NCTIES 2011 – A Hero’s Journey – Play and Pedagogy in World of Warcraft
The WoWinSchool Wiki – this is the central hub of the project. Anyone can read any page here. If you wish to contribute, and we encourage you to do so, you’ll need an author account. Be sure to request access and tell me your connection to education.
Edurealms.com – my games in education blog. This is also where I’ll be sharing personal reflections on the experiences of the WoWinSchool Project.
Eight Myths About Video Games Debunked – great article by Dr. Henry Jenkins. It addresses the issues of violence, demographics, etc.

More Resources
Visco Entertainment – Peggy and I have worked with these guys to get copies of the software and game time cards. They’re very supportive of the project and offer discounts for volume purchases. Just let them know you’re starting your own WoWinSchool Project.
Lord of the Rings Online – a free-to-play MMORPG that could easily be used in lieu of World of Warcraft for a similar project.
