Second Life: Community of Practice
January 9, 2008
Assignment 3
The community that I will practice in is a LGBT social group in SL. I was drawn to this group because of the maturity level and almost classiness of the sim and its residents. They still joke around and have fun but adhere to the rules of the sim. There is a unity amongst them, everyone knows everyone and if they don’t they welcome the newcomer warmly. The owners make an effort to bring everyone together by offering multiple weekly activities and biweekly events. Even when there isn’t any activities going on you can still find a group of residents sitting around the campfire just chatting about both their Second Life and Real Life experiences.
