3D Virtual Worlds

Virtual Worlds

Active World and Second Life are 3D virtual worlds. Second Life (SL) has brought the term "3-D world" closer to mainstream with millions more or participants this year. The Active Worlds program Active Worlds Educational Universe (AWEDU) incorporates many educational worlds for educators to explore. Second Life (SL) is the most sought after "virtual world" currently and continues to provide an exceptional effort in reaching out to the educational community and providing resources.  

At www.oddessey.org they are back online with a new platform. They have many online worlds, currently there is only community worlds and district plaza worlds. The community world supports chat and message boards, all other areas are being reintroduced. It appears to me that this site is a work in progress, revamping and modifying it's content.
