Technology and the 21st-Century Learning Space
We were asked to designs our ideal classroom and collaborative space. Designing an ideal classroom with no budget and only 25 students is a dream but not at all realistic (especially because a few of my classes are over 45 students). But it is nice to dream! ;)
We were asked to consider the following pieces for our designs:
- Accessibility
- Electrical access
- Private and collaborative space
- Display/work surfaces
- Connectivity options
- Classroom technology(e.g., software, individual computing devices (mobile?), headphones, document camera/s, audio system, projection device/s, black & white/color/3D printer/s, copier/s, digital camera/s, wearable technologies, video conferencing equipment, recording equipment, interactive whiteboard/s & presentation station/podium)
- Classroom environment(i.e., lighting, colors & classroom furniture)
- Support for active learning
- Learning styles
- Goals for teaching and learning
- Student engagement
After looking at the options and the fact that there was NO LIMIT to the amount we could spend, it was exciting to put something like this together.
