This appears to be a very useful instructional tool for teachers. I was disappointed, however, that as a teacher I didn't have the ability to provide additional support to students with special needs, such as text-to-speech so they can listen to the dialogue between the characters or the instructions related to the quests. Our district provides instruction to most students with IEPs in general education settings, so being able to accommodate for their needs is instrumental to their success. Students with IEPs who struggle with reading, for example, can engage in higher level thinking and problem solving opportunities when properly accommodated for. I do like, however, that students who struggle with face-to-face peer interactions would have the opportunity to participate in group learning via this virtual world.
