Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play Audiobook (Free)

In kindergartens these days, children spend more time with math worksheets and phonics flashcards than building blocks and finger paint. Kindergarten is now more like the others of school. In Lifelong Kindergarten, learning expert Mitchel Resnick argues for exactly the opposite: the others of school (even the others of life) should be more like kindergarten. To prosper in the current fast-changing world, people of all ages must learn to think and work creatively-and the best way to do that can be by about Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Imagination through Projects, Interest, Peers, and Play concentrating even more on imagining, creating, playing, posting, and reflecting, just as children perform in traditional kindergartens.

Drawing on experiences from a lot more than 30 years at MIT’s Mass media Lab, Resnick talks about new systems and strategies for engaging young people in creative learning encounters. He tells stories of how children are programming their own games, stories, and inventions (for example, a diary protection system, created with a twelve-year-old woman), and collaborating through remixing, crowdsourcing, and large-scale group projects. By providing teenagers with possibilities to focus on projects, based on their passions, in collaboration with peers, in a playful heart, we are able to help them plan a global where creative thinking is more essential than previously.
