Reimagining the Spaces in Which We Learn

Published by:

Presenter: David Jakes

Location:  Naperville, IL
@djakes

This keynote comes in four parts. You can watch it one piece after the other or one at a time and take time to reflect.

Part One: Mindset

Part Two:  Landscape

Part Three: Process

Part Four: Impact

Description: It’s not hard to recognize the typical “classroom.”  They haven’t changed much.  And while we can and should honor all the learning that has taken place in that space, students today have an opportunity to learn within an ever-expanding learning space that supports entirely new connections and possibilities for their learning.  Join David Jakes as we explore the critical issues surrounding the relationship of space to learning, and how you can begin to take the steps that are necessary to create inspiring and transformative physical and virtual spaces that afford students choice and ownership of their learning.
