Slides from my invited keynote for Game To Learn: Take 2 in Dundee, Scotland on March 18, 2011.
Abstract:
"All you need to understand is everything you know is wrong.”—Weird Al
My mother told me cleaning toilets builds character if done repeatedly. The other night five friends spent more than three hours dying over and over again while playing World of Warcraft (WoW). She never said anything about dying. I found cleaning toilets only gets you clean toilets. Dying and playing, however, teaches you important things. Demons, dragons, dwarves, and possibly folklore, you could see, but learning, love, and leadership?
Sounds crazy, but it’s true: World of Warcraft has something to say about learning. Prepare yourself, because everything you thought you knew is wrong.
Note: This version has stills in place in the movies to reduce the file size for sharing.
