How to almost Learn Anything class from MIT.
Whats the big idea from IBM.
"As an educator and friend of children I saw new opportunities for children to understand, to love, and to use ideas that had previously been inaccessible to them" - Seymour Papert, author of Mindstorms: Children, Computers and Powerful ideas.
This idea of accessiblity is also echoed in Russell Kirsch's - "I guess, I’ve always believed that nothing is withheld from us what we have conceived to do. Most people think the opposite – that all things are withheld from them which they have conceived to do and they end up doing nothing."
When or how do kids learn conservation, transitivity and spatial coordinates?
Transitional momeny in learning
1. The right question at the right time can move children to peaks in their thinking.
2. Children can raise the right question for themselves if the setting is right.
