Michael Matera
Author of and lover of playful learning…
Highlight of my week was Ss completing optional TEDx videos
-
Greetings crew! I'm Stefanie from Peoria, IL & I teach 2nd grade. Highlight = surprises from https://t.co/ZrHHboA8n3
-
Matt, 7th grade American History, Ss tried a case as justices in a Sup. Court simulation.
-
Hi Phil, 5th grade, from NJ. My highlight was today!
-
Jestin, HS science teacher - Finally introduced a small "life jacket" item to help Ss caught up. It was well received :-)
-
Hey Matt… Great to have back an innovator. sounds like a great lesson and project.
-
Hi ! Kristin from Lansing, I 6th grade ELA and SS. So proud of Ss who participated at a tech showcase in our district!
-
Hey everyone pumped to be able to be here the whole chat tonight
-
-
That does make an awesome line to tell anyone and everyone.
-
Hi all....Melissa from Ohio. Hmm highlight is giving kids their devices this week for &create
-
Can you explain what it does… Sounds like a great addition.
-
Great chance to learn how to incorporate side quests in tonight going on right NOW!!
-
It's always a pleasure to be here! Love the community and all it has done for my students!
-
-
So great to have so many joining in tonight!! Q1 coming in 2 minutes!
-
Adam, glad to have you back here too. Can’t wait to meet in person at , Which I think is sold out or nearly there.
-
Learn how to use sidequests in going on now!
-
Nick Davis Instructional coach from Iowa, Faction Gator Golf was the highlight of this week https://t.co/Ub1VBQw7kZ
-
Neat! Idea… Put string on the ballon… Pop one and that is the one a student must read the first three chapters in…
-
Hi ! Melissa from Nebraska, 11-12 ELA. Excited our church nights are over & I can join in :)
-
-
Saw these and book marked it! Great job and love when teacher takes it to new levels like this.
-
High school history teacher from CT
-
Sean from IL - Director of Instructional Tech & co-organizer of which follows
-
Love it Nick! Did the students eat it up?
-
thought about that, but the love playing with the balloon. Color coded by genre.
-
A1) Optional means that Ss have choice and voice in the process; because of this, there is natural curiosity, and less pressure;
-
I teach Engineering Technology to kinder & 3rd grade Ss in Belvidere IL. Highlight was being crowned Princess Emoji by my kinders.
-
Glad to have you here… You are a leader and your energy and ideas will be well received here on
-
Highlight of week: Seniors created AMAZING found poems giving advice--they graduate Saturday!
-
A1: Making the sidequests optional allows Ss to choose them and as a T, you know you have an engaging one if Ss are choosing it!
-
I do Mastery Learning, but gave them a fast-forward style card lets them take ONE assessment that is below our minimum.
-
A1: Ss can tap into their imagination and are free to be creative without fear of failure.
-
What is the plan for this wonderful treasure?
-
A1: Optionality allows for Ss who really want learn more and push themselves the ability to do so but not penalize those who do not
-
Glad to have you here… on
-
A1: It takes the pressure off which in my experience almost means more participation which creates more buzz!Ss willing to take risks
-
A1. I agree with on voice and choice. Also gives Ss lacking traditional academic skills a chance to prove themselves
-
Working on it right now. Gathering items to build towns and cities and grow their empire.
-
Sean glad to have you come to tonight. Great community of educators.
-
my life jacket goes against intent of Mastery, but behind Ss said they felt like they got a boost back into the class
-
Dan Klumper. Sioux Falls, SD. Glad to be here.
-
Its great to give activities that are out of the norm so kids can excel.
-
It was so awesome, they want to play it again next week!
-
-
Sorry if I bring the average down a little. Not using much gamification so I'll try to keep up.
-
What a great idea. Kids get behind, feel overwhelmed and give up. Awesome idea!
-
On point! Yes! Great to provide new pathways to engagement for Ss who are typically unengaged!
-
A1: Sidequest are great places to offer a risk rich environment for Ss to try new tools, styles, and ideas. its about self-discovery
-
A1: Side quests can reach out to all levels of learners and cater to their interest areas. They're fun b/c they're optional
-
A1 Choice and honoring the S. Some days are harder than others to be awesome.
-
a1: I haven’t rolled out side quest yet but am excited to see students excited to want to learn more through the game
-
Thanks - the LAP always draws me in, as do passionate educators like yourself and
-
Never thought of it quite like that. Used this way it become powerful as Ss begin to love to learn.
