Welcome to the home of the 3D World Online Learning Project (3D World), produced by NYCDOE District 75 and Learning Times LLC. 3D World is a three-dimensional, social world designed for the learning and practice of life skills, from independent city travel, to banking and financial skills, to setting up a first apartment and hosting a party.
To all the real (and virtual) participants of 3D World, welcome back! We are looking forward to another exciting year.
If you have not done so, please register for the required 3D World workshop, to be held October 6 at the District Office.

3D World held a contest for The Best Apartment Design. Students had to purchase and place furniture, groceries, and decorations in their apartments. During the May 5, 2016 “Open House – Meet the Neighbors’ lesson, we picked a winner for both individual apartment design as well as whole building design.
The results are in:
The Best Apartment Design (individual) winner is Central Plaza Apt #3. Congratulations 176X.
The Best Apartment Design (group) winner is Overlook Apartments. Congratulations to 811K.
For their prizes, contest winners will get to choose special names for parks or rename existing places in 3D World.
Thank you to all the avatars who decorated and designed their apartments with care and feng shui!
This Friday will be the last day to send in a photo for the 2nd Annual “Best Dressed Team” contest. Every student in your class must have a customized avatar (no grey striped shirts and jeans/ no pink polka dot dresses). The teacher will take a class photo, which will be a screen shot of the avatars in some scenic location in 3D World. (Use the camera app in the bottom toolbar to take and email a snapshot)
A special guest judge will be selected to pick the best photograph. The winning team will get special naming rights to a location in 3D World!
Last year’s winner was 811K, who named a field “Haring Street Park.”
On May 5, 2016, the 2nd Annual Apartment Design Contest will be held. During this lesson invite your neigbors into your apartment for a tour. A special judge with experience in interior design will pick the winner for Best Apartment Design – Individual and Best Apartment Design – Group (for an entire building). Winners get naming rights to a piece of 3D World.
Things are expensive, espcially in New York City. The budgeting lessons in 3D World will help you in real life as well.
Roblox combines SecondLife, Playmobile and Minecraft. Avatars explore different worlds and have to complete different tasks.
There is potential here…have you tried it in your school?
