Lots of interesting things on Twitter this past week:

I was wrong: games ARE an alternative vision – Patrick Dunn. via @cliveshepherd
E-learning designers believe that people learn through “content”. They assume that encountering content will lead people to change their behaviour. Games designers believe that people learn through “experience”. They assume that having experiences – doing and feeling things – leads to change in behaviour.

Everybody is a Journalist: Supreme Court of Canada rules on defence of responsible communication. via @david_a_eaves
[From the decision on Grant vs Torstar Corp.] However, the traditional media are rapidly being complemented by new ways of communicating on matters of public interest, many of them online, which do not involve journalists. These new disseminators of news and information should, absent good reasons for exclusion, be subject to the same laws as established media outlets. I agree with Lord Hoffmann that the new defence is “available to anyone who publishes material of public interest in any medium”.
