About+this+Tutorial



=Welcome =

The lack of an easily accessible basic tutorial is one of the things that I have found frustrating in trying to get educators who have no experience into SL to participate in professional development.

This tutorial is intended to cover the basics of
 * Registering your account
 * Moving (walking, flying, sitting, standing)
 * Communicating (local chat, IM, voice)
 * Inventory
 * Menu options and setting preferences
 * Your profile
 * Things to do to get started

It is not intended to be exhaustive and additional resources will be pointed out during the tutorial for those who wish to move on to more advanced skills. I have set the tutorial up with tasks that will help the newbie connect to SL and I have suggested that participants blog about their experiences. I have found that taking the time to reflect about your experiences will help you to cement your learning.

If you have additional resources that can be added to assist those new to SL or looking for more advanced skills, please contact me and I will be happy to add them.
