Our last stop of the day was in Rishon Le'Tzion at Scientific Educational Systems - a small, privately owned company that focuses on developing training systems, clickers, sensors, and, perhaps what was most interesting to our group, learning environments that permit young children to explore and to construct their own understandings about a wide assortment of subjects.
It had been a long day (with lots of food!) and we were getting tired, but it was very interesting to us to see how within one company there was a department that dealt with building materials designed for highly structured training, and another that attempted to construct environments for an open-ended examination of a child's environment.
