Iteration of Building the Plan

Clicking image below will open my revised Linoit board for the Learning Commons redesign plan in a new window. Included on the board is the current floor plan and video of the current layout. I found that the Linoit program was somewhat limiting in that I could not make the floor plan bigger, so it is hard to read- please see the image below the Linoit board for a better version of the floor plan. 

To create my redesign plan, I used the feedback from the teachers who responded to my survey, asked some of the students in my Social Studies 10 class, and a few colleagues.

Explanation of Revisions:

1. I followed Kathryn's advice in the comment on my original post and made the Youtube video playable within the Linoit board. I put a sticky note instruction to press play, so that it will play on the board. 

2. I followed Becky's advice and moved the professional skill development sticky to make it easier to see. 

3. I added an additional physical space sticky with more information- I would like to move three computer stations into the Creation Station for maker use, which would allow for more space for students who bring their own laptops.

4. I added an additional curriculum sticky to further explain improvements to the Creation Station that would support students' independent ADST learning.

5. I moved all the stickies around to make the board easier to read and changed the font size and colour of the Design Challenge statement to make it stand out more.

The following posts provide further detail in the learning commons' current design and areas in need of improvement:
