| Abstract | Creativity has been put on the agenda of national school curriculums globally. Preservice teacher education courses need to develop approaches to incorporate opportunities for creative thinking into all subject areas. The use of virtual worlds as a unique environment in which to facilitate teaching and learning activities presents one way to address this problem. The virtual world of Second Life was used in two preservice teacher courses at a regional university in Australia. The courses involved were curriculum specialisation: visual arts 1 and science and technology education foundations. The reflections of staff and students in these two courses provide some insight into the potential that virtual world technologies can have in the development of creativity and creative thinking. |
