Chris and I just can’t get enough! 3D GameLab has been in closed beta just over four months, and we’re now starting to prepare our next spring teacher camp, fully online, of course! March 26th-April 15th.
Last August, we opened 3D GameLab to the public with our first summer teacher camp. Camp lasts over a three week period. Teachers, instructional designers, and other educators interested in the experience and design of quest-based learning joined us in quests, synchronous events, games, virtual worlds, Skype, desktop video conferencing, and more. Our summer campers have now started bringing in their own students, and our players are using the platform in very creative ways.
Check out how these teachers are using 3D GameLab:
- Lucas Gillispie: WoW in Schools
- Slade: “GameLab ‘Better than Facebook” for 7th Graders”
- Samwise: Using 3D GameLab in My High School
- Leigh Zeitz: Learning to Game by Gaming to Learn
