Joe Wise Joins GameDesk!

Posted by

How can you use technology to revolutionize schools? Joe Wise, an educator and researcher with 39 years of experience, joins GameDesk to tackle this very question as our very own Associate Director of New School Models and Curriculum. Joe is co-directing GameDesk’s new game and digital based school that will be launching in the Fall of 2012.

Partnering with GameDesk is the natural next step for Wise. Recalling his first meeting with “kindred spirit” Lucien Vattel, CEO of GameDesk, Wise laughs, “It was like listening to me!” The two instantly hit it off and found they had remarkably similar goals. Moving forward alongside GameDesk and Vattel, Wise sees a bright future and the potential to finally realize his ambitious vision: “This is a culmination of years of cultivating relationships, and exploring. This is a really exciting phase in my life.” full story
