A1 Follow that Mr Pibb drenched camaradie w "hey, tell me about your room set up; what made you think to set it up like this? I'm super curious" #ADEchat
A2 The more responsive the environment to the needs of the learners operating within it? the more likely that environment is to assist in the learners achieving their goals #adechat
I lOVE that last one, "Hey, what sorts of space get you excited to teach? and get you excited to learn?" So often the rows aren't nefarious by intent; new Ts often afraid to break from tradition #adechat
absolutely! I was so happy with my last classroom; we had both structured & more casual environments in same room & could easily transform them #adechat
A3 Completely responsive, completely flexible; multiple types of seating, working, lighting; colors that both soothe & inspire; not too much variety as chaos breed chaos #intentionreigns#adechat
We've tried -- and I think somewhat successfully -- to design our new Success & Innovation Ctr to reflect rural/factory/repurposed/mill/steel/wood of our community & marry that w tech & forward thinking #picssoon#ADEchat
We are struggling because our overhead lights in new reclaimed space DON'T HAVE AN OFF! Contractors never installed. Relies only on motion. #arghface. #adechat
A5 Hunt yard sales/thrift store for interesting old chairs, end tables -- be picky; think about using old A/V carts & book shelves as dividers; @HarborFreight has CHEAP caster wheels #adechat
