The title of my article is “Creating a VW Killer App for the Department of Defense.”  The main focus of this article is to show how virtual environments can be utilized in the Military.  I selected this article for this purpose to show the wide variety of areas that virtual environments can be utilized.

This article speaks about the Department of Defense and their slow usage of virtual environments.  In this article there were great ideas as to how to utilize virtual environments to help the military in their learning processes.  It showed the ways that the Department of Defense is already utilizing virtual worlds as well as how they are creating new ideas for the virtual environments and how they will be useful in the learning of the military.

This can be utilized in the business and marketing classrooms to show how people are creating new ideas for virtual environments and how to utilize them.  This  can also be utilized in the business world for the same reasons as to creating new ideas as well as how to bring these new ideas into the work environment.  My opinion on this research is that the ideas that are stated in this article are useful and it is interesting to see what our military is doing to train its members.

A virtual environment is a great tool for teachers to utilize because it can be integrated into any classroom.  Under this teachers can utilize this for professional development.  In this development educators can share sites that are important to their classroom environment with others and still be social with one another.  A virtual environment can be utilized in the business classroom by allowing students to create a virtual environment to network with one another and make strides in their learning.  A virtual environment can be in the business world in the same way of networking internally at a company or externally.  Having a virtual environment will allow for others to meet in various environments.
