【class work】Second Life®

Is a 3-D virtual world created by its Residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by millions of Residents from around the globe.

Create an Avatar

The Second Life world is a place dedicated to your creativity.
After all, an avatar is your persona in the virtual world. The picture below shows how easy it is to create your avatar. Despite offering almost infinite possibilities, the tool to personalize your avatar is very simple to use and allows you to change anything you like, from the tip of your nose to the tint of your skin. Don't worry if it's not perfect at first, you can change your look at any time.

Explore

When a place is as big as the Second Life world and has so many things to do, the first question people ask is, "Where do I start?".

We recommend three tools to help you start exploring. As an example, let's pretend you're looking for a good place to party and meet people.
  1. The Map. Imagine you want to find people socializing. View upcoming events' information on the web map by clicking the the green dots being shown.
  2. The Search Menu. Now you'd like to learn more about a particular event you saw on the web map. Search for it, and read its description. It sounds great, and you teleport there.
  3. Other People. Once you arrive, right-click on anybody's avatar and choose "View Profile" to learn about them.

Have Fun

In the Second Life world, there's something new around every corner.
The world is filled with hundreds of games, from multi-player RPG's to puzzles and grid-wide contests. There are also dance clubs, shopping malls, space stations, vampire castles and movie theatres.

To find something to do at any time of the day or night, simply open the Search menu and click on Events. You'll see a listing of Discussions, Sports, Commercial, Entertainment, Games, Pagaents, Education, Arts and Culture and Charity/Support Groups.
Regardless of your mood, there's always something to do... ( fromhttp://secondlife.com/ )
