We brought back episode 7 guest Lucas Gillispie.  He is our resident expert on the use of World of Warcraft within the classroom.  Lucas discusses his curriculum and the use of machinima.  Machinima is the use of real-time video graphics (from games) and creating a cinematic production.  Lucas is finalizing a full year curriculum based on WoW and he has connected these lessons to the common core standards.  We also discussed 3D GameLab, new games, and upcoming games, which should be helpful for those who are searching for some fun.

You can Find Lucas Gillispie at EduRealms.  He is the Instructional Technology Coordinator for Pender County Schools in southeastern North Carolina.
