Create Zone - Future Classroom LabThe future classroom allows the students to plan, design, and produce their own work - for example, a multimedia production or a presentation. In the Create zone, simple repetition of information is not enough: students work with real knowledge-building activities. Interpretation, analysis, teamwork, and evaluation are important parts of the creative process.
