2. Curatr When you see children in a museum  They run around and choose what they want to look at first  Eventually they cover everything When you watch someone play commercial games  They are intent and focused  Goal is to complete tasks or gain experience points to reach the next level In developing Curatr, Ben Botts tries to combine both approaches. The idea is that in school as well as life, grading can be based on how far you achieve (i.e. level attained)
