Students wearing their different coloured hats to role-play deBono's Six Thinking HatsStudents placed in two groups. Even though they are all sitting together, they cannot hear (see) what others are saying in the other group. This is where virtual worlds demonstrate a concept that is impossible in real life. Students cannot hear what the other groups are saying and are therefore not influenced by their views.
 
 
Students discussed different topics, then came back into local chat together to relay their feelings of role-playRole-play continues but with different topics, then discussions about the role-play
