Innovative learning process, through play
March 5, 2010 10:40 AM   Subscribe

Evan Gardner is a learning technology innovator who developed the language fluency game, "Where Are Your Keys?" Both Evan and his partner Willem Larsen are true innovators and the WAYK game has an unbelievable potential to bring play back into learning, can realize the tremendous opportunity to save languages, and has real potential for changing the world.

These guys have a sincere, deep, palpable passion and a completely new, creative approach for teaching language and for using that approach to at least save a glimpse of the thousands of cultures that are dying out. Check out their Work and then go to the TED nomination page and get them the recognition on the world stage that they deserve.

This post was deleted for the following reason: You're tweeting about these guys a bunch and describe them as friends; this feel really uncomfortably into not-okay self-link/friend-link territory, and using mefi to try and pump up someone's nomination stuff is also not an okay use of the front page. -- cortex -- jessamyn



 
I'd like to see something like this incorporated into the traditional language learning process used by academic institutions.

For those of you that are twitter fanatics, the WAYK guys are fairly social media savvy... they post as @fluencyEvan and @fluencygame
