“Tips on Starting the School Year Right”

Vicki’s post on “The Frontier of Education: Web 3D” (March 2, 2007)

. . . encourage educators to understand change and become a part. Help them to see that the very future of the children they teach is dependent upon their ability to change, adapt, and understand such new environments and to operate in them safely. Our children have an unknown future that will be full of change. Are you preparing them for that?

I am not an expert on the 3D web, but I know enough to believe that this is indeed the next evolution of the Web.

How it will look and what it will be will largely be determined by the pioneers and visionaries who are moving into the new frontier: the 3D web.
