When you think of a classroom, what image comes to your mind? do you recall your own school? if you ask your grandparent about how their classroom looked, what would they describe? How much do you think learning has changed in the last 100 years and how much does a seating arrangement in a classroom reflect that? here are some images and thoughts of a modern classroom. Let me know what you think of that.
In the showcase section, you will find the link to register for my self-paced course on re-imagining the seating arrangement in your existing classroom that will have an impact on student learning and engagement in the class.
