Day 1 Shutdown and Power Off

"End of The Day Reflections"

It's been an interesting experience participating at a distance via Skype. I think the potential for a graphically-rich environment as afforded by the Steam engine and the Virtuoso mod. is amazing. Students will, almost by default, be more interested in these virtual world experiences simply because that's the form much of their digital entertainment takes. I think, also, that we must not abandon good instructional design concepts as we drool over the technology. Ultimately, it's still just a tool... just like a chalkboard, overhead, or calculator. Used properly, however, it can be a great tool.
