    Design a quest chain, based on your experience with other quests in the game. The chain must involve at least two different areas in the zone and have at least five steps. Write all the dialogue that the NPCs involved in the quest would say. Make sure you indicate the quest requirements and the steps involved in the quest. You can research quest chains using one of the online quest helper databases like WoWWiki, Thotbott, etc.

    "So let's see - how radical can we get with education? What if every child had their own device to connect to the world of knowledge and what if it was actually engaging and fun. What if children could search for any topic they wanted to know about and find complete high quality resources on it in seconds, on a screen right in front of them? What if kids could match their interests and knowledge needs with other kids whom they could link with around the globe? "

    A recent 93-page report on online education, conducted by SRI International for the Department of Education, has a starchy academic title, but a most intriguing conclusion: "On average, students in online learning conditions performed better than those receiving face-to-face instruction."
  • anonymous on 12 Dec 09
     
    Interesting. Though I'm curious about what's being assessed. there's a certain social knowledge and development that occurs in visually and physically mediated spaces that is more difficult to discern online. as well, wondering how online disinhibition (actors and lurkers) factors into who "performs" well or is under serviced by online only contexts.

  • You need to hang out for minutes and hours, every day, to get in the groove.
  • You are responsible for whoever else's babble you are going to direct into your awareness.
  • ou don't have to be a professional writer to think about publics
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • Anyone who publishes a blog knows that they are not simply broadcasting to a passive audience – blog readers can comment, can link back, can criticize and analyze, and in many instances, can join the blogger in some form of collective action in the physical world.
  • Few people follow exactly the same people who follow them
  • Developing the ability to know how much attention and trust to devote to someone met online is a vitally important corollary skill. Personal learning networks are not a numbers game. They are a quality game.
  • it's an ecology in which communities can emerge.
  • the ability to follow searches for phrases like "swine flu" or "Howard Rheingold" in real time provides a kind of ambient information radar on topics that interest me.
  • to me, successful use of Twitter comes down to tuning and feeding. And by successful, I mean that I gain value - useful information, answers to questions, new friends and colleagues - and that the people who follow me gain value in the form of entertainment, useful information, and some kind of ongoing relationship with me.
  • You have to tune who you follow
  • I learned from master educators on Twitter that growing and tuning a "personal learning network" of authoritative sources and credible co-learners is one of the strategies for success in a world of digital networks.
  • Everyone has a different mix of these elements, which is part of the charm of Twitter. My personal opinion is that I need to keep some personal element going, but not to overdo it
  • Returning to my use of the word literacy to describe both a set of skills for encoding and decoding as well as the community to which those skills provide entrance
  • Whatever you call this blend of craft and community, one of the most important challenges posed by the real-time, ubiquitous, wireless, always-on, often alienating interwebs are the skills required for the use of media to be productive and to foster authentic interpersonal connection, rather than waste of time and attention on phony, banal, alienated pseudo-communication. Know-how is where the difference lies.
  • anonymous on 12 Dec 09
     
    The difference between seeing Twitter as a waste of time or as a powerful new community amplifier depends entirely on how you look at it - on knowing how to look at it.
