  EGADS…World of Warcraft. Played for 2 years plus 6 months of beta testing before release! I’m glad to have gotten that monkey off my back when I quit playing back in late September. I can honestly say that quitting has been the best thing for me…I’m concentrating more on my classroom, researching and reading blogs such as this and really pushed me to beginning my own blog.

  […] I listened to David Warlick’s Connect Learning podcast #77 on the way to work today in which he sits down with his son and learns about World of Warcraft. David finds it fascinating that his son doesn’t ask people he meets where they are from, or located at around the world. Students today are becoming more global, we are still fascinated that we can chat or Skype around the world. I know every time I send a file via Skype to someone it amazes me, but this generation is global, it’s always been that way or at least they don’t find it surprising that it is that way….society has changed. No longer are you stuck in a small town in Northern Canada like Clarence Fisher’s class…instead you can be in Northern Canada and be a member of a global society. Placement on the earth is becoming irrelevant. Being able to connect to others is what is relevant. […]

  I had to laugh when I listened to this podcast, as it sounded like the exact conversation I had with my sons. They were trying to convince me to create a character and play World of Warcraft with them. As I listened to them, I could not (or would not) comprehend what appeared to be a complex world only accessible to their generation. However, I decided that in order to ‘connect’ with my 13 yr old in his world, that I, his mother, would create a character and give it a try as a special Christmas present for him. Little did I know that I would really enjoy the experience and, in the process, gain a new understanding and insight into his ‘world.’ We play together, solving problems and completing quests. Sometimes, he sends me virtual presents and notes in the game through the mail system… such as two linen shirts that he learned to make with his new tailoring skills. As an educator and a parent, I have concerns about the amount of time kids spend playing video games, but if we, as parents and educators, can gain a better understanding of what video games have to offer kids in the areas of information problem-solving, teamwork, etc., we can help kids make the connections between their virtual adventures and the world outside thier screens.

  I really enjoyed this podcast. I laughed several times. When I see and hear the things that our kids are doing in video games, it really makes me cringe when I walk into a classroom and the students are doing those answer-the-questions-at-the-end-of-the-chapter activities. I think it’s totally true that a lot of students have to downshift when they walk into the traditional classroom because they live in such a technologically, globally rich atmosphere at home.

  Thanks for this tour! I listened on my way to school, where many many of my students have told me about World of Warcraft - now I can understand more of what they’re saying. Your questions and Martin’s answers are just as interesting as the game playing itself.

  David,
  I enjoyed this conversation very much. My neighbor’s 12 year old plays WoW and they asked me to advise them on their home network security. Seeing that the boy had all security turned off, I advised that gaming and security were incompatible! How do you protect the integrity of your home network?

  […] 这几个简单的词，正是学校2.0和学校1.5的差别。 虽然科技进步驱动了学校2.0的变化，但是学校2.0本身与技术无关，它关乎社会进步，关乎世界文化。技术有很大作用，但是发生变化的是社会。从把工作外包到亚洲，到在车里安装GPS，到电话、pda、网络、音乐、视频、图片 iphone，社会都发生了变化，而这才是需要新学校的原因。如果你认为学校需要变化是由于技术的原因，我想你是弄错了。学校需要变化是因为我们的社会已经变化了。 今天开车上班途中，我听了David Warlick的 连接学习（播客77）。他和他的儿子一起坐下，学习战斗机世界。David发现了有趣的事情，他的儿子不问自己遇到的那些人从哪儿来，在世界的什么位置。今天的学生更具有全球意识，而我们还在为能与世界各地的人聊天或者Skype而着迷。我知道，每一次通过Skype给他人发送文件时，我都感到吃惊，但是这一代是全球化的，对他们而言，事情一直如此，或者至少他们不觉得有什么好大惊小怪的……社会已经变化了。你再也不会局限于加拿大北部的一个小城镇里，象Clarence Fisher的课堂一样 ……相反，你可以在整个加拿大北部，并且成为全球化社会的一分子，具体的地理位置逐渐不重要了，重要的是能与其他人相连接。 […]

  The home loans are very useful for people, which would like to organize their own company. In fact, this is comfortable to get a secured loan.
