Blinded by the light

Marshall McLuhan once famously said that a light bulb is a type of media. This post looks at the claim that lighting can have an impact on learning outcomes. I would believe it - put me in a dark room with no sunlight and trees, and I wilt. Mike in New Zealand writes, "'The Education Ministry's website says evidence suggests learning outcomes improve in spaces that have daylight as the main source of lighting.' So embrace classroom 'windows' (the first time a Mac guy like me has said that) and don't think that the Philips Company is going to lift student achievement any more than an interactive whiteboard company will." Fair enough. The blog post has a pretty good soundtrack, too.
