Cathy, this was a great resource!! Thank you! It was easy to look at the each site, the descriptions of it, and get teleported. I visited Astronomy and Info Island, got on the balloon ride and looked at the other places around.
This is excellent. I went to the planetarium and was able to view the night sky from the perspective of Australians. What a great experience for students to have! They put on a presentation that includes history of the telescope, Galileo, current research in space, and ancient views on the stars. The night sky just opens up. It is if you are sitting at the top of the world.
Thank you for sharing. I visited a few differect locations. It was interesting to see how some were more of just a meeting place and some were very interactive and informational.

YouTube channel - Avatars & 3D Viewers in SL and OS VWs.
You are creating a Second Life account / avatar... so, what SL Viewer should you use? SL Viewer Version 3, 2, 1.23 or one of the alternate 3rd party viewers such as Imprudence or Phoenix. I'll go for Imprudence since I'm on a mac and if you are accessing second life and OpenSim, it is the only option for me on a mac.
Good series of vidtuts from UCDavis
