2.00 - 3.00 | Inspired Learning Spaces Flexible learning spaces that integrate technology and offer seating that meets diverse needs are central to Kevin’s advice on why school libraries must deliver a point of difference over classrooms. It is simply not enough to replicate what exists elsewhere or what we have delivered in the past. To bolster his advice on reinvigorating the image of school libraries, Kevin also promises to deliver plenty of impressive and contemporary ideas on budget makeovers |
