Educators, learners, and librarians  in the metaverse:  

How to find others with similar interests.

We educators figured out how to find each other in the metaverse. And you can find us that way, too.

Purpose

• The purpose of the SL Educational SIM Move is to bring educational communities together in a main grid with goals that include:
• Creating welcoming educational spaces that newcomers can easily find, that promote interaction among residents, and that provide safe, fun, attractive and easy links to the larger educational community.
• Providing educators already active in SL with a safe networking and teaching environment that addresses the concerns of their institutions’ administrators.
• Affording a gateway experience that can be used to encourage groups and institutions not already in SL to perceive the educational value of social virtual worlds.
• Advancing collaborative educational opportunities.
• Documenting and archiving best practices of learning in virtual environments.
• Advocating the educational potential for Second Life to new learners and educators.
• Supporting diversity and inclusion.
• Educators who do not choose to move to the new Edulands grid will still be featured by VWEC, included in the directory and may have a portal for easy location.
