Since when did the word "play" become outlawed in kindergarten? I remember a time when kindergarten classrooms were stocked with wooden blocks, paint, and dramatic-play corners complete with costuming, furniture, appliances, and play food. Not so long ago, there was a period during the day when we encouraged kindergarten students to freely explore, create, and interact with the materials and people around them.

The object here is not to necessarily use WoW in school but examine which elements of gameplay translate into new and unique learning experiences online or off. PLEASE ADD YOUR COMMENTS TO THE DOCUMENT!
