		<description>As I was reading your post, Charlotte, it occurred to me that Maryellen Weimer might have called your inventive approach "Learner-Centered Teaching." 

In the preface of her book with that title (Jossey-Bass, 2002, Preface xviii), she suggests, "when teaching is learner-centered, the role of the teacher changes...Learner-centered teachers are guides, facilitators, and designers of learning experiences. They are no longer the main performer [sic], the one [sic] with the most lines, or the one [sic] working harder than everyone else to make it all happen. The action in the learner-centered classroom features the students. Teaching action expedites learning."

Thanks for a really entertaining and enlightening post!</description>

		<description>Boooyaa, indeed.  More evidence of a misspent youth!

Hmmmm. "A series of patterns that you adhere to in hopes of navigating the maze effectively for as long as you can?"

Sounds like online searching to me.</description>

		<description>I love Pacman. I got the high score at a retro arcade in Portland, OR not but two months ago - I made it to the third key and amassed 120,000 points. Boooyaa!!!

That being said, you're on to something here - Pacman is not a game its an ethic. A series of patterns that you adhere to in hopes of navigating the maze effectively for as long as you can.  The electronic world has always been malleable but the average persons ability to directly manipulate and interact with images on a TV screen never really occurred until pong, Atari, C64, Coleco Vision, the coin-ops, etc.  After this, that screen no longer represented an unilateral relationship, for we learned then that it can be reciprocal.  Little did we know just how much it could offer us in 2007 once millions and millions of people could use their respective screens to communicate with one another. Gaming is not a hobby nor a childish diversion, rather it is a way of processing media and navigating the representations of our world together -while at the same time laughing.</description>
