Ideal learning environment

The place you work in can

make a big difference to the

quality of your work.

Designing your ideal learning environment

Look at the following pictures and think what do you like / dislike

about them? How could you make this?

You need to have a small

box (classroom) and you

will make all the furniture.

Conventional?

Little displays = no

distractions. Bright and clean

Modern?

Lots of computers, no

windows, comfy chairs

Futuristic?

Funky designed furniture, cool

storage space. No windows,

and does not look

comfortable.

Bright?

Huge windows, lots of light.

sofas for relaxing and a

working area for working

Cosy?

Calming yellow walls, work

areas and relaxing areas.

Modern layout. Stepped rows

(like a cinema) so everyone

can see the front of the

classroom.

Consider the layout of the tables and chairs. Should they be in a semi-circle

this the picture? Or, should you have rows, circle groups, or just scattered

around the classroom?

My ideal learning environment

Draw a design in your books first.

Consider:

•Colour of the walls / floor

•Windows

•How the tables and chairs will be arranged

•Modern / conventional

•Do you want a relaxing area

•A water fountain

•You need to design the wall displays!

•Anything else?
