Q1 What does your classroom look like? How are desks, chairs and workspaces arranged? What's on the walls? #edsurgechat

#EdSurgeChat A1a For the past 18 months or so my classroom looks a lot like Adobe Connect.. PD webinars for clinicians. 1 person, 1 PC or..

aneesadav Oct 17 @ 8:08 PM EDT

How many ed chats are happening right now? #edsurgechat #cohort21 #tnedchat

In reply to @DerekDoucet1, @trollwag

aschoenborn Oct 17 @ 8:08 PM EDT

A1: Ashamed to say walls are white. Our district doesn't give many options. Desks are in workshop stations. #edsurgechat

urbie Oct 17 @ 8:09 PM EDT

#EdSurgeChat A1b Many healthcare providers don’t have their own PCs.. so oftentimes a webinar is 10 or more in a dark room with a big screen

A1: Rows...Old School! My walls are covered with Sts work! #edsurgechat

aneesadav Oct 17 @ 8:12 PM EDT

And in Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio there's an emphasis on "beautiful" spaces... and by that I think they mean not cluttered #edsurgechat 2/?

VIPs? Does that mean what I think it means? #edsurgechat #dontknowallthelingo

In reply to @DrGodard

So maybe there's something to be said for white walls? #edsurgechat 3/3

In reply to @aschoenborn

mrhooker Oct 17 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 - Our classrooms look like a wide variety of spaces. Flexible furniture on wheels, pub tables, and some traditional spaces. #edsurgechat

AzulZR Oct 17 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A1 my last year in the classroom desks were in pairs and in 4s. Art work and S work on walls #edsurgechat

EdSurge Oct 17 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Q2 coming up in 1 minute… #edsurgechat

aneesadav Oct 17 @ 8:14 PM EDT

Wondering how frequently folks redesign what their classrooms look like. Annually? Hourly? #edsurgechat

JeriAsaro Oct 17 @ 8:14 PM EDT

#edsurgechat @EdSurge My CR is colorful. S voice is there! Each S is represented & a Ss quote bed is up. Desks/spaces change every day.

In reply to @mrhooker

_TeacherX Oct 17 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A1: Recently heard critique of classroom walls. Gist of the argument. Not judging. Just wondering. https://t.co/uAkD1eEnP5 #edsurgechat

mrhooker Oct 17 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 - When we look to redesigning spaces, we ask teachers to apply and explain how their pedagogical practice will change. #edsurgechat

Welcome to #edsurgechat! I'm a lover of Vegas.

In reply to @SJteaches

mshaleypalmer Oct 17 @ 8:18 PM EDT

@DerekDoucet1 a good reflection topic, I may save this for some inspiration later. #Cohort21 #edsurgechat

mrjtweeter Oct 17 @ 8:18 PM EDT

I've always taught more than one grade level. So I consider the needs of different grades and think about relevant info for all #edsurgechat

GailKMoore Oct 17 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2: Definitely Ss as the designers..letting them own what works for them #edsurgechat

EdSurge Oct 17 @ 8:15 PM EDT

Q2 What pedagogical considerations go into your decisions when designing your classroom? #edsurgechat

MomOfAllCapes Oct 17 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Was just about to ask. #edsurgechat

In reply to @aneesadav, @mrhooker

mrhooker Oct 17 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A2 - Much like adding devices, changing furniture doesn’t necessarily mean a change in teaching practice. #edsurgechat

StrifflerTeach8 Oct 17 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Class size not conducive to other arrangement. Plus desks are attached to chairs, but Sts can see me. I can move a little. #edsurgechat

AzulZR Oct 17 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2 tried to partner various skill levels and introverts/extroverts. #edsurgechat

DrGodard Oct 17 @ 8:19 PM EDT

Visual Insruction Plans...no #toolsforteaching Fred Jones fans I guess. They let Ss be more independent #edsurgechat

A1 four-person standing tables on wheels capable of getting power from the ceiling. Ss projects scattered on counters & walls. #edsurgechat

mijosano Oct 17 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Something to be said for those white walls @aschoenborn @aneesadav #edsurgechat

In reply to @_TeacherX, @aschoenborn, @aneesadav

mrhooker Oct 17 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Yes - Teacher sets it up on a rotation. The students determine the most fair method to try all the spaces evenly. #Edsurgechat

In reply to @mijosano

DrGodard Oct 17 @ 8:21 PM EDT

I have the attached chair desks too. Hate them! #edsurgechat

In reply to @StrifflerTeach8

Rdene915 Oct 17 @ 8:21 PM EDT

My desks are attached too, wish were smaller or separate, but making it work and Ss also decide to go to floor, their choice :) #edsurgechat

#EdSurgeChat A2a Several things drive design.. problems/opportunities in healthcare, minimizing provider time away from patients. +

MikeRussRuss Oct 17 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 Tricky balance of a lab, makerspace, & classroom all at once. Need to be able to lecture, build, & experiment in same space. #edsurgechat

EdSurge Oct 17 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Q3 What constrictions—physical, safety, administrative, legal—limit yr flexibility when you decide how to arrange yr classroom? #edsurgechat

DrGodard Oct 17 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A2. S needs...clutter, noise, space, # of Ss, rotations, technology needs, ease of collaboration #edsurgechat

In reply to @EdSurge

I bet having that experience helps you remember to question your assumptions #edsurgechat

In reply to @mrjtweeter

Rdene915 Oct 17 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3 the desks/chairs size, not many options to spread around, and cabinets in back of room, would love some rolling desks/chairs #edsurgechat

In reply to @EdSurge

effortfuleduktr Oct 17 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A3 - Size classroom, I have to use tables, # of students... #edsurgechat

EdSurge Oct 17 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Q3 What constrictions—physical, safety, administrative, legal—limit yr flexibility when you decide how to arrange yr classroom? #edsurgechat

trollwag Oct 17 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: Safety when it comes to the science class. Although, our recent purchase of moveable benches/desks has added flexibility! #edsurgechat

In reply to @EdSurge

As I was preparing these Qs I was acutely aware that today is the anniversary of the 1989 earthquake here in the Bay Area #edsurgechat

In reply to @EdSurge

_TeacherX Oct 17 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: Boring but essential: electricity. 220...221... whatever it takes.#edsurgechat

DrGodard Oct 17 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3 we have Ss and subs in wheelchairs so aisles and space...no cords not taped #edsurgechat

In reply to @EdSurge

mrjtweeter Oct 17 @ 8:26 PM EDT

There are obviously things to consider like safety, legal etc. I don't so much think of those as constraints... just reality. #edsurgechat

aneesadav Oct 17 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Were you able to make it to our #edsurgechat on introverted/extroverted students a while back?

In reply to @AzulZR

mrhooker Oct 17 @ 8:27 PM EDT

Ha! The teacher @cowanclassroom is really the genius behind this one. She uses IKEA, CraigsList, and some flair to make it work.#edsurgechat

In reply to @mijosano, @aneesadav, @CowanClassroom

mrjtweeter Oct 17 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3 - setting up the seating to be conducive to all learners one of the biggest considerations.And making the most of the space #edsurgechat
