Event Description

Be one of the first to visit the British Council Isle in Second Life's Main Grid.

Planned as a 3D self-access centre for 13-17 year-old English language learners in the teen grid of Second Life, the island has recently been copied (virtual brick by virtual brick!) to the main grid to make it easier for the British Council to showcase what they are doing to adult educators who do not have teen grid access.

Come for the first ever tour of the island (it will open officially later in the month - don't try to go beforehand as it is not open to the public ).

Try out the Merlin Quest (win a copy of Excalibur if you finish it!), stroll through Sherwood forest, take a ride on the Loch Ness monster or simply admire the view from the virtual White Cliffs of Dover.

RSVP before the day vital - only the avatars listed here will be added to the guest list of the island for the day

Guided Tour: Sunday GMT 08.00-09.00 (the island will also stay open later this day for those of you who want to explore on your own)

Comment by Laura Adriance on February 12, 2009 at 2:44pm: So, this event is 8am GMT. Is that right? (Not 8am SLT)
That would mean it is midnight SLT, I think. Correct?

I very much want to attend but the date and time are challenging. Are there any plans to offer another tour that would be at a better time for folks who live elsewhere?

Comment by James O'Reilly on February 15, 2009 at 7:58pm: Yes, GMT... Please ask the event organizer about other schedules.

Comment by James O'Reilly on February 15, 2009 at 8:00pm: The event is open later during the day.
