I am still doing my topic of Teen Second Life in the Classroom. My focus is on how teachers can use the Education Projects in Teen Second Life to hold online classes at home.

1.) Who uses the site?

Primarily teachers and students. Although, parents are a possible audience as well.

.2.) Where are they?

They can be in their classroom, at home, a meeting (where they introduce this), their office, their bedroom, etc.

3.) What do they want from this site? They will want to learn what exactly Teen Second life is. What are the benefits, and the issues. How it can be used in the classroom. How they can register, how they can set it up, and how to get their students to sign up and be involved.

4.) How does the text of the site address the users? The text will include simple step by step instruction on how to register for second life, what compatibility needs you must have in terms of your computer, how to set up your own private educational project on the Teen Life Grid, etc.

5.) How do the graphic elements of the site address the users?I want to add images of Teen Second Life as it's going on. Maybe screenshots of actual classes going on, or screenshots of the online schools (what the buildings look like, what the avatars look like, etc).
