Thanksgiving Quest 1 by Center4EduPunx, on Flickr


This week is an short week, we'll take a look at quest based learning.

Here the video overview.

We'll be adding you into 3D GameLab as students. If you'd like to look at
the platform marketing site go here http://3dgamelab.com/

This is the shivtr site or guild site associated with 3D GameLab

Most teachers using 3DGameLab associate it with a guild site or blog as it does not have discussion forums.

Here's a quick video from Dr. Chris Haskell on Quest Based Learning
and a white paper he wrote.



Let's look at another site that is quest or task based that does include badges.

DIY.ORG

They use challenges but do you still a narrative and other elements of quest based learning?

3D GameLab can include badges but does not have to include badges.
