Yesterday, I was quite impressed with Carl Anderson’s presentation of “Online Virtual Environments in Education” at SEMTEC’s Techspo in Stewartville, MN. He used a program called Active World and built virtual 3d webquests. It was truly and AWESOME project and I think that kids are going to enjoy it immensely as it has much of the “video gaming” feel. We need to investigate this technology more as we look at the future – not only curriculum delivery but an alternative method of professional development. It is definitely a head turner. Thanks Carl!
