Kindergartens are becoming more like the rest of school. We need exactly the opposite: the rest of school -- indeed, the rest of life -- needs to become more like kindergarten. In this presentation, I'll discuss and demonstrate how new technologies can help extend kindergarten-style learning to people of all ages, enabling everyone to learn through designing, playing, and sharing. I will focus especially on our experiences with Scratch, an online community in which people program and share interactive stories, games, animations, and simulations -- -- and, in the process, learn to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively. Our ultimate goal is a world full of playfully creative people who are constantly designing new opportunities for themselves and their communities. |
