An introduction to Second Life (SL) - a multi-user virtual environment - and the implications and opportunities it presents for education at all levels. After discussing the concept of SL and MUVEs, we consider why SL is relevant and important to the Education industry. Ideally, participants will have created a SL account and avatar prior to the seminar and be prepared to go "on the grid" to explore opportunities to connect with other educators working "in world" and to tour educationally-oriented locations in Second Life. We conclude by discussing several issues of which educators beginning a professional SL should be aware.
