James Paul Gee - Handheld Learning 2009 - 6 views

    Video of Professor James Paul Gee discussing the importance of situated learning, where images, actions, dialogues and experiences immerse you in this. Where you can marry words to worlds whereas verbal understanding in traditional education is worthless (to understand words you get more words or definititions). Gaming gives you a new tool that will let you surmise new possiblities so you can look at the environment in a new way. Every word is married to an action in a game: WOW, Sims2 or Yugioh. How do you give people a passion? Mentoring and to mentor others - knowledge is dispersible and distributed. Learning is your own responsibility and collaboration and help are essential to learning.
