		VR TOOLBOX Develops QuickTime VR Curriculum For Educators VR Toolbox, Inc. has recently released the long-awaited adjunct to multimedia education..."The VR Toolbox Curriculum"...workbook for teaching interactive imaging. "The VR Toolbox Curriculum", subtitled "building better learning with immersive media," is a powerful asset for every teacher involved with desktop multimedia. Written as a companion piece for VR Toolbox's outstanding line of QuickTime VR products, "The VR Toolbox Curriculum" is the first publication produced specifically as QTVR curriculum for today's educator and includes a teachers manual and student handbooks.

		VR Toolbox believes that there is nothing so important as the education of our youth. We know that a major influence both today and in the future of education lies in Multimedia Technologies. As we are a major player in the immersive imaging industry. "VR Toolbox's software is ideal for educators," says Walter Neals, Vice President for Marketing for VR Toolbox, Inc. "Our entire line incorporates the same interface basics, a tabbed panel style, that acts to 'hold the hand' of the beginner, by not letting the user proceed from one section to the next until all the required tasks have been met. It's easy-to-use in nature, and we get lots of comments from teachers that support that." The company has a special interest in supporting the education market. Again, according to Walter Neals, "VR Toolbox is dedicated to today's educator. We plan to give the Technology Teacher every asset we can, from first-class tools and in-depth curriculum to strong technical support." For more information, Please E-mail: Sales Information
