But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.\u201d Why do we assume, though, that adults don\u2019t also learn from play? In this episode, I assert that \u201cserious learning\u201d happens through play at any age, and that a playful approach to classes, professions, and identity has benefits that too often get ignored in academia.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, school is often anything but playful. Between compulsory attendance, state-mandated testing, and the regimented routine of bell schedules, students are often expected to conform and comply, rather than to improvise and experiment. It seems there should be a way to incorporate play into education, making school something that students enjoy, look forward to, and find productive.<\/p>\n<p>Adeline Koh writes that \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hybridpedagogy.com\/journal\/political-power-of-play\/\" target=\"_blank\">play is serious business<\/a>,\u201d and this episode explores that assertion and tests the ways in which it can be applied to today\u2019s educational environments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I saw this tweet&#8230; &nbsp; An iBeacon Scavenger Hunt for Your Event?
