As I think of the relationship between the learning environment and play, it reminds of the chicken and the egg argument.  Which one came first?  Do we need a well thought out learning space design to bring about play?  Does play shape the way the learning space is designed?  Hmm…which way do you look at it? 

In this episode, we are going to look at different learning space designs and how they encourage or stop meaningful play from happening.
