Now free to play with a freemium monthly subscription option! This game brought me back to gaming when I had written off MMORPG’s as too simple. The crafting system, combat system, and introduction of a diplomacy option really got me hooked.
Realm of the Mad God!
Great little web-based MMORPG with a detailed tutorial and a fairly big player base. Most unique aspect of the game?! PERMA-DEATH! I also reviewed this on in my Vlog so feel free to check it out there.

I absolutely love this meta-game. A game about the history of games really.
World of Warcraft!
This is one of the top grossing and a majorly popular MMORPG. I no longer play since my doctorate takes up all my free time but it was fun for a while and there is an amazing guild of educators who play.

Regulating –>MOOCs<– as a Headline?!
Holy rusted educational punditry Batman! Did I just put MOOC and regulation in the same sentence. Twice!? Zoinks!
Alright, moving past the batman references that I am too young to truly appreciate – no I didn’t do it. Or at least I was not the first. I refuse to link the original article on principle. Perhaps we need to stop using the acronym as a word but isn’t open one of MOOCs middle names? Somehow I feel we might mess with MOOCs identity even more if we start messing around with the second letter.
Aren’t we already stretching the M? I mean, how massive do we need to go to use massive as a term? I joined one “MOOC” with 20 participants. I think it fit the last three letters but OOC sounds like something an Orc Grunt says in World of Warcraft.
Actually I think this helps. If we regulate MOOCs they become MOCs. Long live the MOC! “What a great MOC!” Saves me a whole character when I tweet this out too!

Thinking Face
Integrative Thinking
What is a thinking face? I have been considering a definition for this expression. I use it a lot and we see the varieties of the thinking face in everyday life.
