classroom structure
Recreating the physical structure of a classroom
Posted by David Wees on Mar 2, 2010
A typical classroom might look something like this. The problem with this arrangement that I see is that almost no one actually works under this arrangement. Why not? It's distracting! this is similar to the layout in a lot of teacher staff rooms, and it is my experience that very little work happens in the staff room when it is full. There are too many people around and too many things to see and do.
