Where do educators create virtual world environments that enhance teaching and learning?
To answer that, we will have five educational teams hosting virtual tours to explore what they and their students have been creating.
Some tours have special requirements for connecting to their environment and our hosts have provided an overviews. Click on each tour link below (or on the event in the conference calendar) for more information and for ‘how to join’ instructions.
We invite you to join us and hope you can share your learning experiences with our social media platforms (Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Flickr) using the hashtag: #VWtours.
It is important to note that you should be at the tour location 15 minutes before we start. If you have difficulties or questions, please contact LoriVonne Lustre at [email protected].
