Creating Learning Environments for Computer Science
As you watch the skill video below, think about these questions:
How does the facilitator set up his space for computer science learning?
How does Pete arrange his space so that he can listen to what the youth have to say?
Why does Pete think it is important to approach the classroom as a flexible space?
Now that you’ve watched the video, reflect on what you saw and post your responses.
How can you arrange your space to enhance learning?
