Virtual Life Series

 

Virtual Life Series

Our Virtual Life programs are unique in the world of distince learning!

From the students perspective they get to live a "Virtual Life" for two weeks through a points-based game environment, much like the classic Poke'mon card game or Dungeons and Dragons role playing game (minus the magic and fantasy!).

From the teachers perspective they get a complete, standards-based curriculum guarnteed to capture their student's attention and motivate learning in a way seldom seen in the classroom!

The Virtual life programs are web-based, teacher led curriculum packages that feature 3 live webcasts that allow student interaction with Virtual Life they are simulating, daily lesson plans and activities, media-rich enrichment resources, and loads of extensional ideas and activities to take the student's intrinsic desire to learn and run with it!

Each Virtual Life last 2 weeks.  There are 5 required activities and a culminating game/race to celebrate the student's learning and reward all their hard work.  They run at specific times of the year (see individual program details below) so that your class can interact with other classes around the country.  So come join us and explore a new lifestyle!
