Chapter for in Education Nation is called The Time/Place Edge: Learning Anytime, Anywhere. Education isn’t just learning in schools but it needs to be taking place everywhere a student goes. It shouldn’t just happen when school is in session and stop when the final bell rings. Here are the five main points that I think were the most important in this chapter.
- Since children have to travel far to and from school, internet that is available on buses has shown that students are able to continue learning.
- Learning doesn’t have to happen just at school. After school programs are a great way to continue learning and a different way of learning.
- Summer can be “the third semester”. If students were able to continue learning throughout the summer, their knowledge improves greatly compared to students that don’t learn in the summer.
- Place-based learning allows students to see how their studies apply to real life. It permits students to go to different places in their community such as museums, parks, historic sites and even National Parks.
- The design of school buildings is similar to prison cells. Classrooms need to represent learning.
