There are some really interesting

dimensions to be thinking

about as we think about new space in

schools.我们在思考学校的新型空间设计是，还会考虑到一些有意思的方面，

And the first is the idea of bigger,

more flexible classrooms, inside leaner

and greener schools.

首先就是在较小的新学校里建立更大的，更灵活的教室的方法。

>> Second one is that if you're stuck

in an existing space that you have

somewhat

of an inability to modify, you can

actually

hack or, er, or actually put in a

workaround.  To actually modify that space.

第二就是如果你在一个无法修改的现存空间上卡住了，你可以丢掉原来的想法，另想一个解决办法。

>> And lastly, don't forget the power

of furniture.

And how just furniture

alone can change your space so much.

最后别忘了桌椅等设施的作用，让它们成为空间改变的一部分。

>> And what we're finding is as schools

start to answer these sorts of

questions, they're realizing that in many

cases, they're going to want a much bigger space.

More wide open, that really goes beyond a

traditional classroom.

我们发现当学校在解决这些问题时，他们意识到很多情况下，他们都需要一个更大更开放的空间，这是建立在传统教室形式上的。

>> Michael, I almost think it's like my

vision of the new

normal, is like a library of a college

campus meets a Starbucks.

我甚至认为它可以像大学校园图书馆和星巴克的综合体。

Where there's still academic learning and

purpose, but maybe ability

to have more informal or different kinds

of spaces.

         这里有学习空间，还可以有非正式的或不同形式的空间。

It may be in a place for a student to have a beverage while they take a break from their learning.

还可能会有这么一个空间，在这里学生学习间歇可以喝杯饮料。

>> To create larger spaces that are more flexible, we see a lot of people taking a lot of different tacts.

为了创造一个更大的更灵活多变的空间，很多人有很多不同的方法。

So new classrooms which emerges from New York City's School of One, works with school districts, to actually come in and down the walls between groups of classrooms. To create far more wide open learning                                                

spaces.

浮现于纽约市学校的新教室的学校工作学习区域，实际上是通过教室之间的墙壁来实现更开放的学习空间。

That can enable a greater variety of activities.

这可以使更多样的活动变得可能。

>> And Rocketship education that we've

been talking about, used to use the

lab rotational model, where students left

the classroom and went to the lab.

我们提到过的Rocketship教育曾经使用实验室轮换模式，这样学生可以离开教室去实验室学习。

And they just are not as happy about the,

the classroom,

talking to the lab, and the lab talking to

the class room.他们对这种教室不够满意。

So they're actually trying to pull the lab

back in.所有他们试着把它们综合到一起。

And they've been experimenting with taking

three

classrooms, and knocking out those two

middle walls.他们也试验过把两堵墙推到，使三个教室变成一个教室。

To say what would it look like to make

a large space that could fit up to 100

students.这样可以形成一个可以容纳100学生的更大空间。

But maybe would have lots of different

stations within the room, for

small group construction, for independent

computer work, for time with the teacher.在这样的教室里可以分割成不同功能的小空间，可以小组讨论，单独上机学习，或者跟老师学习。

And whether it's flexible walls or

floating book

cases, or ways to cate, create that

demarcation of space.不管它是有可移动的墙壁，还是可移动的书架，创造这种空间的分割。

But still have a really vibrant, exciting

learning space that was flexible for their

needs。 根据学生的需要创造鲜明的令人兴奋的学习空间

>> And you remember Carpe Diem, the

blending learning school with locations

in Arizona, Indianopolis, and Cincinati.你记得坐落在亚利桑那州的混合型学习学校Carpe Diem。

What's interesting is that in their

Arizona school when they initially

started, they had a large central learning lab where

students worked in their individual

offices online.有意思的是亚利桑那州学校最初开始时拥有一个大型的集中式的学习实验室，在那里学生可以独立在线学习。

And then they had those breakout rooms

around the perimeter,

that were glassed off, and where students

would do collaborative projects.

后来，他们在周边用玻璃分割了一些小空间，在这些小空间里，学生可以做一些合作性学习的项目。

But what they noticed was that wha,

when student were in the collaborative

areas, working with other students and teachers, that

they would get so energized from that collaborative activity.

他们发现当学生在这些空间和老师、同学合作学习时，学生能够从合作活动中获得更多的能力和精力。

That when it was time to rotate back into

the learning lab, that

energy would just pour out of the

breakout environments, into the central

learning lab. And it would disrupt the learning in often

times.

这样当他们再回到学习实验室时，会把他们的精力带到这里。这常常会扰乱正常的学习。

So what they did when they moved to the

Indianapolis facility and opened

that school there, is that they actually

put it on two different floors.所以当他们把学校搬迁到印第安那不勒斯后，他们把它分到了不同的楼层。

So, on the second floor was your learning

lab.

