Lesson Outline
We know that learning can happen anywhere. In these lessons, we explore and design the perfect place for learning, whether at school or at home. Traditional classrooms were designed for a specific model of education. The front-facing rows of individual students are familiar to us and represent a classroom design that suits some forms of explicit instruction. But classrooms can be redesigned to open or more opportunities for learning. Learning doesn't have to happen in the classroom either: learners can design their ideal learning places outside of schools so that learning can occur anywhere, and at any time.
Introduction: Students read about learning spaces
Discussion: Students discuss and ask questions about their ideal home learning place
Design: Students create a labelled diagram or drawing of their ideal place
