	That's Edutainment!
		Edutainment is a great way to sneak old-fashioned, unstructured children's play under the noses of parents who are only just beginning to understand its importance.
		Children's edutainment pleases parents who want to give children free play or clean time, but who are worried about letting their children play, even in their own backyards, for fear of abduction.
		Edutainment needs to be designed from an understanding of child development and approached "through the eyes of the child," with sensitivity to a child's scale and how they see, interpret and use space and objects.

	Marc Accetta Blog: Edutainment as a Learning Process
		Edutainment, or educational entertainment, is entertainment that is intended and specifically designed to educate as well as amuse and entertain.
		Whether an attempt at edutainment is successful or not, by its very nature, is determined by where the learning process becomes fun and entertaining, and that the teachers or speakers educate an audience in a manner which is both engaging and amusing to those doing the learning.
		The edutainment approach emphasizes fun and enjoyment, with the idea that we are so used to flashy, polished entertainment venues like movie theatres and theme parks that we demand similar experiences at science centers and museums.

		The best "edutainment games" that I have found and played were developed by Cryo Interactive Entertainment and published by Cryo in conjunction with Reunion des Musees Nationaux, Canal+ Multimedia.
		A large enough population of mature Europeans evidently like adventure games and have a tolerance for extending their cerebral energies beyond the plot, mystery and logical thought processes of the game itself and into the world of educational refreshment and learning that is centered on important cultural times and events of the past.

	That's Edutainment
		Though the edutainment frenzy has escalated of late, the concept is not new, and as the assortment of articles collected here makes clear, the implications have been debated for decades.
		Nothing makes school more mysterious, meaningless, baffling, and terrifying to a child than constantly hearing adults tell him things as if they were simple, self-evident, natural, and logical, when in fact they are quite the reverse—arbitrary, contradictory, obscure, and often absurd, flying directly in the face of a child’s common sense.
		Holt’s approach contradicted what has become one of the edutainment industry’s most insistent claims—that “having it all drilled in” at those crucial stages in early development can fix a baby for adult brilliance as effectively as any more active approach.
