Public Sticky notes
Free design means that not only is instruction first, but perceptions are not influenced in any preset manner but are totally open to the influence of the learning process and the dynamics of direct communication and interaction.

So while we are implementing more new technologies that are flexible and mobile, it is important for us to examine the learning spaces within which students use that technology. Do we seem to be conflicted or caught between two worlds? As long as we retain the idea that the flow of information is from the teacher while students are the receivers of this information, we will never maximize the potential of new technology that can support students being front and center of the process and continuous participants in their own and the collaborative learning of the group. Teachers must begin to really understand that learning can now be continuous and without boundaries, and learning environments should look like we believe it.
