Jeff Lackney shared with us a few weeks back that he had launched a new school design oriented blog to support the School Design Research Studio.

Been wonderful to see it gain momentum since his first post in January. A couple of his blog posts that particularly caught our attention include:

• “Lost in Translation” in which he details a trip to explore school design in Japan this past summer
• “12 Design Principles Based on Brain-Based Learning Research” in which he highlights the key take-aways from a Randy Fielding presentation
• “Children, Youth and Environments” in which Jeff reminds us to keep track of a wonderful Boulder, Colorado based organization that really focuses on research central to our work in developing innovative learning environments that support healthy kids
• “Virtual Worlds, Learning and Games” in which Jeff takes a look at University of Wisconsin (and beyond) research into compelling new theories certain to impact the way we imagine where a ’school’ facility will exist in the future
• “Sustainability for Children” in which Jeff discusses an amazing and inspired new organization
• “Collaborative Learning” in which Jeff asks how educators and architects can support new practices of collaborative learning
• “TED Conferences” in which Jeff daydreams about one day attending the TED Conference (like so many of us!)

Definitely check out Jeff’s blogging on behalf of the School Design Research Studio. If you like, you can even subscribe to his regular blog entries.
