A minha sala tem uma dimensão razoável para o número de alunos. Existe um computador ligado à Internet, um projector fixo no tecto e uma tela branca que recolhe. É possível organizar as mesas em grupo e passar pelo meio delas. No entanto, outros professores leccionam na mesma sala logo temos que arrumar as mesas no fim da aula.

I have a very big classroom with lot of computers, almost one computer per child. Next month, we will put a projector with a permanent monitor in the front wall next to my office. In the middle of the class I have created room for collaboration. Two desktops joined together with four chairs, so a small group can work alone if it’s necessary. The video (parts1-3) was an inspiration for me and I will try to find other tips to make my classroom environment more collaboration-friendly.

I work with knots. We have a large room, a lot of space for play and learning. Some of the furniture and fittings do not change their place, but they are and we can arrange the space freely. However, the places at the tables are permanent, at this age it is a good solution. Changing seats would cause a mess.

Although with a few tools we organize flexible spaces, depending on the activities we have the desks for collaborative learning, for the debate, etc. Starting from the month of May we will experiment classrooms with spaces already prepared and equipped - three classrooms for each class.

3 Classroom of Citizenship

My school is building a single flexible and multi-valued learning space where it will be easy to change the layout of the room quickly and easily and with differentiated pedagogical goals, where it will be easy to work in groups. As a rule I can not change my classroom much because I share with other classmates. If I change the position of the tables, I have to put them back in the starting position at the end of the lesson.

Our classrooms are enemy of personalized learning even I work in a private school. We have recourse but we need to decide together with other teachers, that is the hardest part. Classrooms are not available for making them more flexible or interactive, I use science laboratory for group works or hands on activities but all furniture is stationary in there, so I can’t make it flexible. Of course it inspires me, we are teachers when we see something useful and make difference in our students’ lives, they inspire us.

I just loved those videos; I think that from now on I will sit down and look at every aspect of my classroom before I even start the school year. In my case the "if you don't use it, toss it" was very useful advice, because I tend to keep everything and that makes the classroom and the shelves really messy.

In Portugal, in most schools, it is not the students who go to the teacher's room to have a class, but rather the opposite. It is the teachers who, every 45 or 90 minutes, change rooms to go to teach in the room that is assigned to each class.
As most teachers still prefer the "traditional" classroom organization, with students sitting in rows facing the board, the solution for creating collaborative spaces is to lose some of the time from the beginning of the lesson to drag furniture and part of the final time to restore everything as it was, without achieving great efficiency in the organization of people and spaces ...

Teachers in Turkey don't have their own classrooms, teachers go to the classroom of students at each lesson period therefore it is not easy to have a flexible classroom.

Interesting video, great ideas that could be useful o redesign the classrooms I use, but with the class teachers' permission... I get pupils to move into groups if their class isn't organised that was when I go in, but it would be easier if they were always sat in groups. Edutopia has given me some great ideas

# data[].attributes.body
The video is very interesting. In my school reality is very different. My school's classrooms are small and have only desks, arranged in rows, and traditional blackboards.
Although I try to move the desks to make pupils work in small groups, the environment is not favorable.
We should make it more welcoming by working in collaboration with other teachers on a more flexible arrangement of the desks.

# data[].attributes.body
Beautiful video that also motivates me as a teacher. Unfortunately, my school reality is a thousand light years away from what is seen in the video. My school's classrooms have only desks and chairs. The walls are dirty and in some classes there are some maps. At the wall is the traditional blackboard. I try to activate collaborative dynamics by moving the desks and making the students work in groups of 4. But the environment does not stimulate the study and pleasure of being in the classroom. Sometimes I write sentences that pupils hang on the wall .... but it is very very little compared to what it should be. I will try to talk with the school manager to see if it is possible to bring recycled material in the classroom and / or useful for a more stimulating environment to study.

The video was very inspiring. Sometimes we don't dedicate enough time to the arrangement of the class and it's a good idea to be able to vary it from time to time or find a suitable arrangement for different activities.

The space that my students and I have in is not in any way similar to those described in the video. However, the video is quite inspiring.

In my school there are no spaces with specific furniture and it is always very difficult to modify the configuration of the rooms.

For this reason, when I need more flexibility, I divide the classes into groups and the students can move from one place to another, go to the library or other spaces outside the classroom.

In order for this work to work, it is always necessary to coordinate the activities with the teacher librarian, or other teacher available.

Kindergarten classes provide learning centers with more flexible learning areas. however, in other levels, the number of students in the classroom is very high, so teachers could not provide learning areas and flexibility in the classroom. but it is still not impossible to make every point of the class into an active and functional space as we see in the video. I think we should get professional help.

# data[].attributes.body
I change the learning space according to the activities we are running. The classroom is very big (this is very unusual, we are lucky). We usually work in groups (5 teams - total 25 students). We realized this year an area for our "Book Club" with shelves made by the students, a sofa and pillows. We use this area for the "circle time", students can decide to stay there for developing projects.

The learning spaces that we have available are not that flexible and interactive. In Italian secondary schools teachers don’t usually have their own class but they move from one classroom to the other when they teach. And most of the teachers like the traditional setting so that’s the way classrooms are like. Whenever we move tables and chairs, we have to put them back as they were and this is time consuming.

But yes, the video was very inspiring and I’d like to use some ideas like finding a space where we can display and share ideas, for example. And I agree, if it’s tidy, it’s much easier to work in a place

# data[].attributes.body
In general, I don't see flexibility in the sense of learning spaces in schools and when students have to work in group, it takes a lot of time to organize everything. However, I consider that it is key to having access to flexible classroom furniture to achieve effective learning and collaborative work.

