WoWinSchool, World Of Warcraft In Schools

]]> It is not surprise that MMORPG such as the popular World of Warcraft (WoW) can be used as a teaching tool in schools. Lucas Gillespie of EduRealms has started a wiki called WoWinSchool to help teachers in implementing WoW to their teaching.

The primary focus of this project is to develop a curriculum for an after school program or “club” for at-risk students at the middle and/or high school level. This program would use the game, World of Warcraft, as a focal point for exploring Writing/Literacy, Mathematics, Digital Citizenship, Online Safety, and would have numerous projects/lessons intended to develop 21st-Century skills.

I always agree games and study can come together harmoniously.
