Visible Community Learning

Students and teachers make the community the classroom, transforming the status of learning in communities.

Real World Application

The community becomes the classroom
Ubiquitous computing and wireless connectivity, embedded in physical environments, will turn physical places into aware contexts—environments that recognize people, information, and activities, and then respond appropriately. As place-based information becomes more accessible, educational services will be customized to place, making learning increasingly visible in the community.

The Environmental Charter High School in Lawndale, CA is an example of this. In the last 2 years they have transformed their physical campus to demonstrate sustainable practices..and make learning visible. The website address provided takes you to the service project part of the school. Green Ambassadors is a wonderful concept starting to catch on -- they had their first green charter school conference in summer '09.
