Perpetual Motion in Room 17: Time-lapse video



What can we learn from this?  What were some of the themes, movement patterns?
What were some of the most popular spaces?  Were these areas popular because the
micro-environment was inviting?  How and in what way does the design of the classroom (desk placement and other static features) affect the  movement and shape of the class?  How much do the activities and teacher instructions influence the clusters, movement, and shape of the class?

One thing is clear, many of the students movement needs are encouraged and fulfilled.

Thank you Pamela Kennedy for sharing this fascinating and entertaining video.

Generation Yes: http://genyes.org/

Project-Based Learning

All Generation YES programs involve students designing, constructing, and assessing projects aligned to student and teacher learning.

Student Tech Leaders

We believe that teams of well-prepared K-12 students are the key strategy for realizing meaningful technology integration. All Generation YES programs have STLs at the center.



Tech Integration

Providing support and resources to schools using technology for improved learning opportunities and academic achievement is a primary goal of the nonprofit Generation YES.

Data Collection & Assessment

Guided authentic assessment and reporting provides students with feedback and educators with solid data on student progress.
