Here comes
Dragons Vs. Robots! This is an RPG with transmedia ambitions. It is definitely not EduPunx, in that the plan here is clearly to target the tween market with a ton of different strategies designed to separate them from their money.
However, if it takes off, we'll figure out ways to piggy back on their involvement, and discover "teachable moments." LOL! I promise never…

The article chose to focus on the Dread Pirates, who have formed real bonds of friendship through playing WoW together. They meet IRL life at BlizzCon, but in-game three or four nights a week. These guys are each other's "peeps" or "posse": when they need someone to talk to, hang with, or heal with, they turn to their fellow pirates.
Is there something wrong with this? I don't think so. But I know there's still a lot of opposition to the very thought that deep and lasting friendships -- the kin…

NeoSteam, a free MMORPG, just became available in England. The
press release makes me think the game isn't available in the US, but I still need to verify that. If you visit the website, there's a video preview.
I don't know how to distinguish this from WoW or Runescape! Anyone?

Here is a
fascinating spin on immersion from one of the Center's favorite friends, Botgirl Questi.
I think the really interesting aspect of this story is her take on immersion.
But on a side note: Her confession is creating some anxiety in the blogosphere, and the funny thing is, we don't really know that much more about her! It really shows how significant gender and…

From London's Independent. I thought this part was key:
What is important, says Black, is that a creative teacher uses the right tool for the job.
Does the CYTIE Rubric measure that? I don't think so, and frankly, I don't think it should (since matching the tool to the job is a different exercise than measuring CYTIE). However, this does indicate the need for another rubric.

This one isn't machinima. It's a 5-minute video of a lecture -- the architect explains the design decisions underlying a building he designed in SL.
Great ideas about how to create illusions by violating the physics of the real world while visually emulating it. Continue

Where do we fit in this picture? This is such a great topic for EduPunx to discuss. I think our spirited voyage into Web 2.0 and beyond clearly shows that our combined teaching of content-related skills (like MMGD, Accounting, reading and writing, thinking, etc.) and digital literacy is innovative, and passes the "utility" test with flying colors.
