Drs. Ronald Beghetto, Elisabeth McClure and Stuart MacAlpine talk about their work with the LEGO foundation, specifically on McClure and MacAlpine’s current project of learning through play and technology. Having served as a creativity advisor for LEGO Foundation, Beghetto engages in a conversation with them about creativity and the role it has in learning through play.
Ronald Beghetto discusses play and technology, as well as creativity with Elisabeth McClure and Stuart MacAlpine from LEGO Foundation. McClure and MacAlpine explain how learning through play includes cognitive and social emotional learning, and that learning experiences which include play lead to deeper learning for everyone; from babies and toddlers through adulthood. McClure and MacAlpine imagine a future where children and adults feel empowered to make and produce technology rather than just users of technology, with the agency to solve the problems in meaningful ways, to create a sustainable and more humane future.
