I know this is not the place for quick, short posts, but my God, how much time does it waste to play these online games? I’m not talking about playing educational games, which research is showing are effective for learning. I’m talking about recreational gaming. How much time out of our precious lives is being wasted on this stuff? You can spend HOURS playing games, building your realm/kingdom/whatever, and to what effect? What do you have to show for it, after all, when all is said and done? (offline) Nothing. What a colossal waste of time most of these are.

About msmouce
I teach English, primarily online, at TCC through the Virginia Beach campus, on one of our five campuses. We are spread out through Virginia, Chesapeake, Norfolk, and Portsmouth, Virginia. I teach composition most of the time. I no longer teach developmental English online, although I think that developmental English is important for our students. I just think it does a disservice to most of our developmental English students to put them in this environment because they need a more stabilizing influence as they find their way through college (and college-level English) than we can provide online. My English 3 students have been wonderful; however, I don't want to give them short shrift in class, which is what seems to happen online.
