Scenes from Calypso's Cave: On Globalization and the Pedagogical Prospects of the Gift

David W. Jardine, Patricia Clifford and Sharon Friesen

Abstract

In this article we use a series of ordinary classroom events to explore how we might conceive of the classroom as a gift economy and what difference this would make for thinking through the potential globalizing effects of the Internet, especially given the intense current interest in introducing such technologies into the classroom.
