media type="youtube" key="Jv3URJ2EDDQ" height="344" width="425" || This video is kind of neat because it is from the perspective of home teaching and informal learning. The speaker talks about the fact that there is little waste of time with informal learning and the chance of failure is lessened. Very neat perspective!

The second video I've included is by Jay Cross from the Internet time group. He is the same speaker that is in Erika's video. He is very passionate about informal learning and thinks that it is irresponsible for people to ignore informal learning. ||

The second video shows elementary school students using an iPod touch in the classroom. I thought the discussion was amazing! ||
