Games and Virtual Environments

Identify five virtual environments available for classroom use.
  • J. Paul Getty Museum website: http://getty.edu/museum/
  • River City Science Inquiry Project: http://muve.gse.harvard.edu/rivercityproject/
  • Quest Atlantis: http://atlantis.crlt.indiana.edu/
  • CliniSpace: http://clinispace.com/
  • AquaMOOSE 3D: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/elc/aquamoose/ 
These sites are pretty cool, as they provide virtual learning environments for students in topics such as science and math.  They are kind of like the simulations that we covered earlier in the semester and should provide important learning experiences for students.

    I really like the sites that you picked. I think that the J. Paul Getty site would be an excellent site to use when teaching history or civics!

    I think the sites are pretty cool too. I visited some of the sites and played around with some of the game, and they're pretty neat.

    Great sites. I have one to add,
    http://piggybank.disney.go.com/media/ap/piggybank/index.html
    This site is owned by Disney and offers students the opportunity to learn about money and the stock market. The game allows students to earn, save, and invest money. There is a game strategy guide that teaches children how to be responsible with their money in the game. It is an amazing game and is very user friendly. Best of all, its FREE. Check it out.
