Mitchel ResnickMIT Press Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play

Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity Through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play I met with Mitch Resnick while visiting the MIT Media Lab in October 2008. This inspiring book relates the development of (and children's creative uses of) Scratch, LEGO MINDSTORMS and LEGO WeDo - all of which originated in the Lifelong Kindergarten Group at MIT. This is STEM education at its very best! Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity Through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play

I read this, then read it again straight after. If you're interested in how children learn, both generally and particularly through coding, this is an exceptional read.

Giusto due citazioni per stimolare la curiosità verso il libro, lettura fondamentale per ogni educatore, insegnante, changemaker nell'ambito education:An investment in interest always pays off with the best knowledge.Ee need to make the rest of school (indeed, the rest of life) more like kindergarten.

As the father of Scratch and a co-founder of Computer Clubhouse, Mitchel Resnick reflects his experience in those two projects. The spiral process of image, create, play, share and reflect is illustrated using the 4P approach. No matter parents and educators, students and learners, or designers and developers, everyone can learn something from reading this book.Definitely the reading is rewarding. It is a great book!

Das Buch ist sehr inspirierend. Anstatt den Fokus auf das Programmieren zu legen, hebt es die Bedeutung der Kreativität hervor. Das zentrale Thema ist das Arbeiten an Projekten, zu welchen man Leidenschaft empfindet, kollaborativ und auf der Augenhöhe mit Peers. Für mich war nach dem Lesen des Buches der Unterschied von Scratch und anderen Codinginitiativen klarer. Also eine ausgesprochene Empfehlung!