-
A1 I shamelessly encourage Ss to finish their must do to get to the amazing bonus may do.
-
I love this chat! Glad I can get here now!!
-
This isn’t against mastery and I think it is what game inspired course design is all about. You kept the Ss in the game.
-
I think sometime when students don’t feel the pressure of having to they are more excited about what they can do
-
Me too! Been looking forward to it all day!!
-
Off to a great start! Q2 coming at ya in 2!
-
I agree. Ss can choose to complete sidequests that are within their interest areas and it could have them xplore new ones.
-
A1: Voice and Choice which leads to an increase in autonomy
-
A1: Ss have autonomy/choice. Gives them freedom and flexibility. Allows them to choose something that interests them/fits their style
-
-
So true! I'm the same way. Pressure takes away enjoyment out of anything!
-
So true! Love it helps them strengthen their interests while also broadening their horizons.
-
And it's so low stakes, that if they fail at something new, no big deal.
-
A1: It makes it feel "different" than traditional school where things are forced down Ss throats.
-
This is so important Nick…
-
A1 choice and voice leads to some creative, excellent projects
-
-
my district is moving to personalized learning and the voice and choice piece side quest will give is huge for this
-
Absolutely! Fail= First attempt at learning!
-
A1: Brand new to gamifying, but my students thrive on choice and options, so I think they will love side quests.
-
Our Ts are using a lot of great tech, but the next step is to build into a smoother flow - side quests would be great.
-
Love Risk Rich Environment!! https://t.co/CXQZctRW4R
-
-
A1: Sidequest are great places to offer a risk rich environment for Ss to try new tools, styles, and ideas. its about self-discovery
-
-
A2: It's either really good or really bad, but Ss are okay with it b/c they are willing to take a risk and "see what happens"
-
I definitely need to work this into so I can model how it works for our Ts.
-
A2: Effort can increase with side quests. At times, Ss feel as if time is an issue in the game itself and will push to finish
-
-
A2: Usually the quality goes up & creativity is higher. What's hard is breaking Ss out of "what the T wants or suggests" thinking
-
They put more thought and process into the side quest. They are interested in the content and have a voice in the choice.
-
A2 Find what triggers the S. Many have a heart of servitude. Oops to give back makes them feel good-better than any grade.
-
Awesome! Although now I am hungry!
-
What you do and what your Ss create is always inspiring!
-
A2) In Genius Hour, Ss thrive on trying new tech, pushing their own understanding further Ex. Ss makes comics & then animates it!
-
A2 I have seen Ss more willing to try just within the game so I hope next year with the addition of side quest it will only grow more
-
Had 2 Ss create an unbelievable Spanish verb video that was not required. Can't wait to share soon. They owned the content
-
A2: It has a buzz to it...
-
I find that to be true as well. The bad ones are usually related to a time issue.
-
A2: Ss go above and beyond expectations & even come up with things I didn't think about or plan for. That has been my fav. part!
-
A2: Ss create off map ideas… It expands minds & opens up a world of possibilities for future. Ss see the limitlessness power of PDL!
-
A2: I love the options for side quests because you can't hold them back, they are out discovering new tools and new ideas.
-
A2: When I let my Ss explore a new tech tool we are using in their own way, their creativity & engagement is greater.
-
A2: Here is one of the missions from my Poetic Quest: Padlet to write poem inspired by daily poem https://t.co/6k0cs8EAyM
-
A2: Ss have been more willing to try something new and share out of the box ideas! I never know what they will come up with!
-
A2. Ss that are behind or have low grades have worked harder w/options. There's a visible expression of relief upon completion.
-
yes, very true. The rush at the end to throw something together. Hate that!
-
Loving the convo! Q3 coming in 2 minutes!
-
So true… Students come up with new ideas all the time. It is crazy to me.
-
Love this, Katie! "Shamelessly"
-
A2. They showed me their learning and it wasn't limited by a paper and pencil test.
-
A2 Thinking of pitching class: Innovators S designs learning goal and pitches proposal w rational why other electives not right fit
-
I have found this true as well! https://t.co/Zs1pYcAqCS
-
-
A2. Ss that are behind or have low grades have worked harder w/options. There's a visible expression of relief upon completion.
