FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 17, 2020
ITHACA, NEW YORK - Photosynthesis Productions offered a FREE rental of their educational documentary RE:Thinking (trailer) for the next month in observance of the coronavirus crisis. This film follows the work of Drs. Derek and Laura Cabrera and the Cabrera Research Lab in three separate K-12 schools. The focus in those schools was to teach the students, educators, and administrators content mastery using systems thinking and mapping and developing in each of them deep capabilities in metacognition and systems thinking. Dr. Laura Cabrera is quoted in the film as saying, "If you can give students the gift of knowing how they come to know things, it makes knowing anything possible. It makes ideas that can change everything possible."
For the next month you can watch this full-length documentary, that explores how to teach kids not just what to think but how to think, for free. Dr. Derek Cabrera applauded Photosynthesis Productions' decision to release the movie for free while we all try to evade the creeping boredom of self-isolation, “We applaud the producers for making this freely available during these trying times. Take this opportunity to see this excellent documentary and to share it with your friends, teachers, students, and parents."
