1. How does our school setting show growth from past models of what school used to look like? Do we need to update where we are? How?

2. How does our school or setting reflect the axiom of form should follow function?

3. What is the interplay and connection among form, program structures, schedules, grouping of students grouping of professionals, and space? Is it evident in our setting? Should and could that be changed? How?

Questions for Discussion are:

1. Are there ways in which cloud computing can positively impact our current teaching and learning environment? How?

3. What are the ramifications on privacy?
