The Freinet printing press is an educational tool developed by French educator Célestin Freinet in the early 20th century. It allows students to create printed materials, such as books and posters, using a simple, hands-on approach. This method encourages creativity and collaboration among students while enhancing their literacy skills. Freinet's approach emphasizes the importance of experiential learning, where students engage in real-world tasks. The printing press serves as a medium for students to express their ideas and share their work with others, fostering a sense of community and ownership in their learning process.
