Notes de l'éditeur
- real-world games will enable Macon residents to forge new, community-building relationships support from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Area/Code Entertainment Area/Code Entertainment, which received $963,900 in Knight funding, developed the game, Macon Money, which will use real rewards to bring together diverse Macon residents. The game is part of Knight’s continuing efforts to support revitalizing Macon and creating a vibrant college town. Launched this past fall, offer real rewards in a local “currency” that can be spent at participating College Hill and downtown businesses, including cafes and retail stores. To earn the currency, players must cash in “bonds” that have been distributed to residents of Macon. The catch is that each player gets just half a bond and to turn it in must find the person holding the other half. To find their match, players can use whatever means their imagination and ingenuity can invent – social media, online message boards, the Macon Money website – even face-to-face contact. “Cash” in hand, the players then decide how and where to spend their Macon Money.
- There's more to game culture than playing games. Innovations within the game industry and the gamer community have sparked emergent forms of expression as well as an impressive amount of creative interaction and engagement that have allowed for games to cross over into filmmaking, social networks, music and education. From the release of tools to make user-created content such as custom avatars and maps, to the addition of filmmaking tools, a large opening has formed in digital media through which the gaming community is showing that they are not just passive consumers, but engaged media makers.

- Twelve hours after the earthquake struck Japan on Friday, March 11 th , 2011, Zynga launched in-game initiatives that made donations possible across a number of our most popular games, including Farmville. Zynga asked its FarmVille players to pitch in and help by making donations in the form of purchasing a special permit to grow an exclusive Daikon crop. 100% of all the went to Japan ’s Save the Children Earthquake Emergency Fund . Players raised over $1.5 million in just five days.

- Gamers are not afraid to fail, repeatedly. In games, failure is what leads to innovation and learning. It also leads eventually to success and fiero. We are often afraid to let people fail. It lowers retention rates, which lowers our funding, but it also leads to grade inflation and degradation of our degrees. It ’s a slippery slope and we may be denying students the opportunity to feel real satisfaction. http://wowlearning.org/2011/09/16/persist-or-die/
- 1700’s: Curator of Experiments to the Royal Society had salons Part research, part ice breaker, part theater “ electrical machine,” essentially an evacuated glass globe which was turned on an axle and to which friction (a hand, a cloth, a piece of fur) was applied to produce a static electrical charge” – improved device, added mercury, produced a glow – age of candles – source of artificial light Sensational, entertainment – later, Franklin, Volta, Faraday – foundation for electricity – this took decades of toolbuilding, experimentation Playing is essential to understanding what the technology is and where it will go Building blocks: inspiration, incubation, play, refinement – games (thinking about our larger world as a game that we can build on, remix) is a part of that process
