town using SpexWorld! Town, with houses, shops, vehicles, roads, trees,
a Town Hall, Church and even a London Bus. Excellent for urban

| What teachers have said about SpexWorld! programs.
|
|
"There is massive learning
potential with SpexWorlds!"
"As they discovered the 3D placing, rotation and
walkthroughs they just got more excited. At the end of the session they
were beginning to work quite confidently and did not want to move on to
their next lesson – nice, short learning curve."
"Sounds
a cliché but I wish that you could have
seen
the class’s reaction. An absolute buzz!"
