Simteacher

Simteacher is also a virtual reality game centered around teacher simulation, much like the Virtual School mentioned in a previous post. However, both are very different.

Virtual School is more cartoonish and fun looking, whereas Simteacher uses real photographs. To set up a classroom, you go through various profiles of both teachers and students; then "hiring" the teachers and "adopting" the students. This is really as far as I got in the simulation. When I first set up the classroom, it was a little confusing. It appeared as if I was setting up a college course, requesting course and schedule numbers, etc. However, when I perused the available students, they seemed to be the right age level.

The way it is set up makes it appear as if you are using real people. The simulation isn't quite in the movement, but the scenarious.
