North Carolina Teachers Join Quest Atlantis (QA)

January 25, 2007

With support from Food Lion stores, Frances Bradburn, the Director of Instructional Technology for The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (DPI), and George Newman, founder of One Planet Education Network (OPEN), are pleased to bring the Quest Atlantis (QA) 3D Learning Environment to selected NC schools. QA will initially be offered to 60 North Carolina classrooms.

Through this generous donation from Food Lion, these teachers will receive accounts for all of their students, unlimited access to Quest Atlantis curricula, implementations resources such as novels and trading cards, online and face-to-face professional development, ongoing implementation support, and a customized Teacher Toolkit that aligns Quest Atlantis curriculum to the North Carolina State standards.

Classrooms will initially be selected from the eleven IMPACT schools. The geographically and demographically-diverse IMPACT schools are part of North Carolina’s statewide school library media and instructional technology program.

For today’s digitally-savvy generation of school children, this technology will help make education more interesting and engaging.

Interested North Carolina school teachers should visit the Quest Atlantis North Carolina Info page and consider submitting a Teacher/Facilitator Inquiry Form to get started. Note that other teachers in North Carolina who are interested in applying should do so even if they are not in the IMPACT schools.
