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?
- Can you use different parts of your space for different parts of the activity?
