 * StevenWishart2 || 8:03 PM || @whatedsaid like space, technology must be underpinned by pedagogy &amp; educational philosophy. #pypchat ||

 * jasongraham99 || 8:03 PM || Q1. What role does the physical environment play in learning? #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:03 PM || #pypchat if accompanied by strong beliefs huge role . If just furniture not so big ||
 * stylinlibrarian || 8:04 PM || Hi, Debbie from Hong Kong here #pypchat ||
 * Louise_003 || 8:04 PM || @jasongraham99 I teach year 1 students and the physical environment can provide motivation for their learning #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:04 PM || A1 it can play a positive OR negative role for sure thats why its important #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:04 PM || A1 it is like a comfortable place to be and study, a homebase or a favorite corner on the sofa #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:04 PM || @whatedsaid Thanks Edna! Excited for the times ahead. #pypchat Love leading a great #pyp environment. ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:04 PM || @jasongraham99 The environment as teacher, n early yrs tchrs work hard before the school bell to set up the environment. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:04 PM || A1: The learning environment is home base. If students don't feel at home, relaxed, then it won't be a place of and for learning. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:05 PM || @Louise_003 Welcome Louise! #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:05 PM || @StevenWishart2 Hey Steven thanks for joining! Good to hear your input #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:05 PM || A1 more than just four walls and windows #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:05 PM || @lsacker Good point. Many focus on fancy furniture. #pypchat ||
 * BruceFerrington || 8:05 PM || A1 - is comfort that important? #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:05 PM || @stylinlibrarian Hi Debbie glad you could join! #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:05 PM || @StevenWishart2 Exactly. Our junior campus got the space first, now the pedagogy is trying to catch up. #gettingthere #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:05 PM || A1 Physical environment must be stimulating and inviting - must not be underrated. #pypchat ||
 * Namastececi || 8:05 PM || A1 Learning space, a huge part. Limited though by what you've got. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:06 PM || @Namastececi I think that is a fair point Kristen. Working with the space you have is a reality. #pypchat ||
 * StevenWishart2 || 8:06 PM || @jasongraham99 Must be teaching desired pedagogy in not fit for purpose space prior to moving into 21st century spaces. #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:06 PM || #pypchat comfort important if kids can make it their own view of comfortable ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:06 PM || @Louise_003 Hi Louise and welcome! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:06 PM || @stylinlibrarian Glad to have you around Debbie. Looking forward to your sharing. #pypchat ||
 * Namastececi || 8:06 PM || I think you can modify any space. Some limits by funding, codes, school. I believe students need comfort. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:06 PM || @Namastececi Are you limited? Or can you adapt any space if you're creative? #pypchat #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:06 PM || @BruceFerrington not just physical comfort, but mental comfort #pypchat ||
 * Louise_003 || 8:06 PM || RT @travisattis: A1 Physical environment must be stimulating and inviting - must not be underrated. #pypchat ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:07 PM || A1 in an ideal world, Ss design their own learning space and change it as they change... #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:07 PM || Physical environment has to be conducive to the type of learning we are promoting #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:07 PM || @Louise_003 I too teach year one. I agree, learning spaces= motivation, or the opposite. #pypchat ||
 * zrinkav || 8:07 PM || RT @jasongraham99: Q1. What role does the physical environment play in learning? #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:07 PM || @whatedsaid @Namastececi You can adapt/manipulate to an extent. Logistically and creatively, sometimes its very difficult!!! #pypchat ||
 * stylinlibrarian || 8:07 PM || Learning space is important, activating curiosity with visuals. Comfort is helpful... Creative use of space is also a must! #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:08 PM || @Namastececi the focus shifts from the space to the content? #pypchat ||
 * lindawollan || 8:08 PM || Arrangement of available furniture says a lot about a teacher's learning philosophy #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:08 PM || #pypchat Working with what you have: so often it's standard-issue tables n chairs that seem to lack a certain aesthetic. Remove? ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:08 PM || @SarahHHK Like in the video clip :-) #pypchat ||
 * Namastececi || 8:08 PM || Seems like the older children get, the more boring the learning spaces. Why? Noticed that at our school--thru gr. 12 #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:08 PM || Yup RT @mlrose14: Physical environment has to be conducive to the type of learning we are promoting #pypchat ||
 * Louise_003 || 8:08 PM || @wholeboxndice Thanks #pypchat ||
