Dreaming: A look at Anastasis Academy — from ilearntechnology.com by Kelly Tenkely
Excerpt:
You will notice that we don’t have rows of desks. No teacher’s desk either. We have space that kids can move in. Corners to hide in, stages to act on, floors to spread out on, cars to read in. We are learning how to learn together, learning how to respect other children’s space and needs, learning how to discipline ourselves when we need to, learning how to work collaboratively, we are learning to be the best us.

Herman Miller, Inc. : Designing 21st Century Classrooms — from 4-traders.com
Excerpt:
As technology and online universities continue to disrupt education, a new Herman Miller study examines the role of the physical environment in learning. The results of the longitudinal Learning Spaces Research ProgramSM (LSRP) highlight an emerging space – the learning studio – which is driving collaborative learning in 21st century education.
Learning studios overcome the rigidity of traditional classrooms with flexible, moveable design that supports diverse learning and teaching methods. Findings released last night at the Transforming Education conference at Purdue University suggest these holistic environments could improve the learning experience for students and faculty by as much as 18 percent over traditional classrooms.
