At first sight, I was utterly dumbfounded at the brilliance of Caine's Arcade. What an incredible story this is! Caine is one genius of a kid! Questions that came to my mind while watching: How is it that this filmmaker was his first customer?? Who are the folks that walked by and didn't want to humor him and play? Can my kids create something like this? What can we as educators learn from Caine? Then when I started to process it more, I came to the realization that ALL children are capable of what Caine created, that is, if we help to create structures and opportunities for kids to create! What are those structures and how can we bring them to our classrooms PRONTO?
What are your thoughts?