 * Louise_003 || 8:08 PM || @jasongraham99 Thanks #pypchat ||
 * PENathan || 8:08 PM || Nathan - Elementary PYP Physical Education teacher in Singapore #pypchat ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:09 PM || Hi all! What's topic today? #pypchat ||
 * stylinlibrarian || 8:09 PM || @wholeboxndice Thanks, glad timing worked! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:09 PM || @PENathan Welcome Nathan. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:09 PM || @SarahHHK I think it looks huger because there are no tables #pypchat ||
 * BruceFerrington || 8:09 PM || @Namastececi Interesting point - maybe the older you get the less external stimuli you need? #pypchat ||
 * SarahHHK || 8:09 PM || @whatedsaid yes! I've never seen a classroom that huge though! #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:09 PM || @stylinlibrarian #pypchat any examples or pics of how you do this. What sorts of visuals do you use ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:09 PM || @brettelockyer Yes! Our @jocpyp took half the tables out to experiment. So much better! #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:09 PM || @PENathan Hi Nathan welcome! #pypchat ||
 * PENathan || 8:10 PM || Having an appropriate space for the subject content is important - I have issues with no gym for PE #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:10 PM || @brettelockyer Or nothing on the walls, so the kids can build their thinking there? #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:10 PM || I think that if people could start from scratch to design a learning space it would be different from most people's actuality.But...#pypchat ||
 * Namastececi || 8:10 PM || My students love the floor. However, with laptops, it's harder. @jocpyp @whatedsaid #pypchat ||
 * Louise_003 || 8:10 PM || @jasongraham99 Agree, it can have opposite effect. #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:10 PM || Moving into Q2. How does your learning environment reflect your beliefs about learning? #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:10 PM || #pypchat The environment we present to Ss reveals our perception of the child. Disney murals or stimulating natural sensory materials? ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:10 PM || @jessievaz12 Learning spaces. Hi Jess! Early for you!! #pypchat ||
 * StevenWishart2 || 8:10 PM || @jasongraham99 Need to learn how to drive before you get the keys to the Ferrari. Space works when teachers pedagogically on board. #pypchat ||
 * helen_morschel || 8:10 PM || Diversity and purpose of space is important and student ownership #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:11 PM || A2 Learning env and beliefs about learning need to go hand in hand #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:11 PM || but... realistically it is about how we bridge the gap to maximising the learning in the space, not just the space itself. #pypchat ||
 * stylinlibrarian || 8:11 PM || @lsacker Videos on tv that activate curiosity. I also like to pop questions up on wall-get students online and into books. #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:11 PM || RT @SarahHHK: A1 in an ideal world, Ss design their own learning space and change it as they change... #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:11 PM || I like @StevenWishart2 comment 'Space works when teachers pedagogically on board'. Fits right into Q2 #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:11 PM || @jasongraham99 it promotes curiosity and creativity, paints available, art supplies, books.... #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:11 PM || RT @jasongraham99: Moving into Q2. How does your learning environment reflect your beliefs about learning? #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:11 PM || @travisattis #pypchat the most difficult is space that is full of furniture. I think empty spaces far easier than one with a sea of tables ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:12 PM || My fav topic!! RT @whatedsaid: @jessievaz12 Learning spaces. Hi Jess! Early for you!! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:12 PM || RT @jasongraham99: Moving into Q2. How does your learning environment reflect your beliefs about learning? #pypchat ||
 * WarwickLanguage || 8:12 PM || RT @whatedsaid: A2 Learning env and beliefs about learning need to go hand in hand #pypchat ||
 * stylinlibrarian || 8:12 PM || @lsacker Also using book displays for creativity (in library) #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:12 PM || @whatedsaid @jocpyp #pypchat half tables out Yay! ||
 * Namastececi || 8:12 PM || A2 Agree. Absolutely. Look around, and you can see a teacher-directed learning space and a student one. Easily. #pypchat ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:12 PM || Agree! RT @StevenWishart2: @jasongraham99 Space works when teachers pedagogically on board. #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:12 PM || @lindawollan #pypchat Yep,arrangement critical.We tried to create spaces to focus on relaxed learning, curl-up spaces,leaning against walls ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:12 PM || RT @whatedsaid: A2 Learning env and beliefs about learning need to go hand in hand #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:12 PM || @brettelockyer cartoons or real life images -it does send a message... #pypchat ||
 * StevenWishart2 || 8:13 PM || @whatedsaid So often projects have to retrofit because pedagogy didn't inform design. It's all about designing space for purpose. ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:13 PM || @travisattis grow vines up the windows.... #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:13 PM || A2. Who or what is the centre of learning? Is it the whiteboard? The teacher? This is reflected in how you ceate your space. #pypchat ||
 * PENathan || 8:13 PM || Space needs to have objects in it that invite the students to touch and interact with #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:13 PM || @StevenWishart2 @jasongraham99 great metaphor . #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:13 PM || I'm lucky. I've the largest space in PYP. Tables, 2 sofa and a reading area ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:13 PM || @Namastececi Agree, but I cant explain the difference that well! More of a sense #pypchat ||
 * WendyGorton || 8:14 PM || @jessievaz12 hey Jess!! :D #pypchat ||
 * helen_morschel || 8:14 PM || I like to see the space as a working document of student learning with ideas being visibly explored #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:14 PM || @travisattis Hmm yes. Whats the reason for frosted windows? #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:14 PM || @lindawollan Unless the learning is static... ;-) #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:14 PM || @wholeboxndice good point, i say in my class there are multiple centers, carpet and TV area, working tables, inquiry board etc #pypchat ||
 * lindawollan || 8:14 PM || Learning environments need to be flexible - able to be changed to suit the learning #pypchat ||
 * alisoneducates || 8:14 PM || A2.Constructivist learning is all about building relationships. Physical space is given shape &amp; ID by relationships created w/i it #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:14 PM || @whatedsaid #pypchat Yes, I love going into a classroom n looking at posters/print n thinking 'whose learning is visible here?' ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:15 PM || @jocpyp Don't forget the hashtag #pypchat ||
 * stylinlibrarian || 8:15 PM || RT @helen_morschel: I like to see the space as a working document of student learning with ideas being visibly explored #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:15 PM || The size of space and the size of class is a factor. I had really small class this year, opens up flex options in use of space. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:15 PM || @helen_morschel What do you look out for, Helen? #pypchat ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:15 PM || Here's my growing collection of learning spaces materials! Does it help? http://t.co/J2S7PRLX #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:16 PM || @BruceFerrington Exactly and real learning CAN happen in any space #pypchat ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:16 PM || So jealous! Inquiry at the heart of that class! RT @travisattis: largest space in PYP. Tables, 2 sofa and a reading area #pypchat ||
 * StevenWishart2 || 8:16 PM || @lsacker @jasongraham99 You can't throw teachers into space and expect it to work. PD, experience, collaboration, leadership key. #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:16 PM || #pypchat we asked our kinder teachers to analyse our library space. Their logic and child centred vision led us to rethink it.kinder rocks ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:16 PM || @mlrose14 Yeah. I don't use the board that much and tend to be everywhere, so no real centre point, which opens up options. #pypchat ||
 * stylinlibrarian || 8:16 PM || Wonderful collection! RT @jessievaz12: Heres my growing collection of learning spaces materials! Does it help? http://t.co/n2EiTRJR #pypchat ||
 * BruceFerrington || 8:16 PM || A2 Are we talking from a position of privilege here? Not everyone has the luxury of interior design options to match their pedagogy #pypchat ||
 * Louise_003 || 8:16 PM || @wholeboxndice Valid point. Mat area and TV teaching station have a big focus in my classroom #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:16 PM || RT @helen_morschel: I like to see the space as a working document of student learning with ideas being visibly explored #pypchat ||
 * lindawollan || 8:17 PM || @StevenWishart2 Pedagogy informed our building design but it has taken teachers a while to change their practice #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:17 PM || @StevenWishart2 Yep. People. #pypchat ||
 * Louise_003 || 8:17 PM || @lsacker @travisattis Agree! #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:17 PM || @BruceFerrington thats a good point. Or the 'authority' in some cases to make such changes if desired #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:18 PM || @jasongraham99 @BruceFerrington So then it's down to how you use the space you do have #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:18 PM || To me it is difference between a home and a hotel, both are great, but home is more comfortable #pypchat ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:18 PM || Gr8 focus! RT @brettelockyer: @whatedsaid #pypchat going into classroom n thinking 'whose learning is visible here?' ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:19 PM || @PENathan I love our schools junk room, so many great finds! #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:19 PM || Q3. How do you enable an effective learning space? #pypchat ||
 * brettelockyer || 8:19 PM || @jocpyp @whatedsaid #pypchat Not allowed? Possible to break rules with integrity? Just need a store room for the excess tables! ||
