"Classroom" Design for the 21st Century

We've abandoned the word, classroom, for our new space.  The new name for our space is the Learning Studio.  Within the studio are small and large spaces.  The photo album below has images of the Studio from August 15 to August 24.  

What was in the old space?

  • computer lab
  • library
  • media staff office
  • EL staff office
  • guided reading library
  • classroom (which was formerly the computer lab)
  • classroom (which was part of the library)
What is in the new space?
  • messy work area with a sink
  • recording studio/quiet work area
  • glass-enclosed space for ???  
  • flexible teaching and learning spaces
  • TBD - our students will tell us what they want
Where is the library?
  • part of it is in a storage room
  • part of it is in the band room
  • students and teachers will still have access to books
Where is the computer lab?
  • Studio will have @30 desktops and 15 iPads
  • Other classrooms will share laptop carts
