If you'd like to create an account in Second Life, create an Avatar, explore Second Life, and blog about it, you can do this instead of doing a news report or a reading report. You decide when you want to do this and make a note that you are going to do this instead of "News Report X" in your blog posting.
First, go to the Second Life website (http://secondlife.com) to create an account.
You will have to download the software to your computer (or to a university computer if that computer allows you) and create an Avatar.
The faster your computer the better. Second Life doesn't work very well on older, slower computers.
There is a bit of a learning curve so if you get frustrated or confused, you can find plenty of help here: http://secondlife.com/support/
After you've explored, write a blog posting about this (at least 250 words). Tell me how it went, what you saw, what the potential is for education, etc.
