How Can We Create Credibility For Informal Learning? - | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it
Remember playing when you were younger? If you weren’t in class or doing homework, you were likely playing. So what is “playing?”

As I remember, playing meant doing what I was interested in. Playing was taking my bicycle apart, putting Legos together, and learning as many facts about cars as I could. I knew every car’s 0-60 acceleration time and horsepower, by reading every car magazine and online blog. I used to walk around explaining how the aerodynamics on a Saleen S7 creates so much downforce that in theory, it could drive upside down in a tunnel. Then I tested the theory with my hot wheels; seemed to work. My passion for cars fueled innovative ideas – I remember gluing magnets to my hot wheels, with the opposing forces on the front and rear end of the cars to help them avoid accidents.