# data[].attributes.body
I have always preferred the U layout classrooms, but this type of organization is not always possible because of the size of the classroom, the school furniture and the number of students. Although not always the U layout is the most suitable, it is easier to change this classroom, according to the activity to be developed. This is not the case with the traditional layout of portuguese classrooms.
After viewing the video on flexible and interactive classroom environments, I put into practice a different way of organizing the classroom in order to achieve the learning forms chosen by the class / students. For this, I defined group work zones, peer work zones, and individual work zones / tutorials.

I only have 5 big tables surrounded by chairs… so for me is very difficult to redesign my class… In contrast we have plenty of space, so sometimes we just move the chairs and use all the walls to show our jobs to the others.

The learning spaces available to my students are not flexible and interactive as shown in the video. We usually have a traditional room with rows of tables of two students facing the teacher. As the teacher is not always in the same room and with the same class, if you want to organize the available space you have to do it in a quick way so that you leave it as it was for the next teacher and do not waste the little time available for your class.

Several teachers use the same classroom at my school .However the number of students and the size of our classroom are suitable for a flexible classroom.So I changed the places of desks with my students since I have learnt the advantages of the flexible classroom through this course.My colleagues and pupıls liked it!Now they are more flexible and interactive.

My school was founded (more than) 150 years ago. It has grown according to the growth of the community where it belongs. Fifteen of the school's classrooms are located in an annex building, considered a provisional building for more than 30 years.
The furniture of the classrooms is the usual: tables of two places, distributed by rows (we all know the school model of the industrial revolution) and four or five computers. I think the learning spaces that I have available for my students may be flexible and interactive. We do not have modular furniture? Patience. We can put together two tables for work groups of 4 elements, we can build a circle with tables, form and lean the tables on the walls to free space in the center of the room ...
Creativity, imagination and the will to change are a good start!

Because my class is a computer lab, computers are desktops and the class is small, we can't make much changes. The video we watched really inspired me. I don't have enough lockers in my classroom, but instead I can use cloud repositories, I don't have enough boards in my class, but I can use a padlet, I don't have a group of 3-4 people around a table, but I can use social sharing apps. There are many more tools like "Module2.6 Tools for personalized learning".

In my opinion the shift to a flexible conception of the spaces as well as the times and the ways of learning has to be taken for granted. I mean that teachers , administrators, stakeholders are required to adopt a perspective of continuous change in order to always be able to deal with the challenges that contemporary world force our students to cope with. The Future Classroom Lab represents to me an ideal  space and seems kind of an evolution of the old ateliers. A huge amount of research on education flows into this conception of the spaces, the times and the ways of learning. I've been trying organizing my classroom space by dividing it in various zones each of them dedicated to a different learning activity and/or learning style. It's not easy, unfortunately, because I can't make important decisions on my own. As a matter of fact, this kind of choices implies a learning and teaching vision to be shared by all the actors of an educational institution: principals, teachers, stakeholders.

Has I assumed before, the most importante are the people! When there are professionals well-intentionated and motivated, everything is possible. I apply the activities from the project “Ainda me salta a tampa” in the sport classroom (because of the caracteristics of the classroom: without furniture). It happens that this classroom ti wasn’t available for a few times, so we went to an ordinary classroom and adapted the space to our needs and interests.

From what I saw I think that I could join four tables together to form working stations, but unfortunately the teacher's desk cannot be moved because of the smartboard and computer. Also we have a wall full of big windows facing the sun the whole day, so it's hard to get the students there. On the other hand, because the class has only one classroom where all the teachers go  and because we all work in different ways it's hard to rearrange the classroom everytime I go to class.
In the video I really liked the fact that the teacher's desk was in a position that is almost near every student.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school the furniture is not up to date or flexible as we saw in the video. There are tables for two students. For group work we put together two tables, but the students are distant. When we use only one for four students they are not comfortable.
I have already participated in courses  about "The future Classroom" with different work spaces for different  task to be done but this is not possible in the current room because the room is small for 24 students and does not allow this management. The purchase of materials and equipping of the rooms is not my responsibility, all this is dependent on the governmental entities. We do the best we can with what we have.

In my specific case it is very difficult to adjust the classroom to organise collaborative learning because I don't have a classroom of my own. As I said previously, in another post, I go to five schools and I have 9 classes. A lesson has 60 minutes and I don't have enough time, modern furniture or classroom space to rebuilt it in such a short time. Normally they work in pairs or groups of 4 because they can turn back. Besides this I always built an English Corner with the students. What is showed in the video is very interesting but very difficult to achieve.

# data[].attributes.body
Since I teach the English language, I do not have my own classroom, so moving desks and chairs back to their first place is time consuming and noisy. If I had my own classroom I would join all desks in pairs of two so that four children can be seated. If I need students to work in pairs they just pull the desks a bit apart.

In my school, the learning spaces are different from those that appear in the video, the furniture is more than 20 years old and in the 48 square meters of classroom 26 students are jostled.
However, I like to change the layout of the furniture and I think this promotes the existence of new flexible learning spaces.
With the provision of interactive whiteboards for the classrooms I have been trying to get the technologies in here and we can take the best of them out of them. Our activities are more colorful, more concretized with images that "VALUE MORE THAN THOUSAND WORDS".

The video has inspired me even more to relax space and fight the passivity of a classroom oriented only in one direction: in relation to a teacher, who must necessarily stop being the most important in a classroom.
