What he implemented in his classroom?
John Hunter had this superintendent that was a very modern, technology savoy person who had this older table. The table belonged to the superintendent's grandfather. She recalled the table as the wisdom table, because as growing up the superintendent remembered many wisdom discussed over that table. John took this into play as an educator and linked it to empty space. How do we fill the empty space? He wanted the students to create a meaning out of their own understanding. His mother was a teacher and his inspiration, as he also taught his daughter. With this said, many people interact and convey among others. So he came up with this game that started out as a piece of plywood that evolved into a much larger 4D display. The display included countries, ground, underground sea level, atmosphere, etc. John wanted the children to solve problems he included under the categories in social, economically, etc. It to let the children learn with their bodies and by their own experiences to interact with others to create their own solutions. His idea was to let the children use their mind and creativity. I really enjoyed his preference of teaching that lets the students interact with their peers, and how they can make up their own minds.
