Second Life and Lunch meetings (SLunch) begin Friday for this college year. Get your FREE avatar and join us.

The Kirkwood Second Life Group meets about once a week to explore the educational possibilities of the virtual world of Second Life and share ideas. Faculty, staff alumni and friends of Kirkwood Community College are welcome to join our group. We're here to help new members become familiar with how to use Second Life, where to find resources and answer questions.

Join us in the KCELT computer lab on main campus or log into Second Life from your location and meet us on the Kirkwood island. (You don't need an avatar to be a member of our group. Feel free to attend our meetings anytime or join the discussions on our Wiki and Facebook.)

Bring your lunch, bring a friend, and we hope to see you there!

There are only three "Second Life and Lunch" meetings remaining for the Spring semester.

At this week's meeting we're choosing an educational location to tour next week, so stop by and let your voice be heard. We will also work on individual and group projects. If you have a note card ready for the group project, be sure to give it to Alan Peterka or me to add to the collection for you. Please follow the tips for creating your note card that we put together at the start of the project here: http://kirkwoodslgroup.wetpaint.com/page/Dewey+Decimal+Signs

Feel free to stop by this week if you are interested in getting your own avatar or if you just want to look over the shoulder of one of our members to see what Second Life is all about.

I hope to see you this Thursday!

This week we're meeting on the Kirkwood Second Life island to work on individual and group projects. If you have a note card to turn in for the group project remember to send it to Alan Peterka or myself and we'll add it to the collection for you. Please include landmarks in your note card that highlight the must-see features of the location.

This is also a good time to stop by if you are interested in getting your own avatar or if you just want to look over the shoulder of one of our members to see what Second Life is all about.

We're going to tour an educational location later this month. We'll project that tour onto the big screen so you will not need an avatar to attend. Details to come.

I hope to see you this Thursday!

No Meeting This Week, but There's Lots to See on the Kirkwood Community College Second Life Island

No "Second Life and Lunch" meeting this week, but there's lots to see on the Kirkwood island. The island is open to all visitors and you can stop by at any time. You can browse through the recommended educational locations in the building on the island. Just click a sign for a teleport. The Wind Turbine Exhibit is under construction, but you can check out the progress of this build. Teleport to the Plague Sim build (above the clouds on the Kirkwood island) but don't get too close to the fresh burial plots in the cemetary or you might find your name on a headstone.
