When teaching restrains discovery

Great read regarding how to introduce new ideas, toys, concepts, games and just about anything to children (and adults) in the most effective manner to encourage exploration and innovation.

When the apparently knowledgeable teachers in the experiments provide a seemingly complete lesson about the toy, the children deduce that there is a no more to learn. If the lesson is interrupted, or if the instructor seems like a novice, the child deduces that there is more to discover.
