After playing each of the the games for at least 20 minutes, include your thoughts about what unique experiences these types of game offers players in a digital reflection (Blog, Youtube video, Cinch, etc), offer some reflections about the game-play, it's impact, and some details about where you went and what you did.
ARG's might be the coolest thing I've seen yet! I had heard about I Love Bees, but had no idea exactly what it was or entailed. I didn't even know these kinds of things existed, but then, I do live in the MidWest, I'm sure they exist here, but the ones for the Cali area look pretty sweet! The rabbit hole phenomena is a sure way to quickly excite and engage kids. I also really like this because their seems to be a lot of real world work potential. Infact, when searching for ARGs in my area all I got were Supreme Court docs (are they trying to tell me something...) I stumbled on this cool vid

I am a WoW player, but not a WoWaholic, and yes, I did download Runes of Magic so I could experience another MMO. I have trouble seeing MMO's in ways other than a game, but I do see applications in a lot of learning related terms. I think their are a lot of possibilities with some of the WoW add-ons to create some great economics and statistics based learning (MarketWatcher, Auctionator). In many ways I you could parallel various guild environments to types of governments, communities, etc.
