"lol, I really like this idea of Owlers... That's a great idea... What do they use them for exactly...?"
We have auctions 2 or 3 times a day. The highest bidder gets to choose from an assortment of penny candy and cheap little toys. And then there's the general black market - the kids trading any and everything all the time between one another, from favorite pencils to chips and cookies at lunch. So the Owlers serve as a general monetary unit for the kids to use as they see fit.
You might help the kids understand social science and the complexities of the marketplace by changing seemingly minor details of the currently totalitarian Owler 'economy'. (I'm not attacking you, of course, just very curious about applying individualist principles fully, and effectively with students)
I am very interested in the dynamics of a free (aka 'politically egalitarian') classroom, and in a more realistic incentive structure in an intellectual environment...
lol well that is a good strike, now they have to have more server which equals more money, which equals more ads, and too many ads pisses off viewers then the zombies come Cropper is takin down the system lol
I agree with Rod, brilliant system.

MrCropper, your strike against YouTube consists of posting more videos?
If I ever go on strike, I am not going to hire you as my union representative. :-P
