An excellent introduction to machinima with a great list of links for examples and further reading.

A good overview and introduction to producing machinima in Second Life.

I was directed here after watching a video from secondclassroom.ning.com about using SL to create Machinima videos. It shows examples of Machinima movies for 6th and 8th grade. I am most interested in the integration of 6th grade social studies curriculum of Greek gods.

An installation of Guantanamo Bay Prison in SL. I have to be honest, I have yet to be able to explore it after repeated tries over the past week. I've read about it and am intrigued, but my avatar is unable to collect the prison uniform necessary for the experience. I'm going to keep trying because it looks fascinating. Below is a link to a machinima produced about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QT7p231Cfxk

Ernst & Young Simulation using Second Life. Nice video showing the entire process. Very good example of using 3D social simulations to train in processes and procedures. Notice the coaching opportunities.

Great example of middle school student created projects on Teen Second Life. Note how sixth graders hire 8th graders using Lindens and project manage collaborative problem solving. Doable, highly engaging and tied to core content.
