But…will they think it’s too elementary? Or is it just a switch in mindset? The benefits of play are huge and just might be worth a little discomfort and struggle. #EduSkyChat

It does look different for older learners. The way they engage with tools, strategies, or each other shifts as they grow. Many aren’t used to being invited to play in typical learning environments, so it can take time to feel safe enough to lean in. #EduSkyChat

A2: Yes...so much of this! Unstructured doesn’t mean unintentional. But when we’re used to controlling outcomes, it can feel unsettling to loosen the grip. Play asks us to trust the process, and that can be hard when stakes feel high.
