What technology skills will students and teachers need to participate in the VWR?
Participants in the VWR will need basic Web browsing skills. In addition, some basic MOO communication and movement skills will be required. These skills include the ability to speak and to “emote.” For those interested, the development of MOO skills can proceed to “building” and even programming (all of which bring rich opportunities for writing instruction and development). But for the most part, knowing how to speak in the VWR is the only crucial new skill participants (who already know how to use Web browsers) will need to learn.
