Avatars at Home, Community Day Continues

April 30, 2020April 3, 2020 by Cara

Calling all avatars! We hope that everyone is staying safe and healthy at home while schools are closed. During this time, 3D World is open and community day continues with a shortened 2 hour session on Thursdays from 10-12 (*new start time). Big shout out to the Thunderfrogs, Dragondogs and Puppycats, some of whom have logged in to work and complete their 3D lessons from home!

We’ve created two videos to help families get connected from home. Remember that 3D World does not work on mobile devices such iPad, phone, chromebook or tablet. You need a computer (laptop or desktop) and these instructions for downloading and installing the Firestorm Viewer. You will also need your avatar login information from your teacher. Please see the videos below and email Cara or Charles if you need help.
