Physics of superheroes

I've started paying attention to ways in which professors teach material that otherwise seems dry, boring and "old school". I may well soon be teaching (or at least ta-ing) a methods course (I hope) so this new awareness seems prudent.

And now that I understand what James Kakalios is up to, with his Superheroes approach to elementary physics, I'm wondering how to do the same thing using online digital worlds a la WoW and SL.

Another book to add to the Christmas list then!
