[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with the traditional everyone-faces-the-front arrangement? [/quote] There is not enough space. The table approach makes the desks closer together.[/quote] I used to get marked down on my observations if my students were in traditional rows. Administrators wanted to see a creative and effective use of space. I always thought that rows COULD be effective, especially since it meant all my students were focused in one direction away from distractions, but I learned to give admin what they wanted. Students went into pods, U-shape configurations, etc. I now work in a school where admin doesn’t define good use of space that way. My desks are in rows regularly now, and students seem more attentive. I can also monitor behaviors easier. I can see when students are using devices improperly, for example, when all devices are facing the same way. [/quote]
