[SL] If you haven't already...download our SL curriculum
Recently we released our Second Life Curriculum which focuses on a series of 9 levels of lessons plans geared either to use within a classroom or independently to learn Second Life skills.
You can download them directly from RezEd.org. And another great thing about the curriculum is that we are offering it under a creative commons licensing (BY, NC, SA), so feel free to edit them to your needs.
We have gotten lots of great feedback and members of the educational community that have jumped in to help continue to evolve and contribute to the curriculum. Jeremy Kemp has created a great wiki space if you are interested in this - visit it here. He is also working on integrating it with Sloodle and a within SL version as well.
We will also be offering printed copies for sale on LuLu - stay tuned!
The summary of all nine levels are below, along with a link back to the post on RezEd where you can download them. You can also download a version of all levels compiled together here.
