s education an industrial
method best solved by a repetitive
assembly-line approach about
producing students? Historically,
education has been delivered with an
instructor at the front of a classroom
and students lined up in rows of desks
following along. When it comes to
education and how students interact
with their environment, it's important
to understand how learning styles vary
between individual students.
Educational planning and the school
environment have to change to stay ahead
of the demands of a technologically
advanced generation. Customizing
education toward a student's needs and
customizing spaces that will support this
refinement are quickly emerging.
Aside from the occasional increased
use of technology in the classroom with
teachers using social media tools like
Twitter and Edmodo to communicate
with students, there are other influences
beginning to change the shape of
education, literally.
