Immersive Education

This is the interview between Aaron Walsh and Russ Castronova. Mr. Walsh talks about everything from the virtual reality "worlds" and video games to the new Web 2.0 and other "media infrastructures." On of the major things he talks about is the new way teachers can get through to their students from anywhere at anytime through the Web 2.0 and other virtual worlds, which in return helps the teacher by freeing up time as well as the students as they are more comfortable in virtual worlds. The 4s principal come into play with this new technology. The future of teaching seems to be in 3d technology based forums, like Second life and other commonly used virtual worlds as they are easier for both parties, the students and the teachers.
