Edupunks Episode #2

As I was working from my Cincinnati home today, I thought of another school that I can use for my Edupunks show.  Last winter, I took a course on gaming in education and I found out about this new school in New York City that is all game-based.  It sounds interesting.  It’s called Quest to Learn and here’s its mission statement:

“Design and innovation are at the heart of Quest to Learn (Q2L), a school committed to helping every student to achieve excellence in the skills and literacies necessary for college and career readiness. We believe that students today can and do learn in different ways, often through interaction with digital media and games. Q2L builds on this belief to create a nurturing and vibrant 6th-12th grade school environment that supports all students in the pursuit of academic excellence, social responsibility, respect for others, and a passion for lifelong learning.”

Don’t you want to go there?  Why wasn’t SJS this cool?
