New chapter in the edited collection “Gaming in a Postdigital World! @virginiak.bsky.social and I were happy to think with writer Seth Price’s idea of “machine time” and McBride et al’s Humanizing Data Expression framework. Read to see how players disrupt dominant stories about ed tech and AI!
Join us for next week’s chat on #literacies Summer Kickoff: Celebrating this Year and Looking Ahead”!
Pass this on to a #literacies recent grad!
