Liberating Classrooms through Technology Choice Ira David Socol

The Technologies of School
4. ICT (delivery and communication)
3. The Spatial Environment
2. The division of students (by age) and content (by subject)
1. Time (division into “learning time” and “not”

What does the shape of your classroom do?

Spatial choices make “technology” choices both possible and relevant.

Space and “technology” should encourage the crossing of boundaries?

Eliminating artificial divides between “learning spaces” and being “out of school.”

Are you creating lecture halls or campfires?

Places for sharing or for isolation?

Are you allowing learners to retreat to caves to consider and consolidate learning?

Are you allowing watering holes where humans gather for communion?

Are the streets of your Academical Village alive?

Do learners leave their marks everywhere?

Does choice enable comfort in every learner?
