3. Creative Learning Spaces
The greatest challenge to change in learning is our reticence
to simply take action:
 change the space
 change the program
 expect high outcomes
The formula – do, then think!

5. Creative Learning Spaces
The Camp Fire
This is a social learning space where students face each other, and in doing so gain an
expectation that each should contribute something to the discussion and activities.

6. Creative Learning Spaces
The Cave
This is a personal learning space where students can be on their own. Personal learning
spaces enable them to reflect on their learning, and create their own learning pathways.

7. Creative Learning Spaces
The Sandpit
Sandpits are places where young people can try out new ideas and experiment without fear of
failure. They can take risks and ask the 'what if' questions, in a psychologically safe environment.

9. Creative Learning Spaces
The Watering Hole
Informal spaces where students can gather spontaneously, either inside or outside the school.
Children can meet at the foot of a stairwell or under a tree to discuss anything, whether it is
school related or not.

11. Creative Learning Spaces
The Mountain Top
Here young people can share their work and ideas. They can publish or broadcast them in a
public performance space, or use blogs, podcasts, videos and other technology tools to share
their content with their peers and the world.
