  • nstead of classrooms, PlayMaker School has a suite of spaces that are interconnected physically and visually. There’s an ideation lab, a maker space, and an immersive gaming and learning zone where the students can try out the games they create and the software they develop.
  • When you put math and science teachers together, they can cross-collaborate on lesson plans. If they’re teaching trigonometry or wave properties in math, they know they have to pull in the physics faculty also.” Schools that embrace STEM end up retraining. “They have to stretch their conception of what’s being taught.”
  • They were inspired by facilities that “let spontaneous collisions happen,”

  • One of its major findings was that, to succeed, STEM and other interdisciplinary programs need to create propinquity—literally, “nearness”—among their participants.
  • There are still labs. They operate in two modes: students seated around a large table or working as teams around a lab bench. The lab classrooms can shift easily between the two modes, so they’re slightly larger than tradition dictates. The idea is that you can do a math lab at the table or a science lab at the bench.

  • how can spaces that have essentially been designed the same way for 100 years still serve the learning needs of our students in the 21st century?
  • When you stand in a classroom and look out at your students, what does the layout of that room say about the educational philosophy of your school?
  • Whatever technology you're placing into school, the physical learning environment should support the same pedagogical objectives that prompted the integration of the technology. Everything should work in unison to create an atmosphere that encourages and fosters 21st century learning objectives.

  • to’s study found that high school age students, when working on their own, interact with digital media in one of three ways: 1) “hanging out,” in social networks or online spaces such as blogs, chats or Facebook; 2)“messing around,” or tinkering with software to produce various types of media; 3) “geeking out,” a more serious exploration of one type of media or technology, often in online interest groups. Media to young people might mean Japanese anime, fan fiction, spoken word or rap poetry, video, music or any combination of different forms and styles of communication.
  • The activity at the center is designed to encourage young people to move along a continuum of engagement, from “messing around,” to “geeking out.”
  • YOUmedia center have an instant means of broadcasting their work and get instant feedback from other students and adult mentors. Broadcasting and networking is an essential part of the YOUmedia experience, one that echoes the way young people use technology on their own.

  • Typically they come to see buildings, spaces and furniture. They leave seeing the possibility for reconstructing their own learning spaces, pedagogy, teams and thinking.
  • I am witnessing teachers experiencing a new role – no longer the managers of behavior, but now the creative directors of curriculum delivery.
  • Someone who can sit down with a child and guide them in the applied use of a mobile device for learning and employment, provisioned with wireless Internet access, and at the right time of confidence and relational development, gift them with that device, remaining as their mentor and coach.

  • They argue (or school administrators hear) that it is now up to the teacher and a more modern classroom dynamic to manage this rapid, Internet-fed information stream to support learning (Bonk 2010).

  • Secondly, tools shape behaviours. Tools shape cognition. Tools shape societal structures in both intended, and unintended, ways.
  • Anthony Aguirre, in The Enemy of Insight, suggests that “information input from the Internet is simply too fast, leaving little mental space or time to process that information, fit it into existing schema, and think through the implications”. (
  • “Important issues fade from focus fast, and while many of humanity’s challenges get more complicated, society’s ability to pay attention to complex arguments dwindles. Sound bites and attack ads work well when the world has attention deficit disorder.”

  • It seems to me that this will be achieved when we see them not simply using ICT as ‘tools’, but rather when we see students thinking differently as a result of their ubiquitous presence and facility. The invention of words, and subsequently the printing press, resulted in a new literacy because people now had words with which to think and to communicate. ‘Blue water’ with respect to ICT means that people must sufficiently appropriate these technologies in order that they become ‘media with which to think and to communicate’.
