2020 WW 3DWebWorldz: People working together. Students learning to work together. If you want people to learn, you have to give them practice.

3DWebWorldz:  People working together. 
Students learning to work together. 
People learn from practice. 
Telling is not teaching.

Effective learning requires bringing people people together.  You can do that on the internet,  We have been working together for years in installed virtual worlds.  More recently, we have been meeting in a browser.    We can't share germs or throw paint on each other.  But we can talk and share web content.   

• Watch on YouTube
• An educational workgroup meeting in a browser. 3DWebWordz

People can work together on the web?

• Social is not just fun and games.  Most work is social.
• And most work is going digital.  
• Traditional digital is a place where your only company is a flat web-page.
• 3D digital is a web page you walk into.
• A place where you meet people and collaborate with them.
• The video above shows that happening.
• A 3d place in your browser. As easy as going to a web page because it is a web page.
• An educational workgroup meeting in a browser. 3DWebWordz

• Update 8/13/2020 . Opensim Fest 2020 coming August 28-30 STÖMOL is a feature-length sci-fi video done in Second Life®.
