Help+Island

=D. Help Island=

The first location you arrive, after creating and logging into your account, should be "Help Island". This is a location where "newbies" (new avatars to SL) learn basic skills such as walking, flying, sitting and altering their appearance (Oh, 2007). Pay attention to the tutorial that pops up on your screen. This tutorial, as well as local greeters and mentors will be helpful in assisting you to learn some of the basic skills necessary to participate in the virtual world. Spend some time wandering around Help Island and learn what you can, however don't worry too much about learning all the necessary skills as we will be going through them in session #2. You will be on your own during the time on Help Island as it is only accessible to volunteers (mentors & greeters) and newbies (Pendragon, 2006).
