Virtual Environment in education
9
“A growing number of educators and researchers have tapped into the educational potential of virtual environments. Educators have found virtual environments useful for teaching and research, although getting past technical requirements and issues can sometimes be challenging. Many of the properties of virtual environments seem to be conducive for good learning: they tend to be interactive, engaging, safe places for students to learn by doing and experimentation, and they provide scaffolding and immediate feedback.”

Sculptris: A world of digital 3D art without barriers.

This looks like a great free tool for creating 3D art work. It seems very straight foward and easy to use. You need to download the free software, but there is a version for both MAC and PC.

Are Virtual Worlds (still) Relevant in Education?

Back in 2005, the growth of Second Life (SL), which was the first social virtual world without overt MMORPG game mechanics, seemed to herald the age of educational virtual world use. SL got the attention of educators because it wasn't a "game" and allowed users to build environments and programmed objects along with social interaction. Sudden increased awareness of the platform served as a "Technology Trigger" that had instructional technologists and educators clamoring to collaborate on ways to utilize this new tool.
