11. It's effective?
- Teachers can rely on high quality material supporting
the most difficult concepts. They no longer have to
make abstract or immaterial examples, they can refer
to an actual model.
- Students can understand and deeply explore the most
complicated topics. They virtually experience things in
a more fun way.

12. How can be negative?
- There is the risk that the teachers lose the quality of
synthesizing verbally explanations.
- Students may loose some imagination and the ability
to focus on intangible concepts.
They may miss the virtual system at the time of home
review, without developing the ability to solve
problems and know-how.

How it should be?

How it should be?
- The interface should be touchable and reactive. It
has to be an high quality device, so as not to be
perceived as a barrier between the student and the
subject of study.
- Models should be so treated as to be scientifically
correct and dynamic, animated or mutable.
- This system should not replace traditional teaching
techniques, but strengthen them significantly.

It may be worldwide?
We all know that the attribute "the whole world"
mainly related to technology is not possible and it is
universally known that phenomenon called digital
divide.
What kind of effects could have this kind of
enhancement in the education of only a few countries
or geographical areas? Would be insignificant?
