2020 #VWEDU: Web-worlds as a place to get together in a pandemic. Parents, teachers, students, tweens, teens, museums, field trips. . All at home in web browsers.

Web-worlds as a place to get together in a pandemic.  

Parents, teachers, students, tweens, teens, museums, field trips. 

All at home in web browsers.

Web-worlds are digitally simulated places that people visit in a browser.  People appear as avatars of their own choice. We can talk, show images, play videos, walk around the place and do many of the things we normally do face to face--but we can't swap germs.
