Teaching the Attention Economy pt 2

After reading Erik's recent post about the difficulty of getting students to fully grasp the concept of the Attention Economy, I came across a blog where an assistant professor at SUNY Oswego, Ulises Mejias, came up with a game to help facilitate understanding.

Ironically, the game is set up using handwritten dry-erase boards and strips of paper passed amongst students sitting in a circle, simulating online social networks and blogs.

Here are the rules to the game.

I'd be curious what other models we could come up with, if we put some time into it.
