Today in class Peter Blair came in and worked with us on a virtual website. The program we used is called Science Sim. You can go in there are create an avatar of yourself and change your clothes and chat with other people on your same island. This was really cool, but i had a hard time staying logged into this program because there were so many people on at the same time. The little time that i was able to be in there i thought that this was so fun and i could explore so much. I felt like this is definitely technology that would be fun for students to explore with. I think it would take a lot of patience as the teacher to get students to understand everything in this program, but it would be a great experience for both the students and myself. I hope to learn more about this and maybe use it in my classroom someday. Peter was so good to help us and work with us until we could understand it. I felt like this was a fun class and i learned something new!!!
