Blank Canvas | SCOTT DUNCAN
http://mrduncan.global2.vic.edu.au/2015/01/22/blank-canvas
With school set to go back in a few days in Australia, I’ve been busy preparing my classroom ready for the start of the school year. It’s also been interesting to read a few posts from other who have focused on how classroom design and layout impacts on pedagogy. Photo from author’s collection. I also try to make sure I have ‘floor space’ for students to sit. I like to use use ‘circles’ as a way of sharing, solving problems and presenting new information. Daily Schedule List of what’s on for the day.

A blank canvas – Part II. This post is in response to. A comment I received. In relation to my “Blank Canvas” post. And and expands on my thoughts in relation t. O my ideal learning space. I remember once having this idea that I wanted to start the year with a totally empty classroom. No furniture. No chairs. No desks. No displays. Nothing. What would begin as a blank canvas would become a masterpiece that we would paint together. Somewhere in the middle of my dream though, reality set in. Previous attem...

My Ideal Learning Space. Put together a design brief for a new learning space. I approached this task like stream of consciousness, so I brainstormed all of the items I would like in my ideal learning space. So, in no particular order…. Space for displays. Whiteboards, TV Screens, Monitors, Noticeboards…. Space for Storage – concrete materials, models and constructions all take up space and need somewhere to live. Readily available access to a range technology. This entry was posted in #youredustory.
