VS | Ergonomic school furniture - 0 views

    • anonymous
       
      Mrs. Miller's Kindergarten class got a class set of this company's Hokki stools through a Mariemont Foundation grant. I know this is a commercial school furniture site, but as I read through their design philosophy, I'm really impressed by how learner-centered they are and how the furniture is designed for the kind of learning we're dreaming of. I'm definitely using them for inspiration for the Library Makerspace grant I'm writing.

    "We can only teach children core competencies for the 21st century in schools and with teaching methods that are actually designed to achieve the outcomes we need now and in the future. Learning and the learning environment are thus closely connected: It is imperative to create spaces that allow pupils every possible opportunity for self-development."

What Schools Can Learn From Google, IDEO, and Pixar | Co.Design | business + design - 2 views

  • What would it mean for schools to have a culture centered on design thinking and interdisciplinary projects instead of siloed subjects?
  • There are some schools out there that are doing just that, including High Tech High, an innovative collection of charter schools in Southern California led by lawyer-cum-carpenter-cum-education innovator Larry Rosenstock and a diverse team of adult learners.
  • Schools could be the breeding ground for a new millennium of Renaissance young men and women where creating something trumps memorizing it

The Difference Between Projects And Project-Based Learning - 0 views

    "By design, PBL is learner-centered. Students don't simply choose between two highly academic projects to complete by a given date, but instead use the teacher's experience to design and iterate products and projects-products and projects that often address issues or challenges that are important to them."

Design Thinking: A creative process for school change - 3 views

  •  
    During one of my workshops last year in Boston, Brad Ovenell-Carter (@braddo) put his visual notetaking skills to action. I took his lovely summary drawing and used ThingLink to add layers of information and elaboration. In the future I am keen to share more about my experiences of design thinking with school leaders, teachers and other organisations in blog posts here.

The Difference Between Doing Projects Versus Learning Through Projects - 1 views

  • Projects are generally teacher-directed, universal, and tangent to the learning, while project-based learning is student-centered, personal, and the learning pathway itself. Put simply, it is an approach to learning rather than something to complete. Paul Curtis recently shared this excellent visual on twitter that takes a different approach to clarifying the difference, looking at it from the perspective of curriculum planning and instructional design.

The Daring Librarian: Classrom Cribs! Brain Friendly Learning Spaces - 0 views

  • Remember MTV Cribs? We thought, what if that same concept of Cribs...met the classroom! From August 14th to September 14th we’ll be running a challenge that anyone can join. Here’s the details: 1. Rethink your learning space with the student in mind. What changes will enhance the learning experience? 2. Redesign your learning space and show us how you did it: Take pictures and video. 3. Create a 3-min "Cribs" video showing off your new learning space. Include a 250 word (or less) rationale for “why” you made the changes. 4. Submit your video, rationale, and bio to have a chance to be featured on our site and win great prizes!

    "Classroom Cribs is our hub for "brain friendly learning spaces". Our mission at Classroom Cribs is to enhance pedagogy and the learning experience with brain-based classroom designs that students will love. And that is the main point. We can (and should) create better learning environments for our students. Spaces that are centered around research and what works."

Why app design is replacing computer science in public schools - 1 views

  •  
    Were teenagers by-and-large rational, computer science would be an easy sell. In what other industry is a 50-person company selling for $19 billion? What other industry gives millions in financing to early twenty-somethings with almost no job experience, armed only with programming know-how and an idea that's "like Uber, but for (fill in the blank)"?

  •  
    Coding isn't just for computer science any more. Educators are finding that teaching students to write code and design games enhances learning and creates engagement. These examples illustrate how coding and games are being used across the curriculum and at all levels, as well as why great teaching is at the very heart of this innovation.

Chairs and Tables: The Classroom Technology That Could Help Students - US News - 7 views

  •  
    Redesigned learning spaces can engage students and faculty members, research says. New research shows classroom layout and furniture can positively impact student engagement. What if the key to boosting student engagement was as simple as swapping out desks and chairs and rearranging the layout of a classroom? -- isn't this cool? MB

    LOVE this! Think EV and I are going to apply for a "Make it Happen" grant this year to re-think our classroom furniture.
