cultural models and learning

This chapter was interesting. I like how he went into depth about what you learn from video games. I like what he said about cultural models to. It seems like a theme throughout the book in the sense of your experiences are how you interrupt. For instance the little kid describing the sonic hedgehog. When he is the "shadow" even though it is an evil character you are doing a positive thing by staying alive. I have never thought of it that way in the sense of grand theft auto also. Even though you are killing for the mob you are doing positive thinking and organizing how you are going to stay alive. Really interesting. I think the last chapter will be interesting to see how he concludes it and how he compares it all wrapping up!
