Week 10 Tutorial

In the tutorial Dan showed us a video (attached below) which showed how to effectively present an idea through video montages, panning and zoom in conjunction with clear and concise drawing styles. The video also showed the importance of incorporating a hands on learning style for the children who will be using the proposed building and introducing a specific style of learning that caters to specific learning styles and academic levels of kids in primary school. 

The video discusses how the education system is out of date and unrealistic for the students of our time. The idea that some people are either academic (smart) or non-academic (not smart) is completely false and is derived only from the old style of teaching that is seen in most schools across the globe.

The video also talks about the mass epidemic of children being diagnosed with ADHD across America, which is also the case in Australia. This issue correlates directly to my proposed building design as it sparks thoughts of possible learning styles that will keep the attention span of all children in the class and not just the 'academic' ones. Interactive and Experiential Learning are two main ideas to draw from the video, which interestingly enough ties into my overall concepts perfectly.
