#miched Archive

The #michED chat is a grassroots effort dedicated to giving teachers, students, and parents across Michigan a bigger voice in the conversation about education in our state. We welcome all voices through a variety of projects, media, and social networking. We’re trying to address educational issues through apolitical conversation, spreading ideas and stories of success from Michigan classrooms across the state, and helping teachers and students regain the courage to connect and demonstrate that schools in Michigan are creating amazing opportunities for learning. We want the face and voice of education in Michigan to be a mural of shared experiences and positive examples of connected learning.

      Q2 When discussing learning spaces, I often hear about barriers. What is one barrier you face with your space? #michED
  • blocht574 Aug 16 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    A2: Barrier: Lack of wall space: Room has wood cabinets on 3 walls and white board on the other Almost Zero wall space #michED
  • CarrieAnnTripp Aug 16 @ 8:14 PM EDT
    Electric outlets. Shape & size of room. Limited funds for furniture. #miched

  • NoviAcademics Aug 16 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    A2 The biggest barrier is the constraints we put on ourselves as to what a learning space "should" look like #BeLearnerCentered #MichED
  • DreaWeiner Aug 16 @ 8:18 PM EDT
    Yes, I'm not even sure what to expect. I have a feeling I'm going to have to be more flexible than I realize. #MichEd

    Chris from Allegan joining #miched late tonight. Summer bedtimes for the kid. #readingwithson for the win
  • blocht574 Aug 16 @ 8:21 PM EDT
    A3: Small room: Change the space up frequently and find outside spaces to do the "larger" instruction: Outside is good in fall #miched
  • techsavvyed Aug 16 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A3: Often the lack of flexibility for many in classroom design is solved when inviting students to help design it. #michED
  • sarahmomof3boys Aug 16 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A3: lack of wall space: mini "cheat sheets" of strategies laminated & in baskets for Ss to grab when working on specific topic #miched
  • blocht574 Aug 16 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    Good idea! I fly balloon rockets across strings so can use them to hand work! Thanks #michED

    Miggity Matt joining late, good to see you all and love the topic! #miched
  • conrad_chris Aug 16 @ 8:23 PM EDT
    A3: My room: individual traditional desks for Ss (I group 4 facing each other). Need to be intentional about diff desk arrangements. #miched
  • blocht574 Aug 16 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    Students are the key to any of our designs! Need ask them how they would redo any of our spaces ... #miched
    In reply to @techsavvyed
  • sarahmomof3boys Aug 16 @ 8:24 PM EDT
    A3: also for lack of wall space I like the idea of a clothesline to hang strategies on & switch it out #miched

    A4: Can you learn when you are uncomfortable? ... Comfort is a key to focus ... Need a space where students find comfort #miched
  • sarahmomof3boys Aug 16 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A4: Ss need to feel safe & comfortable in order to learn. Ss also need to work in a position that works for them #miched
  • mcculloughmg Aug 16 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    Without a learning space conducive to Ss learning where they feel included, school just HAPPENS to them instead of with them. #miched
  • NoviAcademics Aug 16 @ 8:28 PM EDT
    A4 Learning spaces show respect for our students without having to say a word. #MichED
  • DreaWeiner Aug 16 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    A4: If you don't have a safe and healthy learning space Ts won't be setting their Ss up for success. #MichEd
  • sarahmomof3boys Aug 16 @ 8:29 PM EDT
    And Ts need to be aware that what works for 1 S won't work for all Ss #miched
    In reply to @blocht574
  • blocht574 Aug 16 @ 8:30 PM EDT
    That is so true: Schools need spaces where students can work freely and comfortably (outside of classroom ) #miched

  • CarrieAnnTripp Aug 16 @ 8:40 PM EDT
    A5: Specific use of color & patterns rather than everything too busy. Focus on S needs rather than Pinterest worthy space. #miched
  • conrad_chris Aug 16 @ 8:41 PM EDT
    A5: Yes norms&respect. I like for decor to help set the atmosphere. A good mix of useful info and humor for me. #miched
