Design

Thanks for the discussion so far. I hope to hear from some of our other members. I want to mention design as a way to help "connect" the two hemispheres. Good design results in a highly functional, yet beautiful and creative device, solution, or physical space. Design is often overlooked in our "factory" mentality. Ironically good design can actually increase efficiency - something our 150-year-old school model was set up to accomplish.

So perhaps the question to ponder is related to the idea Laurie brought up in a previous post - how could your classroom space be (re)designed to create a more powerful learning environment for your students?
