Second Life Tutorials

I’m preparing for a Second Life workshop I’m slated to deliver in the near future. And this list of tutorials looks useful for participants and newcomers to Second Life. User created tutorials have come a long way. When I first tried installing Movable Type in 2001, I followed a written tutorial provided by the company. The process took quite a while (probably more to do with my skills than the manual). Now, with YouTube, podcasts, blogs, and wikis, excellent help resources are often available. There is, of course, nothing formal about this…just people helping each other. What’s their motivation? Most likely, at some point, they similarly benefited from an online tutor (whether learning how to use a piece of software or coming to understand a concept better because someone shared it in a blog or wiki). The teacher is the learner is the teacher.
