New Year, Fresh Take on Space!
The environment can be a MASSIVE beginning-of-year resource for educators. Here's how:
-Create spatial nicknames! This encourages community building and ownership. Instead of 'collaborative', how about 'campfire'. Get creative!
-Ignite a launch pad! Incorporate technology, like tablets/iPads, within wall space design to encourage reflection, feedback, and innovation. This Launch Pad allows learners and educators to record and synthesize their thoughts.
-It's okay, be basic! Data walls can be slowly built over time. Begin the year with less visual noise and see how the learning ecosystem fills it purposefully as experiences happen.
