The general theme is that children playing never really changes. So we need to capitalise on that in education to change. There has been a lot of changes recently to what we teach, so now teachers need to catch up to change the way we teach.
Yes, education needs to change as a whole – but that will take years. In the meantime, teachers can make small changese in the classroom to make huge impact on students and their desire to create.
