Quest to Learn

Neal Leininger Senior Consultant Veris Associates, Inc. I found an interesting article on new teaching techniques at the "Institute of Play" in New York LINK New York's Institute of Play has officially announced the foundation of Quest to Learn , a new school for "digital kids" that will be accepting its first 6th grade class this fall, which "uses the underlying design principles of games to create highly immersive, game-like learning experiences for students." It's fascinating to watch the principles of "Play Learning" maturing with technology. They're also hiring teachers : LINK Many moons ago, I recall a space invaders game at my school for learning multiplication, addition, and subtraction. I remember how profound the idea was at the time. Tell us, how do you learn best? Is it in a classroom, or a virtual classroom with avatars? Do you prefer flashcards, or a game that incorporates those facts/figures into a learning exercise?
