How can the design of a room, impact learning? What can you do to create an environment that allows for collaboration, creativity, and mobile technology? Trinity School has made a shift and redesigned their computer lab to promote a non-structured learning environment. Participants will come and see how these new design strategies have impacted teaching and learning at Trinity. Attendees will see how modular furniture, huddle areas and idea walls are utilized to promote collaboration with mobile technology.

Editor's Notes
- We need to prepare our kids for their future, not our past.
- • Flexible – to accommodate both current and evolving pedagogies• Future-proofed – to enable space to be re-allocated and reconfigured • Bold – to look beyond tried and tested technologies and pedagogies• Creative – to energize and inspire learners and tutors• Supportive – to develop the potential of all learners• Enterprising – to make each space capable of supporting different purposes
- 1. It requires teachers to be risk takers--but based on sound educational principals. 2. It focuses less on content and more on process, understanding, and critical thinking about material. 3. It requires "old" skills (reading, writing,etc..) but develops new skills need for the changing world. 4. It exposes students to engaging social networking in an educational setting 5. It establishes and allows students to can create their own knowledge based on fact and content. 6. It makes learning and teaching more FUN. Lots of talk about the technology, but little change with how we teach with the technology. Our tech lab isn’t just a room that houses technology, it’s a space where people come together, create and learn. Students have the opportunity to see their teachers learn beside them. Students have the opportunity to teach their teachers, to solve problems and to become leaders.
- How do educators move into the space and assimilate? How does it impact teaching and learning? What makes a space ?
