Classrooms

//Similar to the ideas of Andrew Churches in his// Education Origami //wiki, the layout of future classrooms will change as new technologies become an integral part of students’ daily lives in schools. Tables with built in power points and office chairs may be more 'user friendly' and able to be easily moved around the room to accommodate presentations and collaborative learning. Classrooms may also have a central area with an IWB and capabilities for online conferencing, and multiple printing stations around the room. There may also be smaller interconnecting areas that can also be used for small group, quiet learning and reflection.// (licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Australia Licence) ||

//The role of the teacher will change considerably in the next ten years, from being the ‘control centre’ of the classroom to a role of ‘tutor’, providing the opportunity for individualised learning opportunities and approaches that cater for individual student needs.// //These changes mean teachers will be able to spend more one-on-one time with students who require additional support and scaffolding.//
