Quest to Learn school

The Quest to Learn school:

What is it: 

Quest to Learn (Q2L) is a school designed around the “principles of games to create academically challenging, immersive, game-like learning experiences for students.”    Using games to focus and create an environment that exploits the values benefits found within gaming platforms.  The curriculum is based on missions broken into smaller portions so students can work their way through the curriculum in parts that are interconnected.  This allows for students to build on information given and create a formalized understanding of the material and key concepts.  The uniqueness to the approach of teaching and instruction provides for students to become highly motivated in the learning process and become increasing involved.  With this concept in mind students help to create a structured learning program based on their personal interest. 

My reaction:

This form of holistic learning is the mode to which all forms of education can be based.  It allows for students to learn from multiple areas simultaneously allowing for greater instruction.  This also allows for increased learner interaction with material presented.  The only drawback to the lesson format would be the lack of physical and personal face to face interaction.
