But I’m glad to discover so many of us are barking up the same tree.

Classroom design seems like a potentially interesting conversation, and I’d love to see what gets brought up beyond the predictable: reconfigurable/movable furniture, wi-fi access, white boards, projectors, and the like. Moreover, how can we best encourage people–ourselves included–to not simply reproduce old patterns of pedagogy within the re-oriented spaces (since, after all, movable chairs can be placed in rows as easily as anything else).

It’s the only time when everyone in the learning community (students and instructor) are together in the same place. As much as I’m a fan of meaningful out-of-class learning experiences, I think it’s important to make the most of that precious time in class together. And that requires a usable design for the physical classroom.

Have fun at THATCamp! I’ll be following along on Twitter.
