The Multi-Player Classroom
One of the teachers at my school was written as a case study in this book: The Multiplayer Classroom: Designing Coursework as a Game by Lee Sheldon
You can see him talk about his classroom and see the actual gaming site here: rlsms.com/kq
His multi-player classroom was exciting to watch! Curious to see if others have tried to incorporate gaming in the classroom.

This model of a Multiplayer classroom is very exciting and next year I will be fully implementing it.
