the classroom is a very big part of school and learning, without the classroom u have nothing,
Since I teach Early Childhood Education, my students and I have just paitned the classroom. Instead of white walls, they are now bright and colorful. Green and yelling walls with lots of light and it is cheerful as soon as you walk into the room. Color changes your mood.
I agree but I have a problem with institutions who have drab boring walls, inadequate seating or desks, no variety which promotes a very dry and uninspiring learning environment for students. I do not understand why colleges do not invest more in classroom differentiation and promote color in the classroom...brighten it up for the students and the instructors!! I have often thought that I would have each classroom have a theme instead of a number...ENCOURAGE, INSPIRE, CREATE, EDUCATE, MOTIVATE, NURTURE...and this would be represented in the decoration of the room. I teach night classes and believe me it is hard enough to motivate at 8 pm in the evening but when you have to fight the classroom itself...makes my job more difficult!!
Bill,
and this in combination with the hands on is a powerful teaching tool.

in a tech school hands on is very important.The classroom is a chance to give the theory of why it is they do things the way we teach them.
freddie,
and this is why we really must explore many opportunities to make the room inviting & helpful.
