Editor's Notes
- Lots of the stuff is cool, fun, exciting, highly motivating, what ever adjective you choose. But… what educational purpose is it serving?
- Pays to have a plan. Plan A, B & C are even better. Purposeful Relevant
- Not sure if you’re coming or going? So much out there? Not sure what to do? Mixed messages. Limits/Brick Walls
- There’s so much available and so much happening so fast. Huge expectation. Overwhelming for everyone. Constant change. Flit from one thing to the next.
- Sometimes you’ve just gotta sit down & play. Kids & adults. e.g. of sandpit time in my class. Sandpit time for myself.
