Playing per Stuart Brown
by smithtk ~ August 3rd, 2009. Filed under: Uncategorized.The title of my blog incorporates playing. We all play, or should play, and we derive important satisfaction, good feelings, overall life benefits…so of course it follows that play should be an important component in learning. The brilliant Dr. Stuart Brown tells a story in the following TED talk that I see as fitting perfectly into project based learning. In my own classroom, I describe our work as “playing with projects.” Dr. Brown makes the concept perfectly clear for me and illuminates the immense realm of playing.
Visit the National Institute for Play for another interesting video specifically aimed at play and learning.
