I was reading Dewey's Experience & Education while traveling in Europe. And this read was immediately preceded by re-reading Watership Down. The two fit rather nicely together - rabbits all learning through their experience of finding a new place to live. There are many educators who seem to be returning to Dewey's statements - and I think they are right to do so. Bruce Hammonds writes a nice summary. And then this video surfaced:
I do enjoy these old videos. Not so much for the content necessarily. I find them interesting propaganda of the past that often never really succeeded (sometimes for good reason).
