edPsych & HOMAGO (hanging out, messing around, & geeking out) hanging out
“ongoing, lightweight social contact” ex: shopping, listening to music, reading /
looking at photos messing around
experimentation / play ex: tooling around online, making videos
geeking out “intense commitment or engagement” ex: writing fan fiction, designing websites

self introduction Make a list of 2-3 things you think you “geek out” about (or have an
“intense commitment or engagement” with)
Introductions—say: Your name Your hometown & major One thing you geek out about that you think makes you unique in
this class If anybody else also geeks out about that thing, you have to pick
something new

big idea #1: social learning learning that:
happens collaboratively, through interactions between individuals (& culture);
has social effects (changes a community or culture); and changes the individuals engaged in the learning activity.
Although social learning has always been around, new technologies make social learning more possible, more powerful, and more accessible to more people.