-
-
do you ever allow a create your own adventure type side quest were Ss can come up with their own?
-
A2 Quality usually MUCH better. Ss still surprised and (most) appreciate how much choice they get.
-
Really neat idea! We are doing poetry now and I would love to try this.
-
-
how many side quest do you have for most units?
-
Ss can submit a proposal for a SideQuest
-
. always reminding my Ss to not try to get in my head. I'm quite aware of what I think. I want to know what they think.
-
That would be awesome! Great idea!
-
A3: I keep my side quests very open ended. No rubric. Give different options and levels within each one. https://t.co/IwttkXdBRb
-
I have a powerful item in the game that lets this happen. It is called Philosophers Wisdom.
-
I have that option but no one has taken that quest yet, which is confusing to me. I plan to offer that quest up again
-
A3: Choice over apps. I set what the objective is, but students choose an app that would work for that quest.
-
-
A3: "look like an egyptian". Ss used make-up to 'look like an egyptian." Green eye shadow,black eyeliner, red lipstick. Hilarious
-
I offer anywhere between 3-12 and in one unit there are non but they can create what ever they want.
-
This is awesome! https://t.co/Soa9LCgSr8
-
-
A3: "look like an egyptian". Ss used make-up to 'look like an egyptian." Green eye shadow,black eyeliner, red lipstick. Hilarious
-
-
LOL--love the "quite aware of what I think"
-
This is why I'm on Twitter. Connected w/ innovative educators that truly engage Ss in the process. This rocks!
-
Love, love, love this idea!
-
-
I do the same thing as . Try to give open choice w creation https://t.co/h3WL1z5UxM
-
-
A3: Choice over apps. I set what the objective is, but students choose an app that would work for that quest.
-
That sounds like a blast! I'm sure they loved it!
-
AMEN! I can't imagine my profession without Twitter now!
-
A3: Boys putting on make-up and taking a picture?!? That is a risk! Huge turn out.
-
-
yeah, i was surprised at how much they got into it, especially the boys!
-
A3 I explain projects or missions but try not to tell students what to use and leave this open for their creativity
-
Wow thank you! I really appreciate it!
-
YEAH! Can’t wait. is nicely represented there.
-
A3 Use to brainstorm how to execute glimmers of awesomeness Ss share.
-
Liz from Indiana, HS life science and health
-
A3: Ss get a choice to re create the crest for their entire House, then we vote
-
-
LOVE we use it pretty much weekly.
-
A3) Leave the tools to use open--create list of class experts who teach others how to use tech--Ss teaching Ss is great
-
A3: BuilderQuest: build anything out of Lego's to demonstrate understanding of Mesopotamia
-
A3 I give a lot of choice in medium. doesn't matter if demonstate understanding with board game, video, lab demo, card game, etc
-
-
Can't keep up with your awesomeness! Q4 coming in 2 minutes!
-
When you teach something, you learn it twice!
-
my students are so much better and coming up with ways to do something or finding tools than I am
-
I had a S create a presentation in Scratch. It was amazing.
-
Love it, I have had students write the back stories of my houses as well.
-
I did this will building an irrigation system. They loved it! We tested them as well.
-
If we tell them all to do the same thing we gave them a recipe. Give them freedom instead! Love it.
-
surprised how many Ss struggle when given free reign to demonstrate learning
-
A3: I also try to offer choices within assignments. Having even a small choice can be meaningful
-
That is a credit to you, their teacher for inspiring them and stirring their creativity!
-
While we use a lot of tech, some Ss are artists and enjoy using their talent to show what they know
-
A3. Been working on dice with different GAFE on sides. Ss roll to determine apps for app smash and determine what info. to include
-
-
-
We don’t want to make cooks we want Chefs! Learners who create out of passion and purpose something unique.
-
-
yeah, i just want to win some sort of Lego lottery and have millions of lego creator boxes!
-
I know, right? Even choosing an app, some still question which I think is best.
-
Totally agree. In almost anything, we can provide at least a little choice.
-
Welcome Liz to this great community of educators
-
A4: working on a Creation Lab for my Jurassic World game. Using Google Slides as an interactive notebook
-
that would be the dream because they are so expensive too!
