A Prototype Testbed for Early Years Education in the mid 21st century.
‘Frameworks’ is a prototype methodology realised in a simple tool. Designed to be minimal and to provide a simple way to model your/their/my thinking and understanding in the form of simple graphical models. Models which can be shared with others and analysed by teachers*.
It is a way of information modelling. It is a way for structured thinking. Models as Interfaces to Thinking and Understanding. A methodology for reducing scale and complexity to manageable proportions. A tool for independent thinking and the visual modelling and representation and sharing of thinking and understanding.
