    I would love to have the SPACE in my classroom to have a setup similar to this!

    My first impression is that the environment is cold. I do not find this environment very inviting. Although I like the possibilities to more furniture around.

    I see opportunities for students to work collaboratively. The environment appears very sterile to me. I like how the peices appear to be easy to move, redesign and manipulate according to individual and group learning needs and preferences. Then I think about budget...

    I love the collaborative space. Definitely not the classroom that I grew up with, however, would have loved to as a child.

    I love this space. I am planning an alternative seating environment in my classroom as well. This physical space allows for many small group environments. I would modify it slightly by allowing for private, individual spaces as well. Modular furniture (pillows, benches, etc.) that can be moved to a comfortable space in the classroom would also be an option for me.

    I'm not comfortable with this space. I find it too sterile. I'd still like to see some centres, comfy places, individual work areas. I may want to see display areas, invitations displayed to create interest. None of these are in this space.
