    Hi Rich,

    I am highly interested in the use of 3D/Metaverse interfaces for education, and specifically their combination with learning management systems such as Moodle.

    I ran across the related projects you worked on (Moodle3D, Edusim and the other things mentioned in the Greenbush blog), was impressed, and would love to chat :-)

    Thanks,

    – Shaul Dar

    I would like to use the KinderCoder with my 1st graders. I can download it but I can’t save it to the desktop- have to download it every time I want to use it. What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks! Carol

      …. Actually if you unzip the folder to your desktop you should be able to launch it from that folder ?
