SL seminar in Paijat-Hame Edu Island

After two more weeks, Friday the 17th of October 2008, there will be a Finnish Second Life seminar organized by the Koulutuskeskus SALPAUS from Lahti, Finland (mentioned also in Le's and Sammy's blogs). The program and the registration can be found from the website [http://slseminaari.blogspot.com/]. Online participating (only half of the day) by Second Life is for free, real world participating in Lahti takes 80 euros.

There is Paijat-Hame Edu Island in the Second Life, one of the newest Finnish educational sims. This sim also offers buildings for business purposes around Lahti region. In one corner of the island the famous Salpausselkä sporting centre's slopes for ski jumping can be easily found. In the center of the island there are buildings for learning activities including several rooms and halls for collaboration and meetings where the conference will be held also I assume.

There are also a beach and a park for relaxing and a bar for chit chatting and a playing ground with some interactive games. In the another corner there is also a sandbox with the basic intstructions for learning building skills.

Inspired by the famous flying Finns I flew to the sandbox and after a minute (or maybe an hour) I succeed to create a Finnish flag with a wooden curved handle (see picture).
