  This is a great resource for new SL Edtec Professionals.
  Location: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/EdTech/108/133/24
  EDTECH ISLAND, Boise State
  Our group's overall impressions: This site is built from Edtech colleagues at Boise State University. It has multiple resources for teachers just beginning to meld their understanding of Educational Technology with the virtual world and 2nd life possibilities. Edtech Island is well established with good scenery and appears to have been active for many years.
  Although I have only completed day 1 of the 8 day tutorial, it appears to have a great self-guided learning tool for understanding construction and it is complete with all their resources.

  This site has multiple buildings specific to certain areas of instruction. ... ex: Teacher Education in Virtual Worlds, etc.
  Check out the beautiful lodge http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/EdTech/65/205/24
  There is alot of great FREE take-always.. including textures and colors... and they greet you with a free gift bag!
  Also visit Cybrary Square:

  This appears to be a community of buildings (possibly built by edtech students) each building with a unique theme... Special Education, K-8 education, K-8 art, Gold Rush, Job Opportunities building etc.
  There is much to learn from this land. As teachers learning.. you can collect tools to help with your world design. There are opportunities for collecting facts, taking quizzes, games, links to other resources, treasure hunts, and videos.
  Some of the best things available are the unique organization of the site with pathways and building signs for easy navigation. The FREE teacher tools are exceptional and they even have an avatar to greet you.