And on the first floor was your breakout

rooms.二层是学习实验室，一层是附加功能教室。

And the reason they did that was that,

so there, there would be a cultural

distinction,

about the first floor being the place for

that noisy collaborative activity.他们这么做的原因是学习形式的区别，一层设计成喧闹的协作性活动的场所。

And when you, by the time you moved up the

stairs to the second floor, it was time to be quiet and ready

to focus on your individual work.

但是当你来到二层时， 那就要保持安静，集中精力进行单独的个人学习了。

>> So Summit, Rocketship, and Carpe

Diem, all have one more thing in common.

Which is, as they move beyond this old

like egg crate model

of architecture for schools, they're

actually building schools with a smaller footprint.

总之，Rocketship和 Carpe都是在学校原有的模式上进行了改变创造，用更小的空间建造新的学校模式。

Diem,

Using less square footage, probably

bringing down their costs to build the buildings.

这样可以减少建造费用。

And creating frankly a more environmentally

friendly building, because it's occupying less land.由于空间所占面积较小，它会让人感觉环境更和谐。

>> Yeah, and so if you look at Carpe

Diem in Arizona actually, the traditional

school building in that

space would cost two and a half times as

much to build, and would require twice as

many classrooms.我们看到亚利桑那州的Carpe

Diem，传统学校在空间上需要建多两倍的教室。

>> And you think about re-purposing

existing space.你还要考虑如何利用现有空间。

When Summit was trying to create this big more flexible learning environment, they actually decided to start with an old converted office building, and create a really neat flexible space out of an office park.

Summit 试着创建这种大的灵活的学习环境时，他们从一个老式办公楼开始，改建成一个简洁的灵活的空间。

This all has serious implications for the

way we build schools into the future.这对我们未来建设学校有一个很好的提示。

If you're still out there raising school

bond money, to have a 40 million dollar

new school constructed in your community,

my guess

is you might be missing some potential

opportunities.

>> And I know for one, I wouldn't want

to be the school district

that builds the last 20th century school

building, as we're moving into this world.我不想把学区建成20世纪我们出生时学校的样子，

Which raises actually a really important

point.这是很重要的一点。

Which is that we think that as you're

building new school buildings in your

community, get involved.

Don't just be on the sidelines.

We think that educators need to be in

these conversations about how to design

these environments optimally.

And don't just leave those details to the

operations or facilities people.

>> Now we realize most of you are not

going to be designing a brand new 40

million dollar building.

我们大部分都不可能设计一个4000万的全新建筑。

That's okay, you can still do a lot of

these same ideas in whatever setting you're

thinking about blended learning.关于混合型学习的环境设施，你还可以提出更多的想法。

>> So we've seen some of these new

workarounds already.我们已经见了一些新的学习区域。

For example, new classrooms helping

districts tear down walls between classrooms to get

larger spaces.例如，拆掉教室间的墙来或得更大的空间。

But, if you can't tear down a wall, just

think about the larger spaces you already have

in your school.

如果你不想拆掉墙壁，那么就想想在学校里已有的较大的空间。

Multipurpose rooms,

cafeterias, even folding walls that adjoin

between different classrooms.

多功能室，咖啡厅甚至是不同教室间的可折叠的墙。

There a lot of opportunities.

>> And even just within a classroom,

creating little nooks.在一个教室里，可增加一些小角落。

Or thinking about how KIPP LA, used some

hall room space to create another learning

environment for their students.

KIPP LA曾把一个大厅为学生改建成了一个学习空间。

This spirit of creativity and hacking your space, can lead to some really simple but creative uses of space and furniture, for very different outcomes in

schools.对原有空间的改建和创新，可以使空间变得更简单，在空间和设施运用方面更灵活。

>> We've also seen some examples in Milpitas, which is a school district in California. What they've done is that they looked around and said, where do we have large learning spaces?

我们还见了位于加利福尼亚学区Milpitas的一些示例，他们常边看边说，我们哪有那么大的学习空间呢？

And it turned out they had them in their kindergarten classrooms.

结果是他们使用了幼儿园教室。

So what they did was relocated the

kindergarten classrooms to smaller rooms,

他们要做的就是他幼儿园教室搬到更小的房间里，

and used those spaces for big learning labs, for

their lab rotation model that they implemented.    然后把这些作为大的学习实验室来执行他们轮换式学习。

>> And also they got furniture right there, and created different levels of

heights and different kind of cool settings that really worked for those students.另外，他们还添置了桌椅等设施，为学生开发了不同高度，不同类型的设施。

>> Now we've labeled this last section, don't forget the furniture.最后不要忘了桌椅等设施。

But we're not just talking about the

furniture. 但我们讨论的不仅仅是桌椅设施。

We're talking about all the things that you decide to do that impact the learning environment that you create.我们讨论的是你决定要做的所有事情，这些将影响你所创设的学习环境。

So that ranges from the furniture, to also how you decorate the walls.

