Thinking about seating - 3 places for kids to sit. Be mindful of seating matters.
Technology Integration Coach, following along for first time.
I still using seating charts but I don't actually like to make them, would love to have more spaces for Ss to move around
Seating charts really aren't needed in a student centered/innovative environment. Teach students about variety of spaces.
Student voice need to be added to redesigning learning spaces!
"Adults are solving students' problems that they don't even have." Let students have a voice! This is great!
So important to teach students the procedures to various learning spaces - hallways, classroom, etc..
Flexibility, everything mobile, light and easy to reconfigure
"Remind students that there is a time for choice and a time there is no choice. If you promise them a choice, let them have it"

Multitasking means screwing up several things at once.
Encouraging to hear talk about influence of in their personalized learning space transformation
Redesigning learning spaces is a work in progress.
What type of spaces do you see something innovative? Look around your school. Do you see it when desks are in rows?
How about looking at classroom library? Ts can have Ss help organize.
If I were in the classroom today I would not spend countless hrs in summer "decorating my classroom." We'd do together as class.
Desk Cycles are great for adding movement fhttp://amzn.to/21bjQqc
will be starting in 15m, stop on by
It's home! And we move things around all the time. Never seems to look the same
Makerspace should not just be another computer classroom.
Thanks. We like it. We can rearrange for the need of the moment
Quite True, We need to make making just part of the curriculum.
Ts should be taking those tool to their curriculum. I have worked with a lot of schools this spring to do this.
YES - take down the stuff! Less is more. I was SO GUILTY of this and it wasn't what made a difference.
Ha... I have way too much stuff on my walls. Thoughts for what to change next year
If you don’t refer to the items on your wall then they should not be on the wall.
There is so much research on soft environments rather than bright colors in the classroom. Make it homey.
The blandest places on the planet are on the walls of University classrooms
Cost. Fire Marshal. Principal. are often excuses. We are IOWA. Build it and they will come! Where there is a will there is a way.
Hey your question was discussed on tonight by . Thanks for connecting!
If you don't refer to the things on the wall, they shouldn't be on the wall.
LESS IS MORE! If you don't refer to things on classroom walls, they don't belong there. SO TRUE!
Redesigning learning space takes imagination. is a must follow to see!
Redesigning learning spaces is more than making it pretty. - Good point.
See you all later. Good to see you,
