I blog about Education Technology Exploration here.

When I want to distract myself on the web nowadays, much of that time is spent working on my character in World of Warcraft (WoW), while also wearing my discovery hat, in thinking of what my process of learning and valuing the system is. This has me using Thottbot a lot.  I don't have a ton of time to play, so I have to make my play time matter.

Because I find WoW such a fun and compelling visual environment and I have great affinity for my characters there, I am blending professional and personal interests in using WoW as a Machinima  creation space.I always feel better about my play time when I can justify that skill building is happening in tandem.
