After viewing this website whatsyourplace.de (WYP) I came to the conclusion that I could not find any use for this in the classroom. After viewing the Michael Wesch video I thought I would be getting something that would transform the classroom for the students but what I found was a game that would empty their pockets. The website was very easy to register for you just had to create a name for the game and develop a password. The really didn’t ask much information from you to join. Make sure that you pick the right country. I made that mistake but it was easily remedied by clicking on the little flag on the upper right hand corner of the page that stood for the United States. They then asked me to pay nine ninety-five in order to play the game. It also gave me the opportunity to play the game for free. Once I made my choice I ended up getting a Google map and directions that suggested I pick a parcel of land. I choose a parcel of land and the game sent me some options of what I was going to use this parcel of land for. My choices were city, industrial, or farmland use. Once I chose my options the game again tried to charge me nine ninety-five. This time I wasn’t able to go any further until I paid the money using a credit card. I really did know how the game was played other than the fact that it was supposed to allow me to get involved with real estate deals and work with others within a community setting. It would not be suggested for use in the school environment.
