Classroom design is more about the kind of experience students actually
have than about controlling the experience you try to give them.
(Inspired by Robin Good via Catriona Cornett)
The title of Scott McLeod's blog should be a clarion call by itself. Dangerously Irrelevant. Things are changing at a more rapid pace than ever — and we had a tough time with change yesteryear.
I once asked a teacher what would happen if they treated their students like customers, with a design philosophy of customer experience in mind. The teacher was taken aback. She said the day she treats her students like customers is the day she would lose control of the room.
At that moment, I knew she was standing on the line of irrelevancy — and about to cross over. The reality is, she should have been looking for ways to share control rather than try to own it alone.
An aside on this post: Notice how I took Robin Good's quote, from Catriona Cornett's post, and SCAMPERed it. We could easily do the same for various disciplines (yours?)
