During our last Town Meeting it was great to see people sharing the different things that they have found, and how they might use them. As always it is interesting to see what people are discovering. Over the past two days I have heard about another tool that I have thought was pretty interesting.

The River City Project: Part I

This is the first in a series of posts on the River City Project born out of Harvard University's Graduate School of Education.  The River City Project has been around for a number of years now as a research project studying scientific inquiry and 21st century skills in middle school students.  During the project, teams of students are immersed as "scientists-in-training" within a 3D multi-user virtual environment (MUVE) with the task of investigating and design experiments around diseases that are plaguing the city's residents.
