Thank Willex. In one resource (https://www.edutopia.org/blog/visualizing-21st-century-classroom-design-mary-wade ) Mary Wade encourages us teachers to utilise the existing classrooms and turning them into 21st Century classrooms. She outlines elements of 21 Century classrooms and shows how teachers can visualize and implement them.

7.4 Technology Group 9 years, 8 months agoI also take the view that classroom walls do not have to be physically broken down. Learning can take place anywhere with technology using internet connected devices. Any space can be turned into a learning space e.g. homes, museums, playgrounds, field excursion, green spaces, auditoriums, computer labs, public spaces, learning centers, courtyards, etc.

Students are given opportunity to lead their teachers with their knowledge and interest in reaching beyond the classroom.
