John Connell referred to this TED Talk in his keynote address today athe Digital Fair run by the Australian College of Educators. I’ll post more about that later tonight hopefully.
On the TED site it says this about the talk by Stuart Brown;
A pioneer in research on play, Dr. Stuart Brown says humor, games, roughhousing, flirtation and fantasy are more than just fun. Plenty of play in childhood makes for happy, smart adults — and keeping it up can make us smarter at any age.
There are some wonderful scenes involving a polar bear and and a tethered husky. I’m sure you’ll be moved.
Enjoy your weekend. I certainly intend to! Last one before a return to work on Monday.
