Evaluating the classroom environment

It is important for you to be critical thinkers and learners. This week’s task in topic requires you to brainstorm What works and doesn’t work in our classroom?

Think about space, tables, chairs, specific learning areas, technology, equipment, etc.

What works	What doesn’t work	What would you change / why
*Desks * Windows * Teachers * Technology * Doors * Data Projector * Computers * Chairs * Lights * Speaker * Heater * Curtains * Netbooks & Chromebooks * Big Whiteboards	* Maths Trolley * Netbook Cupboard * Bookshelf * Smelly Bin/Bin Area *Art Area * The Wall Space * Classroom Size * Mat Colour * Charger Plugs * Art Towels * Paint Brushes * Soap/Hand Sanitizer	* Netbook Cupboard - Not Enough Space For The Netbooks   * Bookshelf - Not Much Space For The Books * Smelly Bin/Bin Area - It is smelly and it is not closed by the lid every time. *Art Area - The bench is too small to do art. * The Wall Space - The wall is too small for the posters, pictures, work and art works. * Classroom Size - Its not enough space for the students to walk through because it is too tight. * Mat Colour - The mat colour is not that interesting for the students.   * Charger Plugs - The chargers are too crowded. Also it is hard for the students to get the charger out when their netbooks have low battery   * Art Towels - I don’t know why we have to have art towels because we don’t even use them. * Paint Brushes - Their too squished in the circle container and it is hard to put in * Teachers Desk Space - The teachers need space for them to walk through.
