| This article explains what a SchoolSpace World is, what it looks like, who uses it, and the key features that make it safe, customizable, and designed for learning and connection. If you're new to SchoolSpace or just curious about how it works, you're in the right place. |
A SchoolSpace World is a virtual space that looks and feels like a digital campus for your school. It’s where students, staff, and families can gather to learn, connect, and explore, no matter where they are geographically. Each world is browser-based (no downloads!), secure, and fully customizable to look like anything your school can imagine, from a realistic campus to outer space to a storybook adventure.
Key Features of a SchoolSpace World
- A Place to Belong: Each world acts like a digital campus with classrooms, stages, clubhouses, hangout areas, and more.
- Chaperone Mode On by Default: Student communication is turned off until an adult is present, ensuring every interaction is supervised.
- Browser-Based: No installs or special hardware are needed.
- Custom Look and Feel: Worlds can look like a realistic classroom or building, or take on creative themes (like outer space, underwater, or an amusement park).
- Safe and Secure: Worlds are private to your school community with comprehensive moderation tools and strict access control.
- Interactive and Social: Students move their avatars to talk to others nearby, just they could mingle in a brick and mortar hallway or classroom.
