Some interesting coffee discussions about the flexibility of classroom furniture when using Laptops! It is always a problem that the classroom furniture design/layout:
- is usually set by the ‘home class’ teacher, or other influence- change it and they will come… and yell at you!
- can dictate the teaching approach (epistemology). Lecture structure and group work approach mmmm?
- needs to be changed to compliment the lesson
- computer learning spaces are secured, bolted or cabled down
L4L will: enable teachers, students and ‘computer learning spaces to be flexible:
- Pod arrangement- group work?
- Lecture style?
- Debating, face off? (Jeopardy)
- Clear tables and chairs to work on the floor?
*Just make sure you put ‘em back the way they were… or you’ll get yelled at.
Grapes are my preferred medium for discussing L4L, although coffee does represent a compromise
