Learning in Progress

Image by James Allen Next week is our 2nd annual #KyGoPlay challenge. To participate, all people have to do is pledge to play for one hour .  It could be to play to learn or to take time out to play to give yourself as break - and you only have to do it for 1 hour total.   The idea to encourage teachers to play to learn and to try to create some awareness about the benefits of playing came from a #KyEdChat side discussion one night with James Allen , Marty Park and Chris Walsh .  The discussion got James and I moving and before long we had some research and an idea.  Finding time to play to learn and share with others isn't always easy when you're teaching all day and managing an after school life.  But the benefits can be tremendous.  To try to further highlight those benefits, James and I hosted a session at our KLA/KASL Fall conference that just provided librarians with the chance to play.  We hauled in a green screen, Makey-Makey, Google Cardboard, Littlebits
