The viewer tutorial in Spanish is online.
This is the latest version, with new pages for how to stand up and camera controls, that are very important and very difficult to explain without the tutorial.
The new pages will be added to the tutorials in other languages.

Lost/stuck/frozen during Excursion class?
.
If you get lost or crash during Excursion class IM the class runner.
If you get stuck in a place (just like it happened last Friday) and you cannot walk away, and teleport doesn't work, do this:
- Go to EDIT/PREFERENCES/GENERAL. The first preference is START LOCATION. Check mark SHOW START LOCATION ON LOG IN. Click on APPLY, then OK.
- Log out of Second Life.
- Go to the school's website: http://www.drive-through-esl.info/
- Click on JOIN CLASS. It's inside the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen)
- In the new page click on GO! at the bottom of the screen.
- In the new page click on TELEPORT NOW.
- You'll log in at the infohub. IM the class runner and ask to be teleported to class.
- Go to EDIT/PREFERENCES/GENERAL. The first preference is START LOCATION. Check mark SHOW START LOCATION ON LOG IN. Click on APPLY, then OK.
- Log out of Second Life.
- Start Second Life. Before clicking on Log In go to and type "Matamata" into it.
Then click on Log In. IM the class runner and ask to be teleported to class.
How many students per class?
Friday there were 10 students at Excursion class. Sunday there were 7 students at Voice class (Skype). It all went well but we reached the limit and we closed the class.
So please keep in mind that:
The maximum number of students per class depends on their level, the type of class and technical conditions.
The class runner and the teacher can decide at anytime to stop adding new students and close the class.
If you arrive late the class runner might tell you that the class is closed.
If you know in advance you will attend the lesson, please tell the class runner.
LAST STUDENT:
The class runner and the teacher want to let as many student as possible attend the class, but their priority is to make sure the class runs smoothly (enough time for each student, good technical conditions)
If technical conditions become worse after adding a new student, the class runner might ask the last student to leave.
It's a very sad thing, so try to not be the last student.
Btw, Excursion class didn't really go well, but it's another story.
Classes using Skype
WHY SKYPE CLASSES?
For the students who have any kind of problem with Second Life.
Computer does not meet system requirements
WHAT HAPPENS DURING SKYPE CLASSES?
Skype classes are like classes in Second Life without the avatar.
Visit the class calendar and click on the lesson for a description.
For the students who cannot come to class in Second Life.
Second Life is a program that requires a good video card and a fast internet connection. Some computers are not powerful enough to start with, other computers become old and so slow that the students cannot log in anymore.
Some students cannot use it and some other students have to quit.
Students have to be at least 18 year old to register and use Second Life.
