Unorthodox Teaching Aid. Blogpoly: From Monopoly to Blogpoly “It
is just a game. It is fun to use the board to lay out the Blogosphere
Ecosystem. It helps me to think and learn about blogging culture by
transforming the original game into this version. I had to think about
which company and enterprise to choose and set up first on the board.
The space is limited, so I picked well known names in blogging
industry. Besides the private properties, there are two public
utilities--the water works and the electric company. Then I thought of
‘Wikipedia’ and ‘Creative Commons’, and then a few more, making
‘criminal’ into ‘spammer’, ‘free parking’ into ‘free hosting’. ‘Chance’
and ‘community chest’ become ‘comment’ and ‘trackback’. Fun -- yes?
There is not much difference for me transforming the game than writing
a poem, using similes, metaphors and symbols.” [littleoslo, via Boing Boing] 
This
is a nice, visual representation of bloggy and social sites/services.
It could serve as an interesting conversation piece in training
classes, especially tech CE events. [The Shifted Librarian]
