21st Century Learning Environments

My presentation went well. Except it was on 21st Century learning Environments and cookies weren't enabled there was a very old version of flash so some of my links did not work.

Says a lot that a conference on 21st Century learning environments could not run 21st Century software. How the heck do we build 21st Century schools?

Yes, your presentation went very well. Thanks for your insights about 21st century learning. Pity about the technology. I'm looking forward to getting into some of the websites you told us about. Jenny Wilson

Hi Brian, thanks for the link to the wiki - I am wondering whether when we are pondering over the sort of environments that might enhance learning outcomes for 21st Century Learners that Mumford might have buttoned the button with his insight on how we should build cities

"Forget the damned motor car and build the cities for lovers and friends." Lewis Mumford

Comes from reading an interesting study that tracks how 21st Century learners like to learn (ethnographic study watching what they do during the day rather than a response to a survey/ questionnaire research study) - it has some surprising findings. I'd be interested in what you think.
