This document provides an overview of playing a mage in World of Warcraft, including:
- Mages do a lot of damage from a distance but have low armor so they need to stay at range.
- They have useful utility abilities like teleporting groups, turning enemies into sheep, and increasing spell power for groups.
- Arcane specialization focuses on sustained spell damage, fire emphasizes AoE and mobility, and frost prioritizes survivability with a water elemental pet.
- As a mage, players should stay at maximum range, use crowd control like polymorph, and kite enemies by slowing them to stay safe in combat.

Global Education Conference Session 2015
The ISTE Games & Simulations Network, ISTE Mobile Learning Network and ISTE Global Collaboration Network are collaborating on a scheduled multilingual tweetchat that anyone can join. Come learn what we learned from putting on a 30 minute synchronous and 24 hour slow tweetchat that went out in 3 languages but grew to 8 languages. We will also discuss the threefold purpose of the #globalgamechat. Its purpose is to 1) have educators sharing information in the language of their choice 2) broaden the discussion of games for change, social action and global understanding 3) give educators and their students an opportunity to participate in a multilingual event.
