Interactive 3D Lessons
Lessons and Tutors combine the power of 2D and 3D technology. Lessons are designed by teachers or general knowledge experts from across North America; those who have had the experience of helping young minds or adults learn and understand the types of teaching aids that work with different age groups. They help to promote new ways of learning for students of all age levels and all grade levels, Primary, Elementary, Middle, High School, and Adult. The goal is to enhance, not compete with, the prescribed curriculum being taught in public, private, or home school environments. Lessons focused on formal education will support outcomes required by the Education Departments of our states and
provinces in the USA and Canada by providing unique pedagogical opportunities that will promote understanding. Our general knowledge lessons supplement the education that people of all age groups receive outside the formal classroom environment.
Self-paced lessons enrich and reinforce outcomes taught in schools across the continent. No two students are alike or learn in an identical way. Students need to learn to think for themselves and make choices to enhance their learning. Interactive lessons allow the student to take greater responsibility and ownership by offering a type of differentiated instruction that caters to all types of learning styles; auditory, visual, kinesthetic, and tactile.
Concepts are presented so that all students are able to gain varying degrees of knowledge depending on their level of understanding. Each lesson has a defined outcome. Lessons involve the students through manipulation and questioning that reaches different levels of thinking. Lessons are inclusionary for students that require adjusted expectations. General organization of each lesson is sequential and allows different stages of cognition to grasp the intended outcome. Use of 3D technology allows the student to be part of the lesson in a virtual environment, making their learning experience enjoyable, while enhancing state of the art technology skills as a side benefit.
The uniqueness of these product offerings includes:
- Interesting lessons: -enabling the student to hone technology skills they need and use every day, i.e. manipulating an Avatar, while gaining knowledge of concepts that will help them in the classroom. They simulate many virtual environments, inside/outside, hot /cold, wet/dry, in space/under sea, night/day, motion, etc. with limitless ability to simulate real life people, animals, and fish.
- Price: -one fixed price for access to all lessons.
- Quality: -lessons are developed by experienced professionals who are passing on their successful methods, incorporating much needed technology ability.
- Learning environment: -every child can work in a setting that provides an atmosphere for optimal learning.
- Collaboration: -the virtual classroom invites collaboration with other students, a teacher or tutor if desired.
We are in our initial start-up phase and will continue to enhance the lessons we provide. Try the two free lessons provided with your new account sign on. These lessons, built for students aged 8 to 10, facilitate comprehension of two important science outcomes, Kinds of Motion, and an Introduction to the Solar System. We hope that through these lessons, you will be able to see the power of our technology as it makes learning fun and engaging for students of all ages. We encourage experienced teachers, especially those currently practicing or recently retired, to pass their tremendous knowledge back to the community by becoming part of the Lesson & Tutors extended professional team.

General Education Sessions
As a parent or student, the internet provides a vast world of knowledge by utilizing a quick search phrase on almost any topic. In some cases this is not enough. You not only want to read about the subject or view a 2D instructional video, you want to discuss the information with subject matter experts. Our General Lesson Sessions will provide a place to discuss and share information on any topic of interest to the user. Whether you want to learn how to pack a proper lunch for your diabetic child, discuss how to set up a homework contract for your child based on his/her special needs, learn how to sew your child's clothes, or find folks to help you practice your new second language, our marketplace will grow to cover an endless array of topics. Unlike standard web or video searches, our General Lesson Sessions allow you to attend virtually and speak in real time to knowledgeable and like-minded professionals.
An example of a general session could be a language graduate student, or native speaker leading a small group of 5 - 10 individuals in a language practice session.
Study Halls
In today`s fast-paced world attending meetings and actually getting yourself to a specific venue at a specific time can be a challenge. Students, whether at university, home school, or grade school, are often required to complete team projects. Lessons and Tutors provides a safe and friendly environment where students can meet virtually in real time, while communicating as if physically next to each other. They can virtually share their computer desk top with the team to contribute their work, while discussing what they have found during their individual research time. The ability to screen share enables everyone to contribute and finalize the project on time with all participants viewing the final draft. If distance or weather keeps you from physically meeting, our Virtual Study Hall allows you the option to ensure everyone is included in every team session. While meeting physically is always better, interacting in a 3D classroom with your fellow Avatar students is the next best thing to being there!
Study halls can be leveraged to cram and share for that last minute quiz, or final when your schedules don't allow you to meet in person. Click here to see a short video of a study hall in action.
The Study Halls will not be monitored but are limited to those signed up for a specific time or session. Lessons and Tutors is focused on the security and safety of our students. To read more on how we make our environment as safe as possible, please click here.
