Intro to SL - Begins Today

I have a lot going on in the SL world. Today I started “Introduction to Second Life for Educators, a course conducted through The Sloan Consortium and offered to us "free" through OLN. It runs through September 12. The CMS is Moodle so that's a new tool for me to use. I've started responding to the forums and teleporting to some of the slurls and taking my photo at these places. It looks like there are some great resources available, and the facilitators have been involved in SL for a few years. Unfortunately, since I'm attending the SL Convention and staying in Florida a little longer, I won't be able to attend all the live sessions. Taking an online course is time consuming. I've spent about three hours today on this course so far. I'm also meeting some new AVs through this course.
