  infrastructure, equipment and services.

Vision is the art of seeing things invisible.
Where there is no vision, the people perish.
Proverbs 2918 Leadership is the capacity to
translate vision into reality. Warren G. Bennis

Think about classrooms

• Classrooms or learning spaces
• What does flexible mean in the context of a
  learning space?
• What specialist learning spaces are essential?
• What form can generic learning spaces take?
• Will the learning space for introductory sessions
  be different to the spaces needed for extended
  learning?
• How can learning spaces support collaborative
  working?
• How can learning spaces support personalised
  learning?
• Could corridors be learning spaces?

12
Think a little about ICT.

• What ICT functionality would best support
  learning in each of the learning spaces that you
  have defined?
• Consider the transformational potential of ICT to
  enhance, extend and enrich learning, and to
  empower learners.
• Consider the role of ICT in supporting a rich
  view of personalised learning
• students following personal learning pathways
• students studying where and when is most
  appropriate for their learning
• students working collaboratively with others
  engaged in similar learning and/or with experts
  in the topic they are studying.
