Let's Build a City

One of the reasons that I think I do pretty well conducting professional development is because I'm not afraid to say what I don't know. I'm not a techie. I don't know how to use java script. For this reason, I've been anxiously awaiting the day when a program is developed that allows me to create my own 3D universes. Can you imagine how helpful 3D universes would be for students studying different periods of history. Rather than simply talking about historical places students could construct them and interact with them. (I know some programs already exist that reconstruct historical sites but I want to be able to build my own and more importantly ask my students to do the same.) Well thanks to this SegaTech post I just found a couple of incredible sites. Take a look at them. (No these sites don't allow people to interact with cities but they do allow people to create their own cities.)
