I recently reviewed her book, Playful Learning, over at The Curriculum Choice and I encourage you to pop over there and read more about this wonderful resource that you can use with all ages, all styles of learners, and keep as an inspiration reference in your learning book library.
Mariah is now offering online classes which she calls Playful Learning Ecademy. I am signed up with my son to take the next course which is Through the Lens. This course will use digital photography to inspire writing and art.
There will be four weekly classes which you can work through at your own pace. She will email you a video to explain the week's suggested activities and then you are free to complete the assignment as you have time with your children.
She suggests this course for children ages six through twelve (along with their grown-ups). My son is a little older than the age range but we thought it would be fun to test out this course and see how it inspires us in our outdoor time.
In order to take the course you need a digital camera, a way to print photos, and a blank journal. There is also the opportunity to share your work and to interact with other eCourse participants.
It starts July 18 and ends August 8, 2012.
Cost: $68.00.
Would you like to have the opportunity to join the class? I am going to keep it simple.
