Situated Learning

After reading Chapter 4 on Situated Learning I feel that I gained a little more of Gee's personality on learning. I feel that he was trying to convey that learning comes from all different angles at all times during our lives. He mentions different examples in the text, that some terms mean different things in different contexts. I totally agree with this claim is presenting. I also feel that in our culture, especially in music and art forms, that our lingo (words of endearment and expression) takes on different meanings depending on who the person is expressing it to.

From this chapter I tried comparing it with video games since it is the title of the book. I come to find that it does have a relationship. In video games, one must learn how to adapt what they learn in different levels, different weapons, different rewards, and etc. Each level is different and harder than the one before, therefore, one must learn how to use what they learned previously in another setting or situation.

If anyone had a different take or similiar take on what I received from reading this chapter I am more than welcome to hear or read it in your blog...
