Personalize Learning: Conversations about Play-based Learning

Personalize Learning: Conversations about Play-based Learning | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
Enjoy the insightful and playful conversations in the archive of the 3/9/15 #plearnchat on Play-based learning.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:

Purposeful play should be the central learning experience in early learning classrooms. It is a natural way of learning that supports creativity and imagination. But why should play be limited to primary classrooms only? It doesn't matter what age we are; we all like to play. 

This is Trend #7 in the 10 Trends to Personalize Learning in 2015. The focus of the conversations was around the big question.

Play-Based Personalized Learning: The Walker Learning Approach | Personalize Learning (#plearnchat) | Scoop.it
The Walker Learning Approach is an exciting and refreshing philosophy that places the child at the center and ensure authentic personalized learning.
Kathleen McClaskey's insight:
The Walker Learning Approach has been developed over twenty years using an action research model. The Walker Learning Approach is the first pedagogy to be designed for Australian schools, successfully providing teaching and learning that
  • personalizes and engages learners in active learning alongside explicit and formalized instruction.
  • is culturally and developmentally appropriate across all demographic regions of the country, from remote indigenous communities to elite independent schools.

The pedagogical platform places the child at the center and uses developmental psychology, biology, and neurology alongside cultural and environmental influences as the basis for practical application across the Australian setting.
