This session takes the concepts of “spacemaking” and “placemaking” that have been used in urban design, and applies them to classroom “spaces” that we create as educators. With the growth of on-line and blended courses, these concepts are stretched even further. The author shares techniques and processes inspired by from programs such as the Project for Public Spaces (PPS) and the Moonshot Program for primary education in Florida. Principle goals of these programs can challenge educators to create places that are vital, engaging, connected to community, and support the social-emotional needs of learners, fostering integrated and connected learning.
