"Twenty-first century learning theories emphasise the importance of supporting authentic and ubiquitous (anywhere, anyhow) learning, and providing students with opportunities, resources and spaces to develop their creative and critical thinking skills" (Newton and Fisher, 2009; McGuinness, 1999, 2010, as cited in the Australian Curriculum-Critical and Creative Thinking-Background, 2015)

enriching the learning experience for 
students and teachers
We are educating our students "to become successful learners, confident and creative individuals, and active and informed citizens". (Melbourne Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs, 2008).
ADVANTAGES - Communities of Practice (CoP) opportunities-share ideas, knowledge, experience and feedback with others with a common goal to enhance and improve learning. (Smith, 2009)
Beyond 
THE Classroom

CHALLENGES - coordination with relevant "experts" to establish ongoing interactions; cost. 
BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
vertical
ADVANTAGES - Learning beyond the classroom doesn't have to revolve around incursions or excursions alone. 
This learning space can provide much broader learning experiences.

CHALLENGES - Locating and establishing suitable external contacts/"experts"; locating and utilising suitable technology for the ongoing interactions necessary to create genuine Communities of Practice.

ADVANTAGES - Learning with technology allows students to
"create innovative solutions, independently and collaboratively, that meet current and future needs. (Australian Curriculum, 2010).

CHALLENGES - staying up-to-date with suitable technology; cost; access; equity.

GROUP LEARNING SPACES
"Learning environments for the 21st Century must be ones in which students are actively engaged with learning tasks and with each other." (Slavin. 2010. p.173 ) 
vertical

ADVANTAGES - group goals and individual accountability allow students to "master traditional skills and knowledge as well as develop the creative and interactive skills needed in today's economy and society " (Slavin, 2010, p. 173).

CHALLENGES - design of suitable activities; ensuring all students are actively participating; inclusion of students with additional learning needs.

GROUP LEARNING SPACES
ADVANTAGES - incorporation of flexible teaching practices can provide group learning
 as  differentiated learning experiences. 

CHALLENGES - lack of appropriate space and insufficient teacher numbers to cater for valuable differentiated group learning; conflicting personalities and teaching styles between teaching staff.
