Session Description
As part of the Investing in Innovation grant from the U.S. Department of Education, EDUCATIONCONNECTION's Center for 21st Century Skills is formalizing the relationship between the International Virtual Collaboration Space and the Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences to create a blended-learning environment. This Interactive will demonstrate how virtual worlds engage students in science and digital art courses, and will also focus on how virtual meetings challenged urban and suburban students to collaborate.
