Designing a classroom for the new learning environment

Technology-enhanced learning environments use computers and related technology to augment the teaching and learning activities of the classroom.

What should the physical environment of your future classroom look like? As shown in Recesso chapter 2 (The article will be distributed in the class), there are various configurations for technology-enhanced classrooms.

Based on what you've discussed and read, can you design a classroom layout that affords students the opportunity to participate in a class that is engaging, interactive, facilitative, and instructionally appropriate? (Recesso 22-23).

Using PowerPoint, create a layout for your future classroom that possesses all 4 components listed. Also make sure to include additional materials, furniture, etc. that are necessary for your grade level/subject area.

For Tuesday's class:


  • Read the chapter distributed in class today.
  • Complete your classroom layout and follow the instructions for submitting the assignment as described in the project description.
  • It is due on Tuesday (Sep 4).
