As I lamented in Friday’s post, we Americans aren’t terribly good at geography.

If our schools aren’t willing to change that, let’s take it into our own hands.

Sporcle is one example of an existing site that gamifies learning in a pretty cool way – especially when it comes to geography. My favorite basic quizzes are US States and Countries of the World.

At Rukuku, we think that new, interactive online resources can really help to fill the gaps that our school system leaves behind. That’s one of the ideas behind the solutions that we’re working on here. If you’d like to stay updated and have a chance at our launch, we invite you to sign up!
