Virtual environments (VEs) can contain games for diversion or amusement, but most VEs weren’t designed to be games. So what is a virtual environment, really? Is it a game? Well, sometimes. The case for virtual environments in education Now that teachers have learned an amazing number of new tech skills and strategies to engage their students, perhaps it's the perfect time to revisit virtual environments for education. Even though there are many virtual world options available to effectively engage students in this way, many of them were left on the shelf.
