Playful Learning
May 30, 2011
It’s better to understand something than to memorize something.
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist and author
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, American astrophysicist and author
"When a child is learning through play she gets to explore — there isn't a predetermined end product. She has an idea or notion of a direction she would like to pursue and she is free, within broad limits, to do so. Her motivation comes from within herself as she interacts with the possibilities in the environment.
"Administrators responsible for training staff often find themselves trying to motivate the staff members to learn what has been predetermined that they must learn. But if you want people to stay excited about their jobs, there has to be some opportunity for them to explore, to be decision makers, to say,
"This is what I want to do next." That's playful in the very best sense. Children become active learners through play; and so do adults."

Thanks alot for remembering me with copies of echange issues. Im one of the people who deal with children in my profession. So the issues being sent to me are of vital imporatnce in changing my life and those children I work with day to day. Some of the issues have really helped me addressing problems right from my family, to the work place, and neighbouring families. So I just want to encourage you to keep on developing more of these issues and distribute them all over the world. There are some people that dont even know that these issues exist. This is a very commendable program, please, keep it up.