-
Choices are key. More and more I am realized that is really all about differentiation
-
Just talked about how we must build Ss up to this. Schools have beaten creativity out of Ss
-
That is so true, I give a list or allow them to chat with peers. I turn over my iPad for them to look at https://t.co/Oy1yGARj1c
-
-
surprised how many Ss struggle when given free reign to demonstrate learning
-
THIS! https://t.co/l4IJaZjwmU
-
-
We don’t want to make cooks we want Chefs! Learners who create out of passion and purpose something unique.
-
This culinary teacher LOVES this quote! :-) https://t.co/SdSjVkyWmW
-
-
We don’t want to make cooks we want Chefs! Learners who create out of passion and purpose something unique.
-
Ive noticed this as well. I began this process with differentiating instruction. Natural progression
-
Hello, hello glad I could join in the last 30 minutes for a dose of inspiration. Thinking of new side quests for Shakespeare now
-
-
Wisdom from the Guru https://t.co/5kfjloOjkz

We don’t want to make cooks we want Chefs! Learners who create out of passion and purpose something unique.
-
A4: Lego My Faction, Faction Game Night, Good Ole Faction Road Trip
-
the app that makes you feel the most warm and fuzzy in that moment 😄
-
A4: I like to use the term "X-Quest" as in "extra" Gives it a bit of an edgy feel.
-
A4) Doing Mission Impossible combined w/Amazing Race elements: Detours, Road Blocks, Undercover Spies
-
So late, but can't miss the incredible inspiration from my crew. Sandy Otto, middle school ELA teacher from MN jumping in.
-
Glad that you could join in
-
Like it. I might take this and tell students it stands for experimental… Dangers awaits them.
-
A4: Magical Mix-up. Had to combine Wizard of Oz and another fantasy together.
-
SideQuests are not just for Ss. I did a PD session with Ts and provided them with SideQuests. They loved the choice/autonomy/variety
-
A4 my students have to create end of unit “Mission reports” this helps them to feel more apart of the game
-
I like that - it offers a super hero X-men aspect
-
That would be great! Very mysterious.
-
I did this with teachers as well and most took advantage of the opportunity.
-
differentiation for all. Every S deserves to be challenged where they are.
-
Right… it is super awesome!
-
Yes! We like fun too! We are all just "bigger" kids!
-
So much greatness in this crew! Q5 coming in 2 minutes!
-
I found a steal at Goodwill check them out, I agree more Legos the better
-
I know my can be so much more next yr when I start in Sept. Excited for the possibilities after Ss engagement soared.
-
-
So glad to have you as part of the crew. You are a passionate educator and pioneer. Your students are lucky! https://t.co/jBBhhlbzNl
-
-
I know my can be so much more next yr when I start in Sept. Excited for the possibilities after Ss engagement soared.
-
ooohhh what is a creation lab?
-
A5 I talk about them with enthusiasm and challenge them to accept. Makes it more fun than something that is assigned.
-
This is my summer project--getting new ideas ready to launch...my summer genius hour project!
-
I am already planning for next year. Im asking my Ss now to design badges for incoming 8th graders next year https://t.co/42tAD7WbAz
-
-
I know my can be so much more next yr when I start in Sept. Excited for the possibilities after Ss engagement soared.
-
does anyone teach more than one class and run two games how do you keep it all organized just found out I have an x-prep next year
-
I'd love to hear what you used for this. I'm thinking of building it into
-
Ss begin the process of creating their own dinosaur from the cell up.
-
WayCool, How do you make fastforwards?
-
-
Lots of cool stuff you could do with that…
-
A5: Mystery Envelope/Mystery Box delivered to the door
Have someone in a mission
-
Teach SCI and SS but I organize like Monica Gellar on crack so that helps.
-
-
My Ss wrote/presented faction member profiles for my Divergent themed game.Back story & buy-in
-
A4 Been putting side quests in w/reg quests as Bonus XP no cool names...yet, next unit breaking them out separate, added excitement?
-
I could use a bit of that
-
-
Oh my gosh...what a fun idea! Adding it to my of gaming ideas now!! :)
-
A4. Ohhh. I should get cool names. Make Mrs. McNamara smile because that was your goal this morning might lose zeal
-
-
If you find out, let me know :) I've got four preps, still working on staying organized wo/losing my mind!
-
You've been a wealth of information lately. Hopefully I can reciprocate soon
-
yeah, look at it as a great opportunity, rather than a burden. Matera is right--lots of great possibilities!
