For our ongoing maths projects and our upcoming space inquiry we are using our open-sim 3D world - Pleasantville, to develop some skills and demonstrate our learning. This 3D environment is our own private learning space, which allows us to create and express in some amazing ways.

Educators looking for OpenSim alternatives to Second Life are currently limited to ReactionGrid or Jokaydia Grid, which is operated by ReactionGrid - or have to set up their own grid. That changed this week when Houston-based FireSabre Consulting, a virtual world developer focused on educational and non-profit clients, launched its own Starlight grid.

This site will help you create scripts for your Second Life objects. These scripts allow you to add interactive elements to your builds without knowing how to code. All of the script are released under a creative commons license, which means that you can use them freely! This site tries to map the way you think into the way the LSL interpreter thinks. First choose what you want your object to do, then when you would like it to happen. You may be prompted to add some additional information. For example, you can create a script that will give a landmark to an avatar when they click on an object, prompt them to load your web site when they say "web" in chat, or simply welcome them to your land.

A Holodeck stores Second Life scenes and lets you load them from a menu when ever you want. The old scene is cleared and the new one appears. Scenes can include any prim objects including furniture, pose balls and particle generators.
