Education Support Faire
Welcome to the Education Support Faire wiki. Support for Real Life Educators in Second Life comes from both Linden Lab and Resident Support Organizations. The goal of this wiki is to provide links and information on all support opportunities that can help Real Life Educators succeed.
This is a living document that will grow and evolve over time. Initially it will be used to share details on the first Education Support Faire, but we would like to see it evolve into a frequently updated resource that helps direct Real Life Educators to new Linden Lab support channels as well as Resident Support Organizations.
