As part of the Learning in 3D book blog book tour, I've met some amazing folks and seen some amazing software. I am not a programmer myself so if something is easy to use and can make me look good, I like it. One such software is called ThinkingWorlds --a program that lets you create 3D simulations with characters, scenes and branching interactions with great ease.