And all those little touches in design that you put in.

所以，从桌椅设施到墙面装饰再到你所有设计的东西，做一个列表。

>> And, you know, it's easy to say, why

are you talking about paint color?

Right, we get it.简单来说，你为什么讨论涂料的颜色。

But the thing is, if you visit schools

that don't get this right,

and they think it's just about the tables

or the kids on the computers.

It can lack, lack that heart, that

emotional connection.如果你参观这些方面做的不好的学校，就会觉得缺少一些情感上的联系。

We actually visited a school recently together, which looked beautiful.

最近我们确实一起参观过一所漂亮的学校。

It was an historic building, but it was really dark.

And they sort of went for history and

gravitas, rather than energy. 那是一座有历史的建筑，颜色确实很暗，历史感很强，很庄严。

And then they asked the students to work

independently for a large portion of

the day, and you could just feel it in the

vibe of the students.学生每天有很大一部分时间在独立学习，你能从学生的气氛中感受到这种气氛。

There was something missing.

It didn't have that pop, it didn't tell

students with

every decision, go for it, keep working,

it's up to you,

don't give up.它并没有告诉学生每个结果，去做吧，继续，由你决定，不要放弃。

>> So don't think that your furniture

has to be one size fits all, if you will.不要觉得一个尺寸的桌椅适合所有的学生。

Not every desk has to be the same size or

shape, not every chair has to be arranged the

exact same way.不是所有的课桌都是相同的尺寸和形状，也不是所有的椅子都按相同的次序排列。

Be creative in the choices that you make, to construct that ideal learning

environment. 创造性的安排这些，建设成理想的学习环境。

>> The Milpitas district here in

California is

actually a great example of that sort of creativity.

加利福尼亚的Milpitas学校是这种创造性的学校的好榜样。

And we mentioned how they put in stadium

seating with just wood cubes.

我们提到过他们使用木质立方体座位

And they created a cafe in one part of the

room, and bean bags in the other.

他们还在房间中设置了小咖啡厅，还在其他地方放置了沙包。

And the superintendent was telling us how

the students actually

run to the classroom, to get their

favorite kind of seating.

负责人告诉我们学生们是怎样到教室选择他们喜欢的作为的。

And it just shows you that the elements of

choice, and a little bit of an excited learning environment,, can really help support your blended learning program.

这显示了选择的自然性，这是一个可以让人兴奋的学习环境，能够支持你的混合型学习项目。

>> The furniture that we're using in

the

learning centers it's a lot of furniture

on wheels.我们在学习中心使用的桌椅大部分是带轮子的，

That's as

much as we can, we want our furnitures

that are flexible and movable.这样比较灵活，移动起来较为方便。

the, the, the primary tool that we're

looking at in the

labs is tables, small tables where you can group four of them.

实验室最主要的是桌子，你可以吧每四个桌子分为一组。

because I think a group of four is

optimal. 我认为四个一组是最佳组合。

Chairs that are easy to move. 椅子移动起来是比较容易的。

I saw something this morning where there's

different heights.各部分高低不同，

And what's nice about that is from a

supervision standpoint, you really can

see what's going on.这样，从管理者的角度能够清楚的观察到每个角落。

Is a whole nother, it's like a

amphitheater feel.看起来像阶梯式的剧场。

>> I also love how Summit has evolved

in this regard, Brian.我还很喜欢Summit在这点上的演变。

If you went back last year when they

were debuting this flex and blended

learning model near

San Jose School, what you saw is that the

environment took place in what we call

portable classrooms.

去年它们在San Jose学校附近首次展示的混合型学习模式是我们称之为“便携式教室”的环境设置。

Basically temporary spaces, that are sort

of adjacent to the brick and mortar school

building.基本上是一个临时的学习空间，是一个有很多砖墙的学校。

And they're actually pretty popular in

California.它们在加利福尼亚相当流行。

And what they realized is that they could

remove some walls in these spaces that weren't

load bearing.它们意识到它们可以拆除一些墙。

Which allowed them to create much more

open learning environments.

