I do not get it? Am i missing something?

If i am 100% honest, i did not catch the gist of any of the aims which were focused on in both the video and the article. The only real thing i understand from these sources is that one should find tricks or ways of getting learners to partake in an activity without them even knowing that they are learning anything from it. I thought it was very clever how Abby Wills managed to get control of her learners simply by giving them a small "pointless" activity to do. The feedback she got from her learners was even more remarkable. I really don't have anything more to add on this section of Pedagogy studies as i mentioned previously, i really did not grasp what point was trying to come across. I apologize for this poor entry but i really feel like i'm missing something. Have a great week people.
