More on the global rise in myopia (short-sightedness). Phone-based childhood is a major contributor--more from the loss of time outdoors. Giving kids more recess and outdoor playtime would greatly reduce the global elongation of young eyeballs telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/1…

Mariana from @developingmind3 discusses the importance of learning through play and the use of loose parts in the classroom. She explains all of the benefits children and educators receive when incorporating play into their setting. bit.ly/36M62Ak
@LEGOfoundation I run a play based learning program for my daughter and friends. I’ve been developing curriculum for years and want to show the world that high academic achievement can happen through play not only in the early years. I’d love to contribute to future studies

Last week I reported on a study that found play is so powerful, it can close the achievement gap between young children. Later today, join me and several experts on this topic as we talk more about how play can impact student well-being and learning.
TODAY! In partnership with @unruly_studios, we're hosting a virtual panel at 5pm ET to discuss how play in the classroom can empower students. Register now and join @jackiemader from @hechingerreport and experts @SordenEffect @admillner @CohenPerkins: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
@jackiemader Loved the article. I’d love to hear more about it. Please keep me posted. I’d also like to contribute with my experience of creating a play based setting for children ages 3-7 as a homeschool project. You can find me on Instagram Instagram.com/developing.min…
