Welcome to the Data Detectives School!  

As you work your way through the tutorials and game area of this simulation, you will learn about as well as apply critical thinking skills that will enable you to reason about your experiences and the world around you.  

At this location in the Data Detectives School, you are in the Lobby Meeting Area (a spot to wait for other classmates and/or your instructor).  During your wait you can click on the "web site" buttons associated with the different popular fictional detective personas or learn about different lessons from Sherlock Holmes, including "Why Most of Us Wouldn't Be Able to Tell That Watson Fought in Afghanistan" by Maria Konnikova (with more in the series of "Lessons from Sherlock Holmes" by Maria Konnikova displayed throughout the Data Detectives School).  

In addition, you can vote for your favorite fictional detective by using the voting "machine" to your right.  

Finally, if you are new virtual world user, you will find new user tutorials and an orientation video clip located to your left.}