-
A5: Hidden them as QR codes above the board and under a table. They had to find them
-
I will have three preps next year. Curious to see what has to say.
-
A5. Working on a game where sidequest is revealed at the end through scrambled video. Ss choose to continue the game
-
A5.2: Everyone began looking for it so I kept moving it around.
-
Treasure map! I mean come on people this is EXPLORE LIKE A PIRATE right?
-
So awesome!!! https://t.co/zzbnnNX2Hg
-
-
A5. Working on a game where sidequest is revealed at the end through scrambled video. Ss choose to continue the game
-
I will call it that, too. When I prepared for my third tri gamification, I used spring break. Nice to have time.
-
I teach the same type of class to 2 grade levels, 5 classes per grade. I'd like to know the same as I plan for next year.
-
I have 4classes& use w/all. I try 2keep everyone on same page/pace. Some games whole team others by class
-
100% just trying to figure out how to tie my geography with US history! just more opportunity
-
I like edgy, it sparks curiosity
-
Composition books are my friend.
-
same students or different ones?
-
A5: Next yr. I plan to use Google Drawing for unit links to assignments. Then make invisible buttons to hidden maps/quests
-
Q5: Volunteer activities outside of class get "get out of jail free" cards used 2excuse tardiness or late assignment
-
Noooo! Time is going too fast! Q6 coming in 2 minutes!
-
I love that! I've offered a few reflection opportunities to get Ss feedback (what works or needs tweaking). Helpful.
-
A5: In order to "rule the Realm" & restore order across the land, Ss needed the Iron Throne X-Quest badge. The "how" was up to them.
-
-
A5 "This quest was designed for you"
-
-
Very engaging! I want the Throne X-Quest Badge!
-
nope but I buddied up with the tech people and have my own class cart
-
Use same elements for each class but keep a notebook with pics of the board. Interactive site keeps track itself
-
-
That sounds intriguing. My Ss were asking for more opps to leave the room (the explorer gamers need it).
-
Accept the challenge if you dare....
-
it always does feel like I could be on here all night
-
-
LOOOOOOOVE it!! Could also make it a physical one in the rm, and Ss have to use gold to "buy" a brick! Wow, great idea!
-
-
A5: I just thought of this, but maybe it would work highlight a quest a week, by doing an infomercial on certain quests
-
A5 most excited about choice & chance at bonus XP, but I could add more pieces of flair w/ side quests, loving ideas here as usual
-
joining late! Ryan MKE Wi
-
-
do you tell students they exist or see if they find them and let it spread that way
-
You just leveled up my idea! Great thinking :) I like a blend of virtual stuff/physical world stuff.
-
How did you do that - or set that up - incredible!!!
-
Now you're talking. -you available to be our Mystery guest & Skype in? 😊 I'll give you Diet Coke
-
-
-
Did you see this? https://t.co/medsmN9AZp
I see partner presentations - 1 presenter & 1 handling Qs from audience. So many options!
-
Q6: Ss could do a TEDx speech… Then 4 extra they could do an ignite. Here is one from today. https://t.co/qwpCd3UzlH Simply awesome!
-
I never tell the Ss they exist. So much fun when they find them.
-
:) With a lot of copy/pasting of bricks :) Each brick goes to a "wrong" URL, ONE brick goes to the Egg URL
-
We just finished working with G Sheets, Ss created their own form, gathered data & put it in infographic form. I had about 12 do it.
-
I want to be in your class, How do you do the scramble video?
-
Definitely! I've done this wo/hidden buttons, but plan for summer is to spice it up & make more appealing layouts
-
That's an awesome idea too. Find building blocks at the dollar store and have a wall set up in class https://t.co/d10BSUK24X
-
-
LOOOOOOOVE it!! Could also make it a physical one in the rm, and Ss have to use gold to "buy" a brick! Wow, great idea!
-
A6: Our district Ts and Ss are all new to using GAFE, so I'd like to create a side quest where the Ss teach their Ts something new.
-
I have 5 preps. Not sure where to start!
-
A6 I want to set up a scavenger quest that could take a while to do got the idea from and have been thinking about it since
-
Love your ideas! We teach the same content!
-
Ss only allowed to "hunt" for the Egg outside of class. In class, more meaningful things. ha.
-
-
-
Love this discussion! Side quests are new to me. Thanks for all of the ideas!
