Hanging Out
She only mentioned friends once in the interview, and that was when I asked her about knowing people who did this [used technology the same way she did]. She said that all of her friends play Minecraft and Candy Crush, too. She also mentioned that she thinks everyone does. I think this shows how little kids sometimes think the world truly is. In her mind, because her and her friends all played these two games, everyone must. It also shows that she, like most kids, partakes in activities using technology that she feels others her age are participating in.
Messing Around
When examining her responses, it seems that Minecraft and CoolMath could both serve as possible informal learning opportunities. I also feel like her using YouTube is an experience for her to learn tech savvy skills, such as using a search engine.
Geeking Out
It is clear that her interests fall around music. She mentioned several times that she plays games that deal with music, she listens to music a lot, and she searches for music videos.
Schooling
My student did not mention using technology in any of these forms, but she did mention that she has used her home computer for research before for school projects or homework.
