- 4. Experiences with Learning Design... Do some learning spaces at your school influence student engagement more than others? Why?
- 5. Experiences with Learning Design... Have different learning spaces changed relationships between teacher and student? How?
- 6. Experiences with Learning Design... What are your experiences with digital technologies within these learning spaces?
- 7. Digital Technologies (P-8) A subject that aims to provide students with practical opportunities to use design thinking, computational thinking and information systems knowledge to develop innovative solutions and knowledge addressing contemporary challenges.

- 15. Physical Space Setup: Layout and Use of Space Furniture Choices Colour Selections Lighting Nature Print and Design Materials Organisation of materials Student Buy-In
- 16. Layout and Use of Space When designing any space, you must look at the available size and how to best maximize that area.
- 17. Furniture Choices Deciding on furniture that will best accommodate is key. It is important to have maximal floor space and ample seating. Students need comfortable options but also need choice - furniture does not need to be uniform. Norvanivel Woods Furniture Karton Group
- 18. Colour Selections Avoiding bright colours and busy patterns is one of the best ways to make this a brain-friendly learning space. Research shows that more monochromatic and muted colour schemes work best.
- 19. Lighting Allowing natural light to be the main source is ideal. However, incandescent lighting is preferred over fluorescent lighting if natural not available.
- 20. Nature Adding plant life into a space not only warms the environment and adds oxygen, but also gives students the opportunity to have an authentic classroom job.
- 21. Print and Design Materials Lower any posters on the walls to be at eye level of the learner, specifically materials that are meant to be a resource for learning. Keep print to a minimum - less is more.
- 22. Organisation of Materials A learning space for students - not a storage space for teachers! Make materials easily accessible to students and have a small, moveable ‘teacher space’ if needed.
- 23. Student Buy-In ● Allow movement and collaboration ● Be prepared for some misuse ● Get community buy-in
- 26. VLS Guidelines: • How are these spaces being used? • Where is data stored? • Who has access? How do they receive access? • Digital Citizenship. • Appropriate commenting. • Mobile learning. • Sharing capabilities. • Who are students talking to? • What is the purpose?

Editor's Notes
- One person from each group create new group and share.
- Jemima Saunders’ - reference her as creator of these next four slides. Curriculum Context - Teaching and Learning Principles Link to DT Curriculum - we need spaces that allow for student centred learning and opportunities.
- Key pedagogical approaches - a range of pedagogies need to be explored in a flexible learning space. These pedagogies will target and support improved student skills outcomes and enhance student competencies. Student at the centre with teacher as the facilitator.
- "physical learning spaces - being treated to somewhere special - contributed to heightened anticipation and increased expectations from both learners and teachers - a better quality environment produces better quality responses - flexibility and fluidity ... reconfigurable space .... accommodate further kinds of learning - versatility [of technology] enables a wide range of approaches to learning - atmosphere is an ephemeral but important aspect of the learning environment ...” Source: InQbate.

- Previously - Contemporary Learning Spaces Learning spaces to begin with... What does each include?
- Now - Flexible learning spaces or Distributed learning spaces
- Pictures - Saint John Bosco.
- Discussion about behaviour charts and classroom rules - and how these should not be displayed. Why?
- DECLUTTER!!!
- virtual learning spaces - "can extend from individuals and groups in the same or adjacent room, through the rest of the institution and its locality to the wider community and the World Wide Web - the embedded technology has elaborated rather than determined what happens making [it] an empowering space for students and teachers - we should understand virtual space in its widest sense, referring not just to synchronous, highly interactive functions (such as chat, blogs, and wikis) but also to asynchronous functions such as e-mail and discussion threads ...” Source: InQbate.

- Blogging, Skype, Messenger, Facetime, etc. Share an example in your classroom / school.
