Learning Commons

Welcome To Dr. Probe's Learning Commons!

 

Welcome to the Learning Commons. A learning commons is an inclusive, flexible, learner-centered, physical or virtual space for collaboration, inquiry, imagination, and play.  We are excited to continue to see our Makerspace grow and for students to develop their skills as "makers" both in the Learning Commons and in the classroom. Please feel free to access the following link to view the Dr. Probe Learning Commons website:
