  • For a growing group of educators, the online role-playing game World of Warcraft is a place to go to relax, network, and discover potential learning strategies-- and slay a few monsters if they get in the way.
  • "Does anyone know where to find best practices for a unit on reptiles?"
  • Vyktorea herself belongs to Catherine Parsons, assistant superintendent for curriculum, instruction, and pupil personnel services for Pine Plains Central School District in New York state. Parsons is the founder of this "guild"-- a community of game players with a shared interest. Called Cognitive Dissonance and populated entirely by educators from both K-12 and higher education, it meets regularly in WoW's elaborate, monster-laden fantasy adventure world, where members play, share ideas, and explore possible instructional crossover. Parsons created the guild two years ago and now runs it with help from Sandy Wagner, director of technology for New York's Auburn Enlarged City School District.

  • "Cognitive Dissonance represents for me the moment when you realize your perspective may not be the only one, or what you knew before might not be true or may need to evolve or change based on the new information you have gathered," Parsons says. "For many, the idea that video games might represent some analogy to an effective learning structure, or that there might just be something to using video games in the classroom, is one some educators might consider 'nontraditional.' So what better name than Cognitive Dissonance-- the uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously."