 * StevenWishart2 || 8:19 PM || @whatedsaid @BruceFerrington Very true! Can reshape any space &amp; use design elements from other projects. Dosn't have to cost much. #pypchat ||
 * jocpyp || 8:19 PM || #pypchat I believe that if you want collaborative learning to happen naturally you have to have flexible spaces for children to move to. ||
 * alisoneducates || 8:19 PM || Visibility and transparency of kids' processes of research and cognition #pypchat ||
 * BruceFerrington || 8:19 PM || @whatedsaid @jasongraham99 Agree - you do what you can with what you have - gets back to creativity and inspiration/motivation #pypchat ||
 * PENathan || 8:19 PM || Schools worst for hoarding materials that r out of date and will never be used again. Haven't used it in a year then throw it out #pypchat ||
 * MumbaiMaggie || 8:19 PM || Joining late and leaving early #pypchat Due to be in a cyber security meeting soon. ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:19 PM || This topic so impt for me and nexus where tech and inquiry meet! Thoughtful space is essential in today's dig world! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:19 PM || RT @lindawollan: @StevenWishart2 Pedagogy informed our building design but it has taken teachers a while to change their practice #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:19 PM || This one should generate loads of discussion: Q3. How do you enable an effective learning space? #pypchat ||
 * Namastececi || 8:20 PM || A3. Give students some decision making in their learning space. Start the year with nothing and then bring it in? #pypchat ||
 * MumbaiMaggie || 8:20 PM || I do like the way students can move between different learning spaces #pypchat ||
 * melmac6 || 8:20 PM || RT @jocpyp: #pypchat I believe that if you want collaborative learning to happen naturally you have to have flexible spaces for children ... ||

 * CliveSir || 8:20 PM || #pypchat I've been working in school where kids, sitting on floor, get told off for leaning back against table legs etc. :( rules :( ||
 * BruceFerrington || 8:20 PM || A3 Keep the space clean and safe. #pypchat ||
 * cpaterso || 8:20 PM || A good teacher can teach in a tent. #pypchat ||
 * travisattis || 8:20 PM || A3 Less teacher influence Next week kids going to design space - should be interesting! 2 much of my influence on layout and walls #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:20 PM || @whatedsaid @jasongraham99 @BruceFerrington Figure out what you can do in the space with what you know and what will suit your Ss...#pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:21 PM || RT @Namastececi: A3. Give students some decision making in their learning space. Start the year with nothing and then bring it in? #pypchat ||
 * lsacker || 8:21 PM || #pypchat no more hoarding. All my stuff got ruined in a flood. What a relief in hindsight ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:21 PM || @wholeboxndice I like to start bare as well, especially the walls. They build as we build. #pypchat ||
 * whatedsaid || 8:21 PM || @Namastececi I love 'Start the year with nothing' Wish we had moved into our new building with nothing #wrongchoices #pypchat ||
 * DwyerTeacher || 8:21 PM || @PENathan true! #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:21 PM || A3. I like to take everything out of the room to start a year, even a term, and start from scratch. #pypchat ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:21 PM || Disagree that it is economic driven. it's pedogogical driven. RT @BruceFerrington: Not everyone has luxury of int design options #pypchat ||

 * MumbaiMaggie || 8:22 PM || @jasongraham99 Hi Jason - good to be here if only for a short time #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:22 PM || All the discussion about making #visiblethinking is super relevant here. A space where learning is evident and on show. #pypchat ||
 * Namastececi || 8:22 PM || I've actually never started the year bare, but want to! Walls, definitely yes. #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:22 PM || RT @cpaterso: A good teacher can teach in a tent. #pypchat ||
 * jasongraham99 || 8:22 PM || @MumbaiMaggie Hi Maggie thanks for joining! #pypchat ||
 * MumbaiMaggie || 8:22 PM || Our learning pods lead out into iCommons areas and I like the way students can choose to move between them #pypchat ||
 * mlrose14 || 8:22 PM || A3 Make resources available- take the doors off the cupboards! Let Ss put up work to show their thinking/learning. #pypchat ||
 * jennysfen || 8:23 PM || @StevenWishart2 I love that idea! #pypchat 'Students as co-constructors of their curriculum and space' ||
 * jessievaz12 || 8:23 PM || So true! But more effective in purposeful design! RT @cpaterso: A good teacher can teach in a tent. #pypchat ||
 * wholeboxndice || 8:23 PM || @jennysfen Hi Jen, glad you made it. #pypchat ||
 * adam_voigt || 8:23 PM || Maybe we should be discussing the spaces we build too - benefits of co-teaching to improve teacher performance are huge. #pypchat ||

 * jasongraham99 || 8:23 PM || If youve just joined were on Q3. How do you enable an effective learning space? #pypchat ||
 * StevenWishart2 || 8:23 PM || @Namastececi Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Students as co-constructors of their curriculum and space. How might we explore this inquiry? #pypchat ||
 * Dan_Aldred || 8:23 PM || #pypchat I'm interested in devices in school, if you have time would you complete a very short BYOD survey? http://t.co/7S6iyU5E Thanks ||
 * travisattis || 8:23 PM || Ideally - a school without doors???? Heating bill would go through the roof! #pypchat ||
