The Education Community is Among the Most Vibrant and Active in Second Life
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.
