Magney, Tammy; Sorenson, Kim – American School & University, 2011
All one has to do is look around to see how "natural" learning occurs. At coffee shops, airports, lobbies, libraries and even family kitchens and living rooms, lifelong learners have their laptops open and cell phones in constant motion.
