Quest Atlantis is an online virtual world where students can take on missions and quests to learn skills like science, math, English and history through exploration, research and experimentation using their customizable avatar. It allows kids from around the world to make friends and work together on projects while developing skills needed for the 21st century like initiative, problem solving and collaboration. To get started, students choose an avatar name that represents how they want to present themselves, select a password, and with parent permission can begin exploring different virtual worlds to take on quests and learn through play.
