News And Features From Mtsu

In this episode, we discuss how the concepts of create and play are important for our children to develop in order to be successful not only in subject areas when they return to school but also as working citizens in the 21st-century global economy. Many of us wonder if problem-solving and creativity are important for us to implement in our own home classrooms. Dr. Lando Carter says the answer is yes! No matter if your child seems to be “born to be creative” or not, this episode discusses how we can maintain structure for our students at home while also creating space for the creative mindset: collaboration, fusion, slow down, and walking alongside learners. The “Classroom in Your Living Room” podcast series is produced by the Center for Educational Media at MTSU.
