Welcome from Fleep - CCK08SL - Connectivism in Second Life Co...

*Second Life as a platform has many limitations, but there are some things
that it is exceptionally well-suited for, including:  Holding discussions
and meetings in text chat or voice; building and creating 3D collaborative
objects, projects, spaces, and models; roleplaying and simulations; and
more.

- Hold group or individual conversations in voice chat (you will need a
headset/microphone to participate, they can be purchased at any electronics
store for between $30-$50USD.  I strongly encourage you to pick one up as
voice conversations can cover much more ground than text conversations -
especially for slow typists!)
