What is Second Life?
• “… an Internet-based virtual world … developed by Linden Lab … users, called "Residents", interact with each other through … avatars … a social network … Residents can explore, meet other Residents, participate in individual and group activities, create and trade items and services ...”

What is Second Life?
• Second Life is:– An environment, a platform, a blank slate– Two ‘grids’: one for Teens, one for Adults– 100% user directed and controlled– Best experienced with a modern, powerful PC– Economically linked to the real world (Linden
$)– One of many virtual worlds (For a full list,
see: http://tinyurl.com/296lcm) – Highly social– Global– Free

What is Second Life?
• Second Life is NOT:– A “game”– A finished, complete, ready-to-use “thing”– Crowded– 100% ‘safe’ (like the web, there are ‘bad
places’)[“Teen Grid” projects ARE 100% safe!]
– Passive– Easy to use for people with poor
keyboarding skills!
