 Slide 16 "HOMAGO" "Good videos games and Good learning" "Representation" "Master and Little Narrative" were all class readings that advocated informal learning or challenged traditional schooling Slide 17 English 1102 looked like hanging out and messing around because you're allowed to participate in self-directed and interest driven activities in a non-judgemental environment
