Classroom Re-design: Desks out, Podiums in
Little things make a big difference: "She disapproved of the stooped stance at the teacher's desk, and the way that trailing wires seemed to snake in all directions. She didn't like the way a teachers' desk occupied valuable space at the front of the room, or the fact that the laptop screen was itself a distraction when the teacher wanted pupils' eyes to be fixed on the whiteboard. She went looking for an alternative - and eventually found one... Her laptop sits on the angled lectern at the top of the podium. There are power and data sockets and the wiring is routed inside the podium through to a conduit in the floor. There's a lockable cupboard below the laptop stand for personal belongings and the unit comes with or without castors." It would have been nice to have a photo of the change
