Places+to+See+Notecard

The primary work on this is done. There are two tasks left to be taken care of and I'd like one person to sign up to do this. The places below need to be organized into some semblance of order and then the result needs to be copied from here and pasted into a notecard. Please add your name as the organizer below if you're willing to take this on.

ORGANIZER: Ulani D (Completed April 15th 2010 1:08PM) New Organized Places To See

The following is a list of places that might be of interest to visit. One of the things about SL is that it is constantly changing - places disappear and many new ones show up. Feel free to share some or all of the items. Also, if you collect any LM and places you like, or places that are no longer available, please AJ Brooks know so I can update this master list for future distribution

 * Virtual Ability Orientation Area and Island**. One of the best orientation areas I've seen yet. Worth a visit and there are always people around and plenty to see. This island is a great way for SL users to learn basic skills such as camera rotation and angles, how to fly and interact with other SL avatars.

[|http://slurl.com/secondlife/NMC Orientation/108/112/39/]
 * NMC Orientation Island**. If you've not done the whole street, complete that - or feel free to pop over there to hone your skills and fill in some gaps. Behind the street is another little plaza that has other kiosks. This island gives the users a more in depth experiance of what you can really do when using your avatar in SL. SL is more that just a social network, but a place for creation and opportunity. NMC Orientation Island can teach users how to stream video, learn about "Lindens", take photographs, learn basic building skills..etc to enhance the SL experience.

 * Ivory Tower of Primatives**. This is where you can begin to learn to build. You don't need to do the whole Tower at once - feel free to try some things out, get some notecard, and then head back to our parcels to practice. You can return to the Tower any time you want. This is a place to learn the different shapes you will be using to build within SL.

[|http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hyles/124/208/1002/]
 * And for those looking to get into scripting, there is the **Linden Script Tutorial Exhibit**. This exhibit allows for users to learn basic scripting skills to give your own creation's animation and character. Be sure to take the note cards (located underneath the examples) for quick future reference.

[]
 * For a more comprehensive learning area, the **College of Scripting, Music and Science** is the place for you. Granted there are no freebies in this area, the walls are decorated with directions for how to script. Also, the place allows for the rezzing of objects so you can practice while you read the many pictures.

[|http://slurl.com/secondlife/Montclair State CHSSSouth/174/115/21/]

[|http://slurl.com/secondlife/Montclair State CEHSADP/86/205/23]
 * Go visit **Freud's Office**, **Freud's Iceberg**, and the **Theorist's Project**. Highly suggest going through the Freud's Iceberg as it is a physical representation of the subconscious mind. It's fun AND educational.

[|http://slurl.com/secondlife/Info Island/53/197/33]
 * Check out **Info Island**. There are eight (I believe) islands, all dedicated to library services and learning. Make sure to stop by the Reference Desk and say hi to the librarian on duty. Remember they are there when your working on your papers and projects for class. These peopel are real librarians in real libraries from around the world.

This one can be a bit disturbing. Be sure to read all the signs and notecards before participating.
 * Virtual Hallucinations - Sedig** - Make sure you have headphones on before entering this area, which is an interactive tour recreating specific patient's experiences with Schizophrenia. This is a very interesting exhibit and unique experience in Second Life. []

They have there own race track which you can rez karts off of a pre-shown kart.

It is just a good way to see how scripts make things work in second life.

But when on the island, there is a castle, a patio with a pool in it, a random city with two taxis crashed and burning. This place is not well layed out, however interesting. It seems like a place you could film different movie scenes in.

Some of them you can not go in or around, others you may go in but most houses have timers to kick people out unless they leave themselves.

French school in Second Life. []
