They are learning to interact, communicate, and collaborate with others in an on-line, teacher-monitored, safe environment." (I hope you don't mind if I quote you!) The example you use regarding your son participating from home is beautiful! I know there are times when my daughter thinks I'm a bumbling fool too, but I know she thinks its pretty cool that her Mum loves virtual worlds like Quest Atlantis just as much as she does. :) Lucy Jeff, you “hit the nail on the head” when you say “…My students are engaged, learn self-direction, and have fun when they are in Quest Atlantis.

Many teachers only use QA one 45 minute session a week, and that is plenty to motivate them and provide you with some excellent tools to leverage meaningful learning. We have students in grades 4-8 here in the US (so about ages 9-16), and the program gives them a wonderful opportunity to "meet" other children from around the world. I'll send you more information for your to review, and if you are interested in joining, just let me know and we can get you set up. Donna (ds9@indiana.edu)...feel free to email me if you have any questions... Hi Audrey,

Can you give me an idea of how much time students need per week to make it worthwhile as I only have classes for 1 hour each week (including borrowing)? For me to consider joining any classes up I imagine that class time would also be needed or computer lab time-also 1 hour per week. What age group would you introduce first with a primary school? Looking forward to future explorations. Every time I investigate QA I am more convinced that aI would like to know more and get involved.
