The learning environment would be based on praxis (theoretically

informed practice) and would consider how children learn best

@NickiA10 after all, we all learn the same way as eyfs children we just

had a lot drummed out of us as we went through the system

#ukedchat

MattSL 20:07 #ukedchat learning can and should happen in all environments, might

not be the formal curriculum, but can be equally valuable

bellaale 20:07@colport #ukedchat we get a lot right in KS1 and 2, then gradually lose

it in 3 and 4...

marketspi 20:09#ukedchat the ideal learning environment should have space for

formal and informal learning.

midhamohit 20:09

#ukedchat call me biased, but I would like to see more games-based

learning resources that are adaptive, personalised and curriculum

aligned

janwebb21 20:09 Lots of comments about the sort of collaboration, innovation etc that

we'd like to see - so what does the SPACE look like? #ukedchat

for the Victorian era? #ukedchat

narthernlad 20:11not really following #ukedchat tonight but you seem to be talking

about foundation stages classrooms!

tobyholman 20:11 An obvious one for space would be that every classroom needs

expanding 40% to give such freedoms / opportunities #ukedchat

bellaale 20:11

#ukedchat did anyone see @stephenheppell's keynote at #pelc11?ePaceonline 20:11

@midhamohit #ukedchat agreed, we should be able to provide more

personalised learning in this technological age.

janwebb21 20:11 @colport just imagine you could build a school from scratch - knock

down the Victorian - what would you put in its place #ukedchat

VGoodyear 20:11 A space where all are engaged #ukedchat

marketspi 20:11#ukedchat learning environment needs to allow pupils to cope with

today's world.

RavenEllison 20:11@rashush2 I could not agree with you more. Not just outside but away

from school and in 'real' places #ukedchat

colport 20:11 @midhamohit You're biased! ;-) #ukedchat

Catriona_O 20:12#ukedchat @bellaale are you talking about the Portland School he's

involved in?

ICTmagic 20:12@janwebb21 The space should be dripping in tech! Just the thought of

it makes my mouth water! #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:12@MattSL #ukedchat and that some buildings/outside spaces promote

that type of learning

cherrylkd 20:12 #ukedchat ideal environment 4 me would involve less intrusion from

slt and ofsted. Chance for learners to relax and learn. Better learning

PetermSkelton 20:123rd teacher project has interesting ideas on this http://bit.ly/KF6TV#ukedchat

craftyslh 20:12 @midhamohit #ukedchat - totally agree that games are the future. See

@avantgame presentation http://on.ted.com/97LM

sarahjnl 20:12#UKEdChat space needs to be owned by children and facilitate

independent learning

janwebb21 20:12@MattSL I agree - but have seen a number of buildings recently that

make me think the sky's the limit! #ukedchat

rashush2 20:16our new school is all spread out in a long line - HORRIBLE for

collaboration between classes. Need clusters. #ukedchat

break out zones, furnished, well lit. Like csi but with proper science

tobyholman 20:18#ukedchat The key for learning space is a space that pupils: a)

appreciate b) respect c) benefit from

BSFDarren 20:18 @mattbuxton10 totally agree!! #ukedchat

CliveBuckley 20:18Heppell's view - the rule of 3 - http://bit.ly/dK1M0Q #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:18 @midhamohit I absolutley agree! #UKEdChat

sarahjnl 20:18

#UKEdChat there are some v fancy, pricey, brand new prison type

classrooms.. Why don't they ask teachers and children what they'd

like?!?!

cintiastella 20:18RT @CliveSir: Big Ed Blog Collection : 1000+ Ed blogs!

http://is.gd/QWLjdd #edchat #ukedchat

midhamohit 20:18 #UKEdChat @janwebb21 yes virtual learning spaces is as important as

physical There are less barriers in virtual & you decide the pace!

sh1916 20:18

@janwebb21 that 'no corridors' picture looks cool but what is wrong

with corridors? #ukedchat

janwebb21 20:18@marketspi what about more shared classrooms and team teaching

/supporting pupil-led learning activities? #ukedchat

CliveBuckley 20:19But if we are designing in the virtual world let us not make the same

mistakes as we do in the real #ukedchat

MattSL 20:19#ukedchat any learning space should be covered in signs if learning, led

by the students

cherrylkd 20:19 @marketspi #ukedchat collaboration is good but can be disruptive. If

its peer mentoring and other teacher helps that's good

RavenEllison 20:19 Basic sanitation (nice and clean toilets) and zero tolerance to human

rights abuses (physical violence etc.) need to be nailed. #ukedchat

HamptonEnglish 20:20 #ukedchat VLE is vital for independent learning but it needs to be well

managed and teachers in all departments need reading age training

MattSL 20:20#ukedchat I've been to many amazing BSF schools that look like sterile,

uninspiring conference centres

BSFDarren 20:20#ukedchat you can find some amazing resources for learning

environment design at www.space4pl.orgCatriona_O 20:20 #ukedchat@bellaale just checking now

sh1916 20:21@PetermSkelton My room is always too hot, heating issues. Drives me

+ learners bonkers! #ukedchat

helenhamill 20:21 #ukedchat 70% of ASD children - even asperger's - leave school with a

mental health condition! FACT! do we do enough to prevent this?

BSFDarren 20:22@sh1916 @janwebb21 corridors an expensive waste of space.

Intensely used for less than 10% of a school day. #ukedchat

colport 20:22 @helenhamill #ukedchat Have we EVER done anything for this? Should

classroom environments be plain - nothing on walls - for such pupils?

CliveBuckley 20:22 Saw a SL version of a learning environment from one university - it

replicated a (physical) lecture theatre ... missed the point #ukedchat

cherrylkd 20:22 @janwebb21 @marketspi #ukedchat team teaching is great. Especially

when doing it with a student teacher. Lots to learn for both teachers

janwebb21 20:23@rashush2 it challenges us to a different type of teaching in that case

#ukedchat

colport 20:23 @NickiA10 Causes problems for the adults as well! #ukedchat

kath_brentford 20:23#ukedchat how important is the space compared to what's in it?

janwebb21 20:23#ukedchat another interesting learning environment is high tech high
