Despite these issues, a redesigned learning space can still be a very effective, hands-on approach to improving student achievement and involving them in their own education. There are ways to make your budget last longer when trying to implement a new design.

The way students learn

# data[].attributes.body
Classroom Management Struggles

the closer students are the more issues that can arise

Some students work better independently and this type of structure for them does not make them comfortable

Budget

It is costly to try and convert your classroom

What do you do with all of the old stuff?

Technology cannot be "transformed" you either have it or you don't

District doesn't want to spend the money on classrooms or doesn't have the money

Lack of Professional Development

Teacher does not have the skill set to roll out this type of integration

Teacher does not "believe" that the redesign will effect student learning

There is significant work on the front-end for teachers and they simply do not have the time

Schools systems are now rethinking how to use the space provided by the classroom. Since the rise in technology learning spaces have started to transform and no longer look like the traditional classrooms with rows of forward-facing seating. Instead, the spaces are arranged in ways to support collaborative and self-directed learning.

Online lessons must engage students in “thinking and doing” rather than “sitting and getting.”  However, students must be "doing" something will a purpose. This purpose is developed from principles of learning and cognitive development. Students will connect ideas and work across multiple contexts when lessons are paired with research-based learning. Student-centric learning technology must effectively activate students’ prior knowledge and help them use critical thinking while engaging in achievable challenges. Blending the two styles together, of teacher lead instruction and online instruction forms a personalized learning plan.

One of the most challenging aspect of teaching is effectively reaching all learners. This is hard to do when you have 25+ students in a classroom. Many schools are looking to educational technologies to support and enhance student learning in their classrooms.Utilizing technology components invite students to think independently and expand their reasonings.

Technology complements teacher instruction by empowering individual learners when they are working independently, and then by providing data that inform teachers.

Classrooms worldwide are shifting from a traditional class setting and morphing into a 21st- century learning environment. This means one should not see straight lines of desks faced toward the blackboard. Now observers might find whiteboards, TVs, projectors, and even iPads or laptops to display instruction to their students. Student seating arrangements are also just as creative and allow students to explore and collaborate with others more effectively. These are steps taken to embrace better learns for the workplace and support this educational shift. My providing a sustainable design one can improve learning by simply enhancing student well-being.
