Cute is a Four Letter Word (video)
In 1996 a fantastic editorial by Mary Renck Jalongo entitled, Why cute is STILL a four letter word appeared in Early Childhood Education Journal Vol 24 Issue 2. I have a few copies of copies of copies of old copies but can't find an online link. So until we scan it into the resources for you, watch this 17 minute TedTalk with Sarah Curtis! Cheers! #art #creativity #play #teaching #learning
How Creativity Flourishes Through Play & Why It Matters
I've included this resource mainly for the image you'll see when you click the link (although it's not an off-base blog post by any means!) I wanted you to see Mitch Resnick's Creative Learning Spiral without (full disclosure: forgive me) all of the MIT tech speak, including descriptions of the technologies he's created, that usually fill the articles that contain the image. I love this image. I also believe when children are playing they tap into this cycle of creativity without needing to scratch any crickets. #play #DAP #creativity
