California school integrates play with learning | PBS NewsHour

California school integrates play with learning | PBS NewsHour: "These students have been taking part in a new experiment in educational innovation known as the PlayMaker School. PlayMaker is, thus far, only for sixth graders who attend the private K-12 New Roads school in Santa Monica, California. You won’t find desks, seating charts or even a normal grading system in their classroom.

Lessons often end up looking like this one, which, believe it or not, is an introduction to physics.

Nolan Windham and his classmates are playing a video game called Aero, wearing homemade wings which use repurposed controllers from a Nintendo Wii."
