With their boundless curiosity, fertile imagination, and natural mastery of the art of self-directed learning, children have much to teach adults about creativity and innovation. That’s perhaps even more true with today’s “digital natives,” says developmental psychologist Edith Ackermann, whose work explores—and exploits—the intersections of play, learning, design, and technology. An educator and researcher, Ackermann has consulted for LEGO and the LEGO Learning Institute for more than 20 years and worked under the direction of Jean Piaget, the Swiss psychologist renowned for his studies on children at play, at the Centre International d’Epistémologie Génétique. She has taught at Harvard, MIT, and other universities.

Playful Inventions and Explorations: What’s to Be Learned from Kids?
LOOOOOOL listen to 3:20 very carefully.
This is what i think youtube was really meant to be, a place for showing people around the world things like this. A place to feed peoples creativity, share interesting things around the world in video form. Rather than just videos of people doing stupid stuff.
@balthierg if you think every one on you tube is using it to do "stupid stuff",
then please take a look at youtube.com/user/pogobat
@MrSkuddles well no i dont think everyone is doing stupid stuff on youtube. There are lots of very creative videos. But you cant deny that it seems youtube is the place to go to find videos of someone jumping into a pool from their roof.
@balthierg ya there is a large group of videos on here of people just trying to become the next "Jackass"
Wonder Pets is the only thing kids need to know.
@balthierg About 85% of youtube videos violate some kind of copyright too I'm sure.
that's hilarious and sad. this is my fifth time watching this whole thing. it is damn interesting..
thanks for sharing "walkerartcenter"
Thank you for this. It's so important to develope into the unigue individual that we all are if we just get the chance to play and discover instead of being controlled and subpressed.
There is one thing I learned in the last few years I worked with children, that is: NEVER TEACH A CHILD…! Because with everything you (try to…) teach a child, it looses a natural given essential and crucial part of its INTUITION, that is essential for lifetime, to find its way through life and through the world… prevent it from danger, yes, ok! and tell him or her, what you feel or how you feel… (children… and not only THEM… need to know, what is going on in your mind…they need to know, how you feel… they need safety in certainty…)… and most of all… be there for them, when they need you…! (in a (preferably) sensitive, empathetic way… by listening (carefully), what they say, by coming along with them, when they need you…etc.) …but NEVER TEACH THEM… this is all I have to say… (my (small) contribution to this video… 🙂 )
