Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play (FBG)
Faculty Book Group | Fall 2019 | Meeting 1
More Details
* NOTE: The book group has reached maximum capacity. Please email Sheila Otto if you wish to be placed on the waiting list. *
The publisher’s website describes the book as follows:
“To thrive in today's fast-changing world, people of all ages must learn to think and act creatively—and the best way to do that is by focusing more on imagining, creating, playing, sharing, and reflecting, just as children do in traditional kindergartens. Drawing on experiences from more than thirty years at MIT's Media Lab, Resnick discusses new technologies and strategies for engaging young people in creative learning experiences.”
This book group will be facilitated by Lando Carter and will meet three times:
October 1, 8, and 22
11:30-12:30
LT&ITC, Library 348
Each participant will be provided with a copy of the book in advance of the first meeting.
Participation is limited; if you are interested in joining the group, please register as soon as possible.
If you have questions, contact Sheila Otto at Sheila.Otto@mtsu.edu.
