Whyville is an educational site that is a little like controlled 2D Second Life with a focus on education. Young users make their own avatars and then explore the island of Whyville, playing educational games and interacting (through chat) with learners from all over the world. The website states that “inside Whyville, citizens learn about art history, science, journalism, civics, economics, and really so, so much more. Whyville works directly with the Getty, NASA, the School Nutrition Association, and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (to name just a few) to bring incredible educational content to kids in an incredibly engaging manner. Today, there are countless learning games and activities on Whyville…which is probably one of the reasons Education Daily states that Whyville is one of ‘edu-gaming’s biggest successes’.” Registering as a teacher in Whyville allows you to bring your students on and manage their accounts. Interesting content and a controlled, secure environment for young learners with a little proficiency.
