Second Classroom

Students using Virtual Worlds

Our senior debate class took the medical insurance/citizen insurance debate online in a virtual world. The point was to simulate different plans and how they would affect the families finances.. It was really interesting to see how opinions changed as the simulation worked through the scenarios. This is a great tool for determining public policy.

can you share the scenarios and how you were formally or informally assessing it Pat? Is there anything you'd have done differently - or maybe saw some unexpected things? Thanks for posting!