-
Ss who leveled up to Initiates (Divergent theme) must petition council (admin & TOSAs) to switch factions. Writing/Speaking activity.
-
This sounds awesome!! Have you tested it out? I'd love to see one!!
-
I had a Ss help me set up when started out last school year, helped me organize teams 1st
-
Q7 is coming in two minutes! Don't want this chat too end!
-
Thanks for coming… So much more down the rabbit hole if you start looking into
-
-
I put out a call for cardboard boxes to make the "Great Wall of China." Tons of them. Just ask S.
-
I use w/all 4 preps. Makes it easy to manage. I just try to gradually add more over time
-
A6) I'd like to create side quests where Ss share what they learn w/another class; school improvement quests; pay it forward qsts
-
-
Right! I was blown away… I mean a 5 min speech, history class, and slides auto advancing after 15 seconds. Crazy power!
-
Just got home, can't wait to look through later!! So much I still need to learn!
-
Ss piece together clues from video, which leads them somewhere else. Still in the works but can't wait for the unveiling
-
So fun… Isn’t it a bit addicting when you start to do playful designing of your course.
-
-
How much time did this student spend prepping for this? He is amazing!
-
A6: SideQuests no limits. Throw in things like-watch a movie and make a connection. Mr. Peabody & Sherman for Ancient Egypt.
-
-
It makes you dread summer when you don't have any students to explore with! :)
-
Since any shape can be linked, should be easy to connect to pages w/hidden quests!
-
He told me today he wanted to nail it and take the mega challenge. He practiced it 50 times…
-
A6 natural disaster trading cards were pretty cool, looking to make them part of the world event/game cards next fall
-
A7: I noticed that Ss share their learning more w/ classmates, peers, & other staff members. Learning continues when they leave!
-
A6 having students create common craft videos have been cool projects and might make as a great side quest
-
It really does energize curriculum and delivery planning. Puts you in Ss minds. What would I want as a Ss?
-
A7: the excitement considerable ramps up and that is contagious around the room. It’s like Christmas :)
-
Thanks ! Gotta run! Great group, great discussion, great ideas. One of the best twitter chats.
-
Agreed… I love teaching with game inspired course design. Makes work so much more fun
-
Checking out getting game cards printed this summer for next year.
-
And that is what it is all about.
-
that is so beyond cool to see a student want to go so far and its an extra makes super students/teachers
-
I have only done a few but in Urban Ed it shows me the students who take ownership over their learning
-
A7 Given the opportunity Ss always find a way of looking at something that I hadn't thought of. https://t.co/o6DexL9TTD
-
A7 Ss take ownership, learning personalized and is deeper than those who don't accept the challenge. https://t.co/GVGkMkOsbg
-
A7: Ss are amazing. Side quests allow for Ss to showcase their talents from art, public speaking, writing, athletics, &more
-
I agree, I wish I was teaching summer school
-
-
A7: Excitement xplodes in the room and beyond. I had a S tell a P about one and I got such a Happy Gram Email
-
A7) Ss always more interested in exploring activities that involve relevancy, discovery, curiosity What happens? Excited, happy Ss
-
-
SideQuests and "Special Items" are by far my favorite elements of gamification.
-
A7 deeper learning b/c they end up become Ts to me and other Ss
-
want to start ignite presentations. Time solver
-
-
A7 students want to show off their work more than in the past, they care more
-
agreed. I love playing with game mechanics… This summer running a new session called Itemize It! all about this
-
making own this yr, first semester w/cards. thinking might go "pro" printed next fall. think that'd be REALLY cool
-
-
Thanks for a great chat. Thanks for the unbelievable resources & ideas. Ducking out early to prep for in a few minutes.
-
this was one I was very pumped for on the Sched
-
That will be a must-see session.
-
Also, Ss see how talented their peers are. Also they inspire each other
-
A7: What I love about the sidequests is how easy it is to integrate Sci, SS, LA, Math, Technology, Art, Music and 21st century skills
-
I might need someone to drive me home from . I have a feeling my brain will be very full
-
Great point. You can dive into cross-curricular connections.
-
Thanks so much to & everyone here tonight! I'm excited to start summer planning! (Only 8 days left!)
-
Only a few minutes until ship sails! Join us
-
A7: higher level of pride. Ss see themselves as explores of the world not book worms stuck decomposing the detritus of our curriculum
