Summary

The Ideal Learning Environment was a project where we were to design a learning environment based on our philsophy and research. We were to design it as if there were no obstacles to our plan. We then were to post our description, philsosphy, budget, accompanying lesson plan and our resources. I based my philsophy on prior research I did for an earlier project, then did further research to strengthen my positions. 

All of the elements of the project required extensive research and needed to align together in order for the environment to be successful. Research also needed to go into appropriate pricing in order to create a realistic budget. Finally, we utilized technology to enhance the project. We used a VOKI to add an engaging introduction to the website. We also utilized an application titled Floor Planner, which allowed for us to illustrate our ideal learning environment.
