District 64 invites you to visit our classrooms via videos showcasing 21st century learning. A new webpage has been created to showcase the latest offerings.
Two new videos created by Lincoln Middle School students and staff were shared at the October 24, 2016 Board of Education meeting to illustrate how spaces are being transformed as future-ready learning environments:
- Visit the newly refurbished Discover-Empower-Network (DEN) broadcasting studio, adjacent innovation lab, and learning lounge, which were updated with a $55,000 grant of furnishings from Bretford to help District 64 realize this vision.
- Funded by a 2016 ELF grant, Room 211 was transformed into an active and flexible learning environment. The standard classroom now offers multiple learning configurations to accommodate the many ways students today create, collaborate, communicate and engage in critical thinking in their learning.
The tour of these spaces was part of a broader report on how District 64 recognizes the "Power of Place" in the way students learn and teachers teach. The District is working to respect the richness of the District's architectural history (with some buildings dating to 1928), while creating classrooms that ignite learning and innovation in the modern age.
