Assignment 2-1 "What is Immersive Education?"



My first screen shot is of Professor Walsh talking about the summer intensive course he was teaching at Boston college, and the virtual world that this course used.



I thought that this was really cool. One school used this program to take kids on a virtual field trip to an aquarium. In this case the school could not afford to send the kids to the aquarium, but instead were able to use the virtual world so the kids could still have the experience. 


Professor Walsh talking about how this program has come such a long way since 1997. He talks about how in 1997 he was saying "imagine if we could do this" and now we actually can do those things!
