Are you a K-12 teacher who plays MMOs?

General Discussion Started Last reply 9 posts
Hello,

I am a college professor who teaches a course on virtual worlds at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. Last year, I taught a course on World of Warcraft.

Two of the students in my class are very interested in understanding more about the educational potential of massively multiplayer games. They hope to speak with K-12 teachers (as well as college instructors/professors) who have thoughts about strengths and limitations of this approach. If you would be willing to chat with them, please contact me at:

I understand that the gaming community is bombarded with survey requests that never lead anywhere. This request is different. Our class is committed to sharing its research findings. At the end of the semester, all student papers and presentations will be linked to the course web site and made available to anyone with an Internet connection.

For last year’s research papers, see:

Thanks in advance for your time.

Hrm... You do realise, that your link is leading to a site full of student blogs with EQ2 images, not WoW ? ;)

Also, would you be interested in international teachers as well ? (not that I am one) If yes, you might want to explain a bit, what "K-12" means ;)

International Kitten
K - 12 is Kindergarten ( you should know that german world kitty =p ) through 12th grade, the last grade level before college.
