In approximately 30 minutes, we will be rebooting regions on the Second Life Grid for a server upgrade. Each region will be given a warning of a few minutes before the region actually restarts, leaving everyone to scramble to another region before being logged out. We will post back when the grid is done rolling and the update is over. Thanks!

Filed under: Educational, Great Builds, Teaching
Having reported on some bad feelings floating around about the media and teaching, let’s have a success story for the teachers! Following on from my questions about history in SL we have the intriguing Renaissance Island which brings Tudor England (complete with visits from Henry VIII) to Second Life.
At some level you might think this is just another themed build. At some level it is another themed build, and there are the inevitable themed shops as well. There are some interesting differences though. This place is designed for teaching history in a proper setting, that gives a slightly different feel to the sim to my mind: everything is themed (I was politely dressed, but in a far from Tudor costume and felt uncomfortable even when no one was around). The people I’ve met there have been, unless there were also visitors, properly dressed and speaking in something that sounds like Tudor English to me.
Prithee, hie thee to the market and relate to me your thoughts messires and mesdames.

[UPDATE: having issues; working on it!] In the category “It’s About Time”, Second Life Insider is proud to bring you our first podcast: On the Inside, Episode 1!
This will be a recurring feature, every couple of weeks at first, featuring an interview with a prominent resident or associated media figure, and discussion of recent news stories. For our inaugural ‘cast, we spoke with Nethermind Bliss, one of the coordinators of the upcoming SLCC 2007. I’m joined by Aimee Weber and moo money, and a blast was had by all!
Please feel free to drop your comments and questions; if we like them, they could get a mention on our next episode! Enjoy!

Memoris is a virtual graveyard, a necropolis for Second Life. The gentle, rolling green hills are studded with ethereal grey placeholders.
