More about Dan White, in his own words

Dan White believes good gameplay and good learning are complementary rather than oppositional forces. An alumnus of Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin – Madison, Dan earned an M.S. in Education Technology under seminal learning game scholars Drs. Kurt Squire and James Paul Gee. Before founding Filament in 2005, Dan worked as a teacher, an instructional designer, and game developer. Dan’s passions include learning games, sustainability, mindfulness, and modernizing institutional education.
