The Seven Spaces of Technology in School Environments from Ewan McIntosh on Vimeo.

1) secret spaces
2) group spaces
  • community as designer - stanford's dschool
  • make space manipulatable on a just-in-time basis
  • [more on fluid spaces here via ideo]
3) publishing spaces
  • blog, flickr, tap into group spaces
  • twitter wall - live update
  • school can be the community's best neighbor- design space so it's used by everyone in community always
4) performance spaces
  • allows people to be something they are not
  • play occurs in more than playgrounds
5) participation spaces
6) data spaces
  • how could real time data actually improve the space data.gov.uk
  • gullane primary school - producing their own energy - can only happen if we have that data input at every point of our school day
7) watching spaces
  • teds
  • imagine a lecture not taking place in a classroom
  • dschool - all furniture on wheels - encourage listening, but 3 focal points, collaboration during listening is encouraged - to whisper during a lecture, lecture is almost discouraged, and can come from anyone, merely spaces where you can talk to groups

from Ewan's post: learning spaces. virtual spaces. physical spaces.
