Whittaker, Alexandra L.; Howarth, Gordon S.; Lymn, Kerry A. – Educational Media International, 2014
There has been widespread comment on the use and impact of Web 2.0 technologies in education.

This paper provides a preliminary…

Relatively little is known about less "legitimate" moments such as humor or off-task talk, and existing studies on playful interaction have been limited to EFL or foreign language classrooms. Based on 16 hours of videotaped interactions…

Lewis, Tyson Edward – Educational Philosophy and Theory, 2010
In several enigmatic passages, Paulo Freire describes the pedagogy of the oppressed as a "pedagogy of laughter".

And yet, laughter seems to be an important aspect of the pedagogy of…
