Using Buildings and places

http://www.engagingplaces.org.uk/home

Engaging Places is brought to us by the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment (CABE) in partnership with English Heritage.

This site provides ideas and resources for extending teaching beyond the classroom, both physically and metaphorically.
As someone who has worked with English Heritage and the National Trust, I am aware of the work these organisations are making to engage in a dialogue with schools and educational institutions. This site showcases some examples of this dialogue, as well as providing practical examples of how to use buildings and places to enhance learning. As this site grows I feel the resources will become even richer, certainly a site worth keeping ones eyes on.
