-><span style="color: #900;">..and it's because we have all had so much experience with classrooms, teachers and textbooks as our vision of education. I think that part of what we need to do to reflect on how we learn after school, and translate that into environments and pedagogies for 21st century learning. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'>
Added lines 87-88:
-><span style="color: #900;"> It's a great question, because it is our tendency to default back. Again, the key is to make our mission to educate children into a learning lifestyle -- not to be teachable. Another essential part of this is to some how, facilitate an ongoing and constant conversation about learning in our schools -- creating a learning culture. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'>

-><span style="color: #900;"> I have seen her talk on TED Talk and was truly moved. I've long believed that we've been pushing this collaboration thing too hard. It's important, but it's not the only way. I was also intrigued to learn that being an introvert is not really about shyness. It's about how and where you get your energy. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'>

Added lines 42-43:
-><span style="color: #900;">Yes, but how do you teach that. It's my opinion that you can't. We won't benefit from people who all solve problems in the same way, as they've been taught. What we'll need are people with unique ways of analyzing situations and invent solutions that work there. I think that students need experiences that provoke them to develop and refine their own techniques and practices. This whole ''maker'' movement has a lot of potential in schools, I believe. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'>

-><span style="color: #900;"> I guess that this is a metaphor as well, I've enjoyed learning about pervious concrete. When talking about literacy, I describe how our information environment has become increasingly
<ul>
<li>Networked</li>
<li>Digital</li>
<li>and Abundant</li></ul>
It seems that designed that leverage the networked, digital and abundant (overwhelming) nature of information makes ceilings and walls more ''pervious''. </span> - dfw<img src='http://www.gravatar.com/avatar/7f39fcc720abd8b9787b378a95ee8149' height='25' align='right'>

How does an architecture that ignores walls stand? And if no ceiling, how do we keep out the rain? How do we extend the metaphors to apply?

The irony of John's comment about the rate of change is that classroom design evolved very little during that same period of time.
