Could Metaplace Have Potential?

Posted at 5:03 pm under web 2.0

Metaplace lets you create your own “virtual world” that you can now embed on your blog or website, and where you can keep it private.

Webware has written a good post all about it, and I’d encourage you to read it.

I’m not that sold on virtual worlds being that extraordinary of a tool for learning, but this one does seem to be a lot easier to create and navigate than some others I’ve seen. I wonder if it might have some potential for students to create their own for just another venue for interacting in English, or if teachers might create ones where students — at least as a change of pace — could try-out.

What do you think?
