2. Affordances of the room
• Space to move
• Flexible design
• Digital resources &
environments on hand
Take away: you must change your pedagogy for these
affordances to be maximised
3. Primordial learning spaces
• Camp Fire
• Watering Hole
• Cave
Take away: your classroom is not one homogenous space.
Imperative to consider activities that purposefully use this
space.
4. Inquiry learning models
Take away: inquiry learning tends to utilise individual
work in ‘the cave’. PBL can guide your adoption of
collaborative learning tasks.
• Inquiry learning
(research based)
• Project based learning
(‘PBL’) offers a different
pedagogical direction
5. Final thoughts
Utilise group stations
Organically draw on technologies –
physical & digital
