In the real world you cannot transport yourself like you can in virtual world. It is easier to meet in the virtual world since you do not have to travel and can just meet with a click of a mouse. In the chat room through Bb Vista, it took longer for us to see each other's questions and responses. It is better in virtual world, because it is visually more interesting with physical representation of our ourselves. Also, you can do things together and visit different places.
Students will be able to immerse themselves in their classes. They are learning almost first-hand rather than looking at a book. If it is science or history class, you can transport yourself to a solar system or battlefield. You feel like you are a part of the event. First-hand experience makes more of an impression and enhances the lesson.
Virtual world increases our awareness of being able to see different sites than you may never get to see in real life. You can visit places, museums, cathedrals, in hope of seeing them in real life. You can discover unfamiliar cultures, gain a better appreciation and respect.
