Co-Spaces

Co-spaces is the easiest to use when it comes to creating and editing 3D spaces. It runs on any device, mobile, tablet, PC, browser and - have I mentioned this before? - it is very easy to use. The free basic version entitles you to invite up to 29 students, create 2 CoSpaces, create 1 class, 1 assignment and upload up to 10 external files. AND Coding with basic CoBlocks is also possible. This is such a cool app! There is a free version for 1 teacher and up to 29 students. In the paid version there is even a plug-in for MERGE Cubes making this the only virtual world which also be used as an AR Augmented Reality enabled 3D space.
