    Are you an educator seeing positive results from using Second Life? We’d love to hear from you! Please join us in this Education Forum thread to share your answers to the following questions:


    What educational organization do you represent? How do you use SL in your educational endeavors? Most importantly, what positive results have you seen from using SL? From direct conversations, press coverage, and the like, we’ve heard of a number of organizations seeing positive results using Second Life for education, but we’re always eager to hear more and we hope you’ll add your voice to the thread.
    Thanks!

    If you missed out on the nifty, interactive adventure of Dungeons & Nightmares during the Second Life 13th Birthday celebrations — the good news is  —  it’s back! You don’t want to miss out on the fun. Torley Linden and I tackled it together  —  as you need a friend to take on some of the puzzles. Find a good friend to help you make it through to the end!
    It’s no secret that I love to shop in Second Life. I really enjoy going to stores and browsing designs from creators — both familiar and new (to me!), but I also really enjoy when events go all out to create a certain theme and mood. From the build to the items offered — Enchantment is just one of many shopping events that do it really well!
    My house in the physical world is a mashup homage to classic horror movies and the 1950s  —  so any kind of 50s build in Second Life is worth checking out — as far as I am concerned! Drop by the 50s Diner  —  which blends that Sock Hop nostalgia of yester-years with full on biker badass-ery. It’s simply ginchy!
    There’s plenty more brewing in Second Life — and the Destination Guide editorial team has surfaced some of the best new places — all you have to do is scroll below.
    Don’t forget — the official Second Life Flickr page is where we select images to feature on our social media channels as part of the Pic of the Day program. It’s also the perfect place to share your inworld adventures for posterity.
    You can also submit your spot for Destination Guide consideration, if it’s not there and you’d like it to be.

    Now  — ready, set, login!
