I am saddened and feeling the twinge of impending withdrawl. Supposed copyright infringement has just gotten personal! I cannot believe that the big corporate suits are shutting down Facebook’s Bogglific! This is horrible. This game has reawakened in me a love of a game I have not played since I was a child. Hasbro, listen up! You owe these Bogglific guys a favor! They made you more customers. This should be rewarded. Instead you punish us all.

Here is an awesome blog post from Global Kidz about the things students are learning inside and around digital games, and how they learn about social resistance and working the system (some very real-worls skills) while doing so.
[staff reflections] Gaming the DOE – be sure to read beyond the GTA anecdote at the top (which is great).
This story sends me back to my readings in Anthropology in grad school and one of my favorite scholars of social resistance, James Scott. This could be an example in his seminal book on the topic Domination and the Arts of Resistance: Hidden Transcripts.
