Learning Environments

 



I used Google Drawings to create the library floor plan. Currently, I think our library makes good use of the space we have. The chrome books and iPads can be rolled out if a class is using the green screen. I would love for our library to add a Makerspace but there isn't a lot of room to store the materials. That is the challenge my current TL is facing.

I like this photo because it takes up minimal space and would be a concept I would use in my current school's library due to lack of available space. By having a makerspace wall, students could have the tools to engage with design thinking in the library. I received some feedback that a wall may make it hard for some students to reach the materials they need. I have updated my design with a rolling cart instead. You can view the updated linoit board at the end of this post. Second, I included a photo of moveable walls. I indicated where the walls may fit in my layout and walls would make the library space more flexible to accommodate two separate classes in the space at the same time. By freeing up some space, classroom teachers would have the option to bring their classes in to use the ma...

  Here is my second iteration of my library learning commons model. In response to the feedback I received, I fixed up the grammar mistake in my "Creation" box, changed the background colour to a bolder choice and added in an updated logo.
