Blog feedVirtual worlds: Teaching Chinese language and culture
1st July
Yong Zhao, Professor of Educational Psychology and Educational Technology at Michigan State, wants to teach the world about Chinese culture (and maybe a little Mandarin) before the 2008 Olympics.
Zon is a virtual world where users can live and learn about China through markets, newspapers, television, jobs and other citizens. The Chinese Language Council International contributed over $1 million for the project, which university staff developed with help from artists and writers at Chinese universities.
