Heh. I know I called out Spore, but Civ isn't a bad choice.
Also, I'm curious to see what kinds of American Constitutions are written by sixth graders.As is the case with many of the games played by young people today, Quest is designed to enable students to “take on” the identities and behaviors of explorers, mathematicians, historians, writers, and evolutionary biologists as they work through a dynamic, challenge-based curriculum with content-rich questing to learn at its core.
Oh my god.
They're doing it right. O.o http://www.instituteofplay.com/node/103
I mean, I know Salen has her hands in it, but I haven't actually read Rules of Play yet, so I haven't had any confidence, except that founding the school was the right direction.
And, you know, about ten, fifty years ahead of my ability to do something like that. =X
I admit some jealousy and very much hope that they've videotaped some class sessions so I can watch.
