Adding another article to my previous post on education and technology. This time the focus is on education and play. Very interesting. Teaser: "Do we need more people who are good at memorising answers to questions and feeding them back? Who dutifully do what they are told, no questions asked? Schools were designed to teach people to do those things, and they are pretty good at it. Or do we need more people who ask new questions and find new answers, think critically and creatively, innovate and take initiative, and know how to learn on the job, under their own steam?" aeonmagazine/being-human/children-today-are-suffering-a-severe-deficit-of-play/