这样就可以创造出更大更开放的学习环境。

But, they were still a little boring and

staid, 即使这样，还是有一些枯燥和保守。

and they evolved over the course of the

year.一年中，他们在逐渐的改变。

And, then of course this year, you've seen

in the, in the footage how much more

colorful

and what sorts of design choices they've

made,

to make that learning environment really

come to life.今年，他们使这个学习环境更多彩，更丰富，更有生机，更贴近生活。

>> And this is that iterative idea that we've been talking about before, right? 这就是我们讨论的不断反复的想法。

If you had seen Summit last year, you would've thought this might be the ugliest learning environment in California.如果去年你见到Summit学校，你会认为这是加利福尼亚最难看的学校。

And then you came back a few weeks later,

and it went

from rows of tables to chairs to let's

stagger where the rows are. 几周之后，一排排的桌椅发生了变化。

And then they said let's put in some

higher seating.他们添加了更高的座位。

Let's put in some color.添加了颜色。

Let's put in a monitor on the wall.在墙壁上安装了监控设施。

And over the course of literally one year,

it went from being a

room that you might have run from, to

being a place that you

could really see being an effective

learning environment.一年的时间，它从一个让你想逃跑的房间变成了一个能够进行有效学习的空间。

And, they did that through feedback from

their students, asking them what

works for you, and being bold and thinking

about space very differently.他们所作的这些都是通过学生的反馈来完成的，他们调查了什么对学生学习有效，什么能让学生变得勇敢，什么能够让学生思考。

>> So, student ownership matters.所以，以学生为本很重要。

>> Yep.

>> Space matters a lot in this work.在这项工作中，空间的作用很大。

And we knew that from the beginning, but we didn't know exactly how.

 这一点我们一开始就知道，当时我们知道的并不确切。

And we didn't know what was going to make

a difference. 我们也不知道怎么让它变得不一样。

And so when we first set out to do

this, we actually thought if we tear down

the walls and let kids sort of be in an open space.

在我们开始实施这项工作时， 我们确实应该好好想一想我们是否需要把墙拆除来让学生拥有更开放的空间。

But then we didn't have enough resources

or thought into the actual furniture.接下来，我们在桌椅设施上没有足够的资源和想法。

And, so we ended up leasing this furniture

that were

these big long tables that were really

hard to move.那么我们就不要再用那些很难移动的大桌子了。

And essentially, they became these giant

rows that were dark and dingy in color.确实，这样的桌椅构成了那种颜色暗淡乏味的排列。

And it made the space feel very cavernous

and it actually set us back.这是学习空间让人感到大而深。

Because the feeling in there, was not

consistent

with our principles and our values of

learning.在我们的学习原则和价值中，这种感觉并不是持续的。

And so we quickly had to iterate on that.所以我们对此反复声明。

And so we worked on how do we think about

space and we asked the kids that. 我们继续思考或是询问孩子们关于空间布局的话题

And what, what we realized is we wanted 我们认识到：

space that was much more sort of collaborative

in nature. 我们期望的空间布局是多样的在自然条件下协作完成的

Much more comfortable. 更加舒服的

Much more mobile. 更加易于移动的

Much more. 更多的。。。

And so what we ended up bring in were a 最后带给大家的是

bunch of different trial pieces. 一些测试页

Where we have a little cluster of chairs 有少许的椅子和可以动的白板

and a whiteboard here and more flexible.

>> So we know that this isn't a comprehensive look

into how to redesign your school space for

blended learning. 这并不是为了进行混合式学习 重新设计学校的空间的全面的观察

But like everything in this course, the 但是如同本课程的每一件事情一样

big message that Brian and I are 我和Brian试图给大家的一个巨大的消息是

trying to convey, is throw away your

existing assumptions about how this has to 抛开你固有的假设

look.

About how we have to have traditional

classrooms and

so forth.关于传统教室和第四

And instead really let the learning

environment

you're trying to create, drive your design 创造好的学习环境

decisions. 驱使你的设计决定

Don't compromise on that before you've

actually asked that question, and 不要妥协你之前的问题

figure out how much freedom you really

have to shape this environment. 而是指出外形这个环境带来多么大的自由呀

>> This is where we want to hear from

you. 这是我们想从你那听到的

The discussion board of all 13,000 of your

brains is 你们13000个大脑的讨论板是：比我们想出来的好得多得多

going to be much better than what we can

come up with.

So you're about to see a popup link 接下来你将看到一个链接

that's going to take you right into the

discussion forum. 带你进入一个论坛

We want your ideas

about what would make for great learning

environments.我们想知道你们的主意关于学习环境要做些什么

And even better, we'd love for you to go 更进一步，你们可以从网上找到一些图片

out on the Web and find some pictures.

Or if you're in schools, or you know of 或是在学校 或是知道的学校做的好的

schools that are doing this

well, put a link to a video that you have

or upload a photo. 发个链接或是上传照片

We can only imagine if we had 100, 200, 想象我们有100 200 300个例子

300 good examples, what the conversation

could look like. 我们的对话将是什么样的

So, it's in your hands. 因此，在于你

Give us some good learning environments. 给我们好的学习环境

Whether you have them now, or whether you

go out and

do a little Web research, and find 无论是你知道的 或是从网上搜到的

something good to share. 一起来分享吧
