People-Based Learning w/ Dr. Jane Shore (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In case you're not familiar at all with the Katamari video game series. As the player, you navigate this ball that starts off small at first until everything in the environment sticks to you, and by the end of a level you have entire buildings, trees, cars, and all manner of flora and fauna stuck to you. I have the sense that my guest today is a human katamari. Every experience and interaction sticks, and she's made it the mission of her life to make sense of it all. Dr. Jane Shore is an author,

But even though at some point many of us stop playing games—even if we don't stop paying attention to them—we hold onto the experiences, the feel
