That is the price of a good spec up-to-date computer and a good fast connection.<BR/><BR/>The problem and reluctance of students to download programs is also pretty understandable, especially if it involves registration etc. I'll look out for something that might fit your needs, but can't make any promises.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with those student blogs though.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/>NikNik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-21742321467283370272008-03-05T12:37:00.000+00:002008-03-05T12:37:00.000+00:00Dear Nik,I tried to download 3B to my computer but...Dear Nik,<BR/><BR/>I tried to download 3B to my computer but it said my graphics were not good enough and the program wouldn´t run smoothly. In fact, it didn´t even run. I was so anxious to try it out. Is there anything online which we wouldn´t need to download? Many students don´t like having to download things and that could be an obstacle. I imagined I could create a room with blogs created by different students where they could meet and visit each other´s page...<BR/>That would be really something.<BR/><BR/>I´ll keep trying<BR/>anamaria<BR/>http://lifefeast.blogspot.comAna Maria Menezeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740832279827124425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-52634670682095983092008-01-23T09:32:00.000+00:002008-01-23T09:32:00.000+00:00Thanks for the comment.

It's really useful to have a tool which is specifically designed to access it too, which must save a lot of time and hassle (I constantly seem to be downloading upgrades for the Second Life software). Unfortunately, my budget doesn't run to PS3 quite yet. My daughter got a Wii for Xmas, but doesn't really show a lot of interest in it yet, so it's hard to justify buying a PS3.<BR/><BR/>Best<BR/><BR/>NikNik Peacheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397596906147004693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283339544946232720.post-91343453622596098922008-01-14T10:15:00.000+00:002008-01-14T10:15:00.000+00:00Thanks for this - i have just been talking to my c...Thanks for this - i have just been talking to my classes about second life and PS3 Home and using virtual spaces to create geographically remote communities who can complete collaborative activites in immersive environments - i like the look of 3B and will try it out<BR/><BR/>Many ThanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
