Here is what MIND Research Institute colleagues have been reading recently and learning on the topics of education, math, games and learning.
This month, it seems like everyone is talking about the app Pokémon Go. Kids and kids-at-heart are taking to the neighborhood parks and shopping centers in droves. What can educators and game designers learn from the success of this game?
Educators are defining what learning looks like in the classroom.
"Moving toward classrooms that promote growth mindsets is not about lowering the bar, in fact, classrooms that are successfully moving in this direction are expecting much more of their students…" -Mark Chubb
What does it mean to integrate math into real world problems? Is math education getting better? These are some of the tough questions reporters and educators are asking.
"Beautiful mathematic explanations are not only for our pleasure, they also change our vision of the world." - Cédric Villani
