Beyond the 3 R's, Introducing the 3 C's - CONNECT, CREATE, COLLABORATE!MissionV Education Limited is the new not for profit organisation specialising in the use of game based learning and virtual worlds technology for the support of primary and post primary students; particularly those who are at risk of significantly underachieving and those with high potential. Supported by the National Centre for Technology in Education and DSE MissionV is extending their pilot programme to 20 primary schools nationwide for the Autumn term 2011. If you would like your school to participate in this project beginning in September 2011 you can complete the online application form. Participating students use geometric building tools to collaboratively construct 3D replicas of real world or fantasy structures and program those objects to generate a fully interactive world. They communicate and plan their projects via their digital character or avatar making this a truly immersive and engaging learning experience. MissionV has a key role to play in the teaching of STEM (Science, Technology, Education & Maths). |
