Education 2.0 & 3.0

Our world is quickly becoming less physical and more virtual. In the classroom, this is just as true as anywhere else. What seemed impossible just a few years ago is now probable with virtual education.

Some time ago, I learned about a virtual math playground called Mathbreakers that starts with topics as basic as counting and advances through subject matter as complicated as Calculus. Unlike the dull worksheets I grew up with, Mathbreakers uses action adventure role-playing to give students a fun, yet calculated, gaming environment that puts math at the center. Players are in control of their futures in a third-person shooter style that takes them through various conquests.
