The missing ingredient in how we learn

From TED Ed.

Explore the benefits and challenges of using self-directed play-based learning models in schools.

Before the last few centuries, children around the world spent most of their time learning through play: observing and mimicking adults, roaming their surroundings, and sharing what they learned with friends and family. Many communities and educators still believe play is one of the best teachers we have. Explore the benefits and challenges of using self-directed play-based learning in schools.

Directed by Hernando Bahamon, Vicente Numpaque.
