Virtual Visit

We flew to Alsaka South today in class. I walked around, flew, talked with others, swam, and went exploring. I had no idea this morning as I was biking up Old Main that I was actually going to be in another state in a few minutes. :)
Setting up virtual worlds could be used in the classroom for role playing, a way to make up homework if a student has to be absent for a long period of time by having virtual assignments or discussions, if I am teaching them geography or history the students could visit a virtual model of that setting and explore the setting they are learning about. If I were to use this in a class I would probably try and use a virtual world like the one we went to that was already set up, otherwise it would take so much time to do it that it wouldn't be worth it because it would cut into my other lesson preparations.
