    Mark Dohn. He is an EMDT student currently in Month 5 and one of our ADEs. Mark is involved with an organization called impossible2Possible (i2P), which works to inspire today's youth in becoming leaders in both social and environmental action. On October 20th, he will be leaving for the Amazon jungle and will be returning on November 1st. During this time, Mark will have access to video, photos, authentic jungle sounds, and a satellite dish, which can record and transmit information directly to the Internet. Below is a brief description of the trip he will be going on and a link to the i2P site. In October 2010, four i2P Youth Ambassadors will join Ray Zahab, along with fellow i2P ambassadors and adventurers, in this incredible journey through the Tapajos National Forest. Youth ambassadors will trek for up to 8 days - and nearly 200kms - through incredibly dense jungle, swamps and oppressive humidity in a quest to study and learn about the culture and biodiversity of the region. For more information including a ten minute CNN interview with the founders of i2P, you can visit the site here: http://impossible2possible.com/i2p . This is an incredible opportunity for us to connect with i2P and experience how they are implementing technology, experiential learning and a global community to "educate, inspire, and empower" students. The question is, how can we leverage this trip to benefit both Mark and EMDT. Please bring your ideas to the brainstorming session on Thursday, September 22nd from 6:30-7:30 EST in the PD Wimba room. Hope to see everyone there! Thank you in advance, Rena

Reflections on Play, Pedagogy, and World of Warcraft (EDUCAUSE Quarterly) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • The video game World of Warcraft was the text studied, the laboratory, and the classroom for the online course "Warcraft: Culture, Gender, and Identity" at Inver Hills Community College.
  • The overarching goals of the course involved using the game's immersive environment, learning strategies, and culture to encourage and support student learning.
  • In addition to achieving the intended course outcomes, students successfully transferred the concepts they learned between the real and the virtual worlds.
