</div>
:Links to websites with information and videos about education in '''SL'''
 
:'''SLURLs''' - "teleport" hyperlinks that lead ''directly to'' locations in the virtual world ('''VW''')
The education community is the fastest growing and among the most vibrant, active, and dynamic in Second Life. The email lists and groups are free to join and are places where you can listen to the conversations or join in. When you ask a question to the group, you are drawing on a deep well of experience and good will, where people generously share best practices, common mistakes, quick tips, and make connections.
==Networking==
 
Email lists and groups are free; listen to the conversations or ''join in''. Make connections with others sharing best practices, common mistakes, and quick tips. Questions asked to the group draw on many years of experience.
