Natasha Kenny and Gavan Watson just published a couple of great posts on active learning classroom spaces:
Gavan Watson: Guiding the planning, design and use of active learning classrooms (part 1)
Natasha Kenny: Five approaches to guide the planning, design, and use of active learning classroom spaces (part 2)
The 5 approaches:
- Collaboration
- Community

Both posts are chock full of linky goodness. And, I’m glad they’re both blogging. Long live the blog!
