I went to a seminar a few months ago, and they had a company that was giving demos of their Virtual Reality in a educational setting, and I found it amazing. It was like I was really in this place being able to turn in all different directions as it described what I was looking at. They offered really good priced kits for teachers so they could do their own teaching environments and curriculum. My questions for you is, how are we able to get our schools to look into this type of teaching? I have a daughter that loves computers and technology, and if she had the means to learn this way I think it would be amazing. If I could have learned this way years ago I think I would have applied myself much more throughout the years. My second question is what is the difference between online learning games and Virtual Reality Education besides of course the realism factor? Amazed Mom, Jennifer Good Afternoon Larry,

My upcoming list on The Best Websites For English Language Learners -- 2008 will be focused on online activities and games that I think are the very best for language learning. This list, though the criteria included that they were accessible to ELL's, is for a broader audience and for covering broader content areas. Larry Hi, David,

I’ll look forward to your post.

My upcoming list on The Best Websites For English Language Learners — 2008 will be focused on online activities and games that I think are the very best for language learning.

This list, though the criteria included that they were accessible to ELL’s, is for a broader audience and for covering broader content areas.

You've outdone yourself and thanks for promoting this great type of student centric learning. I have my qualms about some (many?) of these and will write a blog post about why I think they "suck" as language learning sites. That said, I appreciate anyone who has the guts to go and make something/do something that helps students and language learners... As usual, well done. David http://eflclassroom.ning.com Larry ,
