It's nice to be reminded about the basic sort of learning online multi-player gaming can offer. It's this idea of interacting in an environment where you learn things - even if it's only how to build a shelter against zombies - that brings out the enthusiasm in people (it's the same thing with blogging and Twitter and the rest of it, really). In this post. Dean Groom talks about teaching a couple of people about Minecraft in an hour. Minecraft is a bit like virtual Legos, but with Zombies and a whole lot more. Yes, you're learning how to build shelters, but the content is just a McGuffin. It doesn't matter. The real learning takes place in the activities, the creating and the interactions.
