Thanks to Yankee for this link about education in World of Warcraft:
http://www.wow.com/2009/07/14/15-minutes-of-fame-learn-to-game-to-game-to-learn/

Here's a sample paragraph
<<Peggy Sheehy and Lucas Gillispie came to our attention in the comments of a previous 15 Minutes of Fame about a player who teaches a college course inside the World of Warcraft. "My middle school will be starting with an after-school club (always the gateway)," wrote Peggy, "but others joining us will be implementing it with the 'at-risk' student population, the 'gifted' student group, as well as mainstream classes for specific content-area projects." This is no upstart project; Peggy established the first middle school on the Teen Grid in Second Life three years ago, while Lucas has established an online wiki where educators all over the world can collaborate on a standard-aligned curriculum for using WoW in the schools.>>

Only the stoutest arm, the bravest heart, with a magic charm and a good head start can ever outfox the Fox
