Thing 15 - Online Gaming

The Ohio University Second Life promo is a bit intriguing. It sounds like there are many possibilities for learning, connecting and collaborating.

During this Thing I was also reminded of a positive connection to video gaming that I had while reading Daniel Pink's book: A Whole New Mind. He give a specific example about a video game simulation used to train military personnel on maneuvers with great success.

Personally, I'm more of an outdoor, face-to-face kind of gal. This Thing gave me a chance to rethink and reaffirm my values. I am grateful for the efficiency that technology brings to my everyday life, but I don't use it much at all for entertainment purposes.
