Hi Everyone: I've been working with a group of nonprofit technology folks and TechSoup to research the possibilities of nonprofit participation in Second Life. There will be a "mixed reality" event next Tuesday, July 18th at 6:00 p.m PST. See: http://beth.typepad.com/beths_blog/2006/07/announcing_the_.html
Curious about Second Life, but totally new to virtual worlds? That's why we're hosting a very informal newbie introduction on Friday, July 14th at 2:00 EST. Several educational technology folks who have mentored newcomers will be there as well as a few nonprofit representatives. Before you attend, sign up for a second life account at http://www.secondlife.com and build your avatar. Then join us "in-world" at the TechSoup Office by clicking this link: http://tinyurl.com/ogbpd For more newbie and How-To information, check out the Second Life wiki: http://secondlife.com/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=How-Tos Beth Kanter Beth Kavka in Second Life P.S.
