Use this form to create your new Second Life avatar and account, and to optionally join the NMC Community. Once the information is processed, you will recieve an email confirmation and instructions for logging into Second Life.

A password is required to access the NMC Second Life registration engine. If you are a bonafide educator, and agree to abide by the terms and conditions of use -- essentially that you will only use the tool for bonafide educational purposes, and will not share the password outside your classes and department, we will happily provide the login to you via email. Please make your request to secondlife@nmc.org. If you have an official school email address, just drop an email to secondlife@nmc.org from your school email account (eg, .edu, .k12, cc, .ac.uk, .edu.au, etc) and you'll be automatically approved and sent login instructions. If you do not have an official school address, we're sorry, but under Linden Lab rules, we cannot allow you access to the system.

Since July 2007, people have created new Second Life accounts via this web site (see latest usage statistics).

This registration form is to enable educators to create new accounts in Second Life. Upon creation, these new avatars will enter the virtual world on NMC's own orientation experiences - one created specifically for educators. We offer two choices- for those who will use the current Sl Viewer 2, you will be sent to the new NMC Welcome Center, an orientation that uses the media capabilities of the new client software. For educators who have built materials around the original Sl viewer, we offer the capability for newly created avatars to enter on the NMC Orientation Island where the experience is built around the tools of the version 1.x SL client.

Beyond this, you have the option to join the NMC Community- we will provide instructions for how to join our in world groups that give you access to the NMC Campus. Plus you can elect to sign up to be on our mailing list for notifications of NMC events.

If you join the NMC community, we will use your email address only if you elect to recieve notices of NMC events. We do not store your Second Life passwords in our web site- if you have lost your password, you can recover it via the the Second Life web site. If you do not join the NMC community, the only information we store is a timestamp so we can track the usage of this service.
