Jane McGonigal: Gaming can make a better world

Posted by Citrond in the Chocobo Chat...this is a really good video to watch, and I didn't want anyone to miss it. It covers "truth" about gaming which is quite awesome and everyone should watch it!

Quote :

Games like World of Warcraft give players the means to save worlds, and
incentive to learn the habits of heroes. What if we could harness this
gamer power to solve real-world problems? Jane McGonigal says we can,
and explains how.

Very good video. Give you a lot to think about. Very innovative.

That was cool! I love TED talks! This is another one with Johnny Lee and I plan on using this idea if I am in a school with no interactive whiteboard.

I commented in the shoutbox because I didn't know you made this into an actual post lol, I'll just copy-paste my comment:

I don't want to save the real world! video game worlds are far more interesting :p plus I don't get supapowas!

But she says we do possess suppapowas! Blissful Optimism, Social Fabric...darn I already forgot the other two.

Way to show how much you learned from that video there Bri-bri...rofl

At least I remembered something

I never learn anything :o lol

Intresting video.
I dont agree with everything shee says, but its nice to know some people actually care.
