study when talking about content.
- You don't have to use the landmark given to you at the location. Create a landmark where you want the tour to start.
- Create a landmark for all main points of interest at the location.
- If you use multiple landmarks for a location, rename the landmarks to match the specific area on the tour.
- Drag and drop landmarks into the notecard. This makes them a clickable link to easily teleport to the location.
- Sign your REAL name and your position at the end of the note card. This gives credibility to your review of the location.
