In kindergartens thesedays, children spend more time with math worksheets and phonics flashcards thanbuilding blocks and finger paint. Kindergarten is becoming more like the restof school. In Lifelong Kindergarten,learning expert Mitchel Resnickargues for the opposite: the rest of school (and even the rest of life) shouldbe more like kindergarten. Most schools focus on teaching children to followrules and instructions, a remnant of a bygone assembly-line era. To thrive intoday's fast-changing world, people of all ages must learn to think and actcreatively - and the best way to do that is through a kindergarten-style approach to making,experimenting, and collaborating, just as children do in traditional kindergartens. Drawing on experiences from more than thirty years at MIT's Media Lab, Resnick discusses new technologies and strategies for engaging young people in creative learning experiences. By providing young people with opportunities to work on projects, based on their passions, in collaboration with peers, in a playful spirit, we can help them prepare for a world where creative thinking is more important than ever before. ukryj opis
