10th Annual 21st Century Learning Conference

Free running invites participants to use creativity, skill and strength to find new ways to navigate a landscape. It is fun, engaging and highly motivating for those who participate. It takes a space (urban or otherwise) and turns it on its head, drawing new functions from an existing, and very fixed, form. In much the same way, Free Learning aims to provide students with an intellectual landscape through which they can playfully discover their own path. It promotes creativity, independence, individuality, teamwork, freedom and taking responsibility. Experience has shown that the same approach that works for students can also promote better teacher learning as well.

In this presentation, participants will encounter the Free Learning story, come to understand its underpinnings, and experience a live Free Learning environment.
