OL5057 Application: The Binder Challenge
���I���ve ceased defending that which has already been proven. Instead of spending energy on feeble efforts to prove, I put this same energy into connecting people with the evidence��� (Lisa Murphy). The Binder Challenge (in the textbook���s Introduction) is your chance to gather evidence that supports play, or as the author states ���from this point forward every time you find something that supports a hands-on, play based, relationship-based, child-centered, developmentally appropriate, early childhood environment, copy it and put it in your binder.���
As you complete this course with us, create your binder. To meet this requirement, follow the author���s directions on page two of the course text, and start collecting evidence, such as:
��� Articles
��� Letters to the editor
��� Photographs of playful signs at parks
��� Book titles
��� Workshop notes/handouts
��� Play activities
��� Play recipes
��� Blog posts
��� Links to play websites
��� Research studies
��� Scholarly papers that you/others wrote
��� Include in your binder anything that (from the text) reinforces and supports the fact that this [play] mindset and approach is not new, reminds naysayers that this is not simply our personal preference, and supports the fact that this is not what we ���like��� or what we ���want��� but is actuality supported by the literature, data, science, and experience
Your binder can be electronic, paper, or a combination. In Module 2, you will be asked to provide pictures/screenshots or a link to your binder.
