Stuart Brown’s Ted Talk on the merits of play is – to say the least – ground-breaking. Not only does he advocate for play’s rightful place in the learning and modeling process, but the facts he shares about play’s place beyond these domains are as startling as they are exciting.
The next time you feel a bit guilty, or doubtful, or inappropriate for being “too playful” with your students, your employees, your friends, or someone you just met, STOP!
Instead, make better use of your time and energy and re-watch this video, or read his book, or go out and play some more!
definately side with Stuart’s findings on this topic, especially play being so important to our survival
I know in my job, the big thing that keeps me from going crazy from seeing alot of tragedies… is definately play, whether being active with hockey or football or tuning my thoughts into all the highs and success’s that go in part with being a canuck fan
;-D
