A proposta é tão completa em sua descrição e intenção, tão cheia de planejamento e perspectivas, tão atenciosa à necessidade e respeito individual que chego a duvidar da sua replicabilidade (conceitual) no desenvolvimento educacional/cultural de nossa sociedade.

A proposta é tão completa em sua descrição e intenção, tão cheia de planejamento e perspectivas, tão atenciosa à necessidade e respeito individual que chego a duvidar da sua replicabilidade (conceitual) no desenvolvimento educacional/cultural de nossa sociedade. Não tenho dúvidas que trata-se de um dos melhores "modelos" expostos de abordagem educacional. Os conceitos de letramento tecnológico/digital, formação sistêmica e princípios de games são a base desta proposta. A leitura é fundamental para quem pensa em inovar na prática pedagógica e de planejamento.
