2. Images from student projects in virtual worlds
Lyr taught 53 university classes that
met in virtual worlds between 2005-
2020
And mentored 8th grade students
from 2007-2009 at Peggy Sheehy’s
Ramapo Project in Suffern, NY
In class, students created projects to
simulate experiences, emotions, and
an environment for learning.

3. As a salute to the Martian
Worlds’ Faire, we
designed a 3D poster of
the class project at the
Virtual Worlds Best
Practices in Education.
In class, three students
made 12 areas on Mars
with interactive games,
learning exhibits, and
Martian technology.
It took us 2-3 hours to
design this conference
poster and to find
language translators.
