Raise your hand if you've got a child's shelter project, Martinmas lantern, or first-grade knitting project stored away on a shelf in the garage! This New York Times article points out the attachment that many people have with objects they have made with their own hands. Waldorf parents and students know this all too well! "This is because we often see the things we make as part of our identities, said Dr. Norton, who has conducted research on how people come to value objects. Our creations help us 'feel a sense of confidence and a sense of mastery that is really hard to get sometimes in other places,' he added." https://lnkd.in/gHeVru25

It wasn't that long ago that educators faced the challenge of how to incorporate technology into classrooms. In those days, Waldorf schools were the minority voices that bucked the trend, prioritizing relationship and human interaction. Today, the pendulum is swinging in the other direction. Many classrooms are overrun with technology, and parents and teachers are seeking solutions for meaningful educational experiences that are enhanced by technology--not dictated by it. Waldorf educators have an opportunity to lead the way and show how to use technology holistically, helping children develop healthy tech habits. "It’s not conclusive that tech, as opposed to hard-copy materials, improves educational outcomes. And sometimes devices or programs simply don’t function the way they’re supposed to." https://lnkd.in/g6HDTwWn #waldorf #waldorfeducation #edtech
