so, the only question really is - are we listening? . .
![]() The Icelandic Forestry Service is giving lessons in tree hugging, literally, and we are here for it.
Al Cannistra's insight:
i guess it is fairly easy to find a tree... might be hard to get your arms around some of them - maybe not so much with "city trees"... . .
![]() Researchers are predicting a massive drop in carbon emissions this year, levels last experienced around World War II.
Al Cannistra's insight:
a lesson to be learned - and do we listen? . .
![]() One of the biggest problems facing all life on Earth right now is human-caused climate change, but there's a problem in how we relate to it: The scale and tempo are different from the human one.
Al Cannistra's insight:

Al Cannistra's insight:
Can it be harnessed? . .
![]() Turns out, we use a lot of natural processes—bees to pollinate, rivers to irrigate crops, reefs to act as flood protection. When they’re gone, it’s going to get expensive.

![]() The answer to empowering our learners by giving them purpose and inspiring their passion may be right under our noses. In play, one group of children may use dozens of LEGO pieces to recreate the excavator they found fascinating on their neighborhood walk, while another group of students uses Minecraft to create a fireworks display in honor of the Chinese New Year. Taken together, students learn the science and engineering behind simple machines or the importance of cultural practices in social studies, while learning how to collaborate with others and create something better together. In each instance, students use elements of design thinking to cocreate and problem solve, engaging in thoughtful dialogue and continuous iteration. This play can be made into so much more if educators guide students by demonstrating the utility of the content they're learning and inviting students into the process of meaning making.
