Gamification of culture

An interesting video on the gamification of culture and what this might mean for work and education.  This has been floating around the news recently with a whiff of giddy utopianism.   Luckily the Extra Credit guys also look at the potential dangers involved as well.

They've also recently done an interesting video on tangential learning which is really useful when thinking about learning and interactive media.
