As the new school year begins, it’s the perfect time to
start redesigning your classroom. Eductopia blogger, designer, and educator
David Bill has put together a three part video series on how to not only reorganize
your classroom but to also get your students involved in the process. Bill
suggests using techniques such as drawing a map of your current classroom and
having students mark areas that they would change by giving students post it
notes and having them right their suggestions and posting them around the
room. There were some great tips for
repurposing materials that many teachers already have in their room to help
organize supplies. Bill suggestions have put a new spin on how to get the
classroom ready for the new year and I am excited to try several of his
suggestions in my own classroom soon.
I saw this article but skipped over it since I'm one of those organization freaks that has everything done way before school starts. But after reading the article, I thought about how cool it would be to see how my students see the room. I may have to give this a try (and might even make some changes too).
