EDU 653 - Week 7 (Post 1) - 8 Tips and Tricks to Redesign Your Classroom

When originally viewing this article, I thought it would be mostly about changing the learning focus of a classroom from a traditional method to something more along the flipped concept. Although I was wrong, this article is particularly interesting as it discusses a re-model of your classroom and how to make it work. When thinking about any classroom centered project, particularly with technology, I've come to the conclusion that most of the success or failure happens in the prep work. The same is true for any project, particularly when you're dealing with kids.

This article goes in deep to help you come up with a classroom re-design plan that makes sense by not only supporting the students but making them part of designing their own learning space. With the popularization of "remodel" and "remake" shows on TV, I think a classroom facelift can be a great idea to really help engage and excite the students. This article goes a long way to helping support and making that project successful. Worth a read!
