Administration will meet with students, coaches, teachers, parents directly impacted with the creation of the "Learning Zones" versus isolated labs. This idea of "Zones" evolved after speaking with students who shared in their opinion a "lab is where you sit and work on computers". Older students shared that RSP was for "dummies". They enlightened me when they told me about a "Fun Zone" where they go have fun and learn. Hmmmm...a fun, learning zone. Let them have Learning Zones!
