World of Warcraft Wisdom: Games vs. Television
I swear, in some of my classes, I am the stupid one. You have to realize, that I teach Advanced Placement classes, along with two in the International Baccalaureate Program. When these kids come into my class room, I am in awe of both their intelligence and their intellectual understandings.But, I was reminded today that we all have avenues of escape when one girl, who is up for the single most prestigious scholarship that the state of Colorado offers, well, she had a few minutes before class, and there in her hands was the latest issue of Seventeen Magazine.

Exploring the World of Warcraft
Design by Marty Smith A little over three weeks ago, Blizzard Entertainment opened the beta test for its upcoming massively multiplayer online role-playing game, World of Warcraft. Currently expected to ship in late 2004, World of Warcraft is one of the year's most highly anticipated games for the PC. Since the game's announcement almost three years ago, the flow of information on World of Warcraft has been somewhat closer to a trickle, despite a huge amount of interest from Blizzard's fans, and fans of massively multiplayer online (MMO) games in general. Now that the beta test is open and the nondisclosure agreement has been lifted, the floodgates have opened, and gamers are drinking up the information as fast as it's made available.
