The perfect illustration

My brain was flying in all directions when I watched this video, via npr.



Educationally, this video makes a clear case for:


  • Project-based education
  • Early Childhood Education
  • Inquiry-based education
  • tinkering
  • exploration
  • open-ended materials
  • spending less of an educational budget on kits and worksheets
  • upcycling
  • the valuable role of adult facilitation
  • why adults should support children instead of doing things for them
  • why its never too early to try some science experiments
...

Go ahead, add to the list!
