Have you ever...

  • Wanted to participate in the virtual reality world of Second Life, but didn't know how?
  • Tried to participate in Second Life, but got frustrated and gave up?
  • Participated in Second Life, but got really embarassed when...
    • Your avatar accidentally sat on someone's head?
    • You somehow removed all your avatar's clothes in the middle of a meeting?
    • Got stuck in a wall and couldn't see what was going on?
  • Wondered where to find different clothes, skin, shape...and then how to wear them?
  • Had non-philosophical, non-theological questions about Second Life that you'd like answered?

Then this is just for you:

Saturday, October 10th at 1pm Pacific / 2pm Mountain / 3pm Central / 4pm Eastern time

A basic small-group class that assumes nothing, expects nothing, and costs nothing, but will cover basic functionality in Second Life:

  • How to move your avatar around, pick up objects, sit down, etc.
  • How to find people, places, and events in Second Life
  • How to actually GET to those places and events
  • How to communicate with people, in person or by message
  • How to change your avatar's appearance, and change clothing without flashing the world
  • Where to find things (especially free things) in Second Life

The class will begin at the Presbyterian Meeting House in Second Life, and eventually embark on a few, quick "field trips" to various helpful Second Life locations, all guided by one or more "veteran" members of our Second Life Presbyterian community.
