Goal 7: Play and Have Fun!
How much I need to reflect on this goal!! Because I'm used to asking my kids to shut up and sit down many times during the day. Of course, I believe that it is something necessary from time to time because there are activities that must be done in a quiet environment, and besides, kids need to develop a sense of respect.
I have to admit that I don't play on a regular basis, maybe because I don't like games that much, but it is true it will benefit my students enormously. What I do though is carry out activities in which they act, move, and I can see how much fun they get out of that.
And yes...it's true, these learners of today are so different from the ones of some years ago, me included. Nowadays, knowledge is constructed by making connections, by doing, by sharing. So...what am I waiting for?
Tomorrow I go back to school, no kids yet, but it'll be a great chance to share everything I've learnt in these amazing personal learning networks and the 30 goals!
