THAT is an interesting question.

Why, indeed?

Cool, creative, and fun. But really, if it’s about authentic learning, why build a classroom/space at all? Why not explore the world (real and virtual) without boundaries?

I am definitely going to be working on this during my summer break. What wonderful FREE tools. What a great asset.

The virtual learning project looks really neat. I think it would be a great project for those who have the virtual knowledge, which I don’t think I have–as of yet.

Wouldn’t it be interesting if students in education had a class that had them plan a virtual classroom? I wish I had time right now to do this it looks like it would be really informative.

The *best* approach is to work through to the .ISO files and then burn those to a CD.

I’m not sure if they run from the CD or if they have an installer. It *looks* like the software just runs off the CD, but without testing it, it’s just speculation.

This looks like a similar activity to Portable Apps and U3 Smart USB drives.

I have a question about the starving student disks you should burn. You may or may not the answer. When I clicked on it, it has links to each of the software that you can download right from their sights or it says you can burn the disk. So, my question is if I have the disk I can use the software from the disk without having the internet on or using up my hard drive to save the downloads on? So I can use them as long as the disk is in, or does the disk just contain the downloads for your computer?

After reading the blog about creating learning environments, I am reminded of my recent trip to COSI in Columbus, Ohio. This is a science center whose motto is “Play hard. Get smart.” It is also known as “the ultimate playground for your brain”. I took my five year old and two year old sons there for the day and we all had a blast. The environment there doesn’t look like any classroom I’ve seen.
