This is something that Tagore wanted when he was working for his ideals in the 1920s. Nearly 100 years later, lots of the education around the world is still indoors. If so much has been proven about hands on learning, why do we shift more and more away from hands on learning, into just staring at screens all day while we're at school?]]> 2016-09-01 19:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bcalderone4/n7tfpw6c145k/wish/121198586 https://padlet.com/bcalderone4/n7tfpw6c145k/wish/121198591 -In ancient rome most people were taught by their parents
