learn! http://t.co/1HrxQHow @andywhiteway #ukedchat @nightzookeeper we have cushion corner and the floor is a 'stretching' place. They still squeeze round tables tho! #ukedchat In Year 5 class - move around tables three times a day to suit learning. Hectic but works and children do it without fuss. @MrWickensPE @andywhiteway when I was at primary school we had an enormous art area we used in the afternoons #ukedchat not there now tho @itsmisschandler @ukedchat really like that! Will be using it in the future #ukedchat @tombarrett It's 'How have you modified your learning environment to improve teaching and learning?' #ukedchat #ukedchat wish my learning spaces were a bit more flexible, fixed desks in a lab! #ukedchat. Using QR codes in the classroom http://t.co/HLLkIWuo Ask the children what helps them with their learning #ukedchat @nightzookeeper Seating plans for all classes from lesson 1. Random boy girl if I don't know class then tweak when I do. #ukedchat #ukedchat love my board, as some may have seen already, pupils get great use out of http://t.co/KJEQWUqA I once let my students decide what to put up on the displays #ukedchat @coachrotte have you got an example of how the switch activities work? #ukedchat @nightzookeeper no seating plan in my classroom apart from grouping for maths, but they still don't always sit in the same place #ukedchat I once had my entire class stand on their heads to see the world from another angle. Amazing impact. #ukedchat @dandesignthink have u got a hq version of this?? #ukedchat #ukedchat thoughts on display that shouts LEARNING! http://t.co/n5YsTEMS @MrG_ICT 'writing formation' means I can model something and everyone copies.

#ukedchat students grouped but free to explore groups and workspaces. #teamljh http://t.co/ugfourBm @nightzookeeper 2seating plans per class. One for desks and one for computers. Sets off on the right foot. #ukedchat If you have a seating plan, how often do children get to work with different groups? #ukedchat My own disability restricts how I can physically alter my classrooms. So I try to keep things interesting within constraints! #ukedchat Trying to find funding for using tech for maths in school. Anyone know of any sources? #ukedchat #math (south west based) pls RT :) I tell the students that they make their own seating chart based on whether they can handle where the choose to sit or not. #ukedchat #ukedchat tables in classrooms. Why have tables , deconstruct traditional classroom organisation and have learning centred approach RT @tes: RT @tes: Twigg tells labour conf that he will support heads who want to be rid of weak teaches. #ukedchat #upforaruckwiththeunions RT @ewanmcintosh: RT @ewanmcintosh: I once had my entire class stand on their heads to see the world from another angle. Amazing impact. #ukedchat #ukedchat teams of four #kagan style. @nightzookeeper Computer seating plan stops mad scramble and let's me seat for peer support. #ukedchat RT @ewanmcintosh: RT @ewanmcintosh: I once had my entire class stand on their heads to see the world from another angle. Amazing impact. #ukedchat @Ramsay71 commandeer the corridor for every lesson #ukedchat #ukedchat create a space for inspiration encouraging students to reach forthe stars! http://t.co/JDxVbXTp Have you ever asked your students to design areas within the classroom? #ukedchat @MrG_ICT I have got rid of two sets of tables in the last year :-) #ukedchat RT @ewanmcintosh: RT @ewanmcintosh: I once had my entire class stand on their heads to see the world from another angle.

#ukedchat what about extending teaching and learning to the corridors http://t.co/HkcNPTUq RT @ewanmcintosh: RT @ewanmcintosh: I once had my entire class stand on their heads to see the world from another angle. Amazing impact. #ukedchat The tables in my classroom centre around one large circular space to encourage debate and discussion for Sixth Form and GCSE #ukedchat @Ramsay71 what approach is traditional set up focused on? #ukedchat @nightzookeeper I use random groups for starters/plenaries & planned groups for mains when needed. #ukedchat RT @ewanmcintosh: RT @ewanmcintosh: I once had my entire class stand on their heads to see the world from another angle. Amazing impact. #ukedchat One NZ school with Fabulous Learning Spaces: http://t.co/9czdpMik #ukedchat Horse shoe tables are great for guided work - especially reading #Ukedchat @nightzookeeper #ukedchat Never if i can help it. They should do their own work. @nightzookeeper Yes - they have complete control of the form board and are deciding on my new displays #ukedchat #ukedchat have spent today sorting 60ch into groups of 4 on ability & VAK preference, will hopefully benefit continuous prov challenge in Y1 #ukedchat moving #T&L to the corridors http://t.co/afjhZODZ After 7 years of sitting in rows finally shifted to tables of 4, loving it! not exactly new, but I have been reluctant #ukedchat @ukedchat #ukedchat natural light proven to make a difference.don't decorate windows #ukedchat ...and some great ideas on Learning Spaces from @stephenheppell here: http://t.co/6fH4cqLz #ukedchat @nightzookeeper #ukedchat yes today, my classroom seems too full, asked every class and have pupils coming in before school tomorrow to do!! @nightzookeeper I asked, just got recreations of the same! Chairs and tables in groups! #ukedchat

All teaching & learning is based on kids interests. Eg 'what is imagination?' Then chn decide for themselves+we simply facilitate #ukedchat @KateBoot Oh Kate, don't do that! VAK is arse #ukedchat Add variety by changing seating layout. No rows. Lots of groups #ukedchat @MrAColley agree with you there, peer support very important at times. It's great if this is mixed up and remains fresh! #ukedchat #ukedchat some much learning does not require tables: art, PE , music, reading just a use of the learning area only once? ;-) @tombarrett mantle of the expert displays can be very interesting, though not always aesthetically pleasing #ukedchat only once? ;-) @tombarrett mantle of the expert displays can be very interesting, though not always aesthetically pleasing #ukedchat RT @HilaryNunns: Add variety by changing seating layout. No rows. Lots of groups #ukedchat But not too much variety @soos24 can you please let me know how it goes. Would be interested in the outcome #ukedchat I always go all out on my reading/writing inspiration area. All themed. Themes come from childrens' interests #ukedchat #ukedchat Worth considering the acoustics too! 50% of what is said in a classroom is lost! http://t.co/HKHpCIyH BT @HilaryNunns: Add variety by changing seating layout. No rows. Lots of groups #ukedchat I use Triptico to generate random pairings/groups. Takes the "teacher's choice" element out of the equation! #ukedchat RT @timbuckteeth: RT @timbuckteeth: ...and some great ideas on Learning Spaces from @stephenheppell here: http://t.co/6fH4cqLz #ukedchat @davidhunter Can you explain "writing formation" Maybe I'm being thick bit its been a hard day. #ukedchat #ukedchat I worked with a media teacher to create this brilliant piece of inspiration http://t.co/19WNUasj Here's a post I wrote about seating after a memorable #ukedchat last year: http://t.co/B90dVHlA

My kids love the top gear style "Cool Wall" with healthy & unhealthy food. With no prompts they often discuss and change positions #ukedchat @SwayGrantham i guess they like the environment you have set up and feel comfortable in it :-) #ukedchat #ukedchat How do ICT / Tech teachers cope? I teach in ICT lab with 4 rows of computers. Very diff to do any group work as can't move desks? #ukedchat (2/2) continuous provision areas split between 2 Y1 open plan classrooms with consideration given to split VAK resources equally. #ukedchat we've just had student attributes key words posted on the corridors, would like to get subject specific things on corridor walls RT @bellaale: RT @bellaale: I use Triptico to generate random pairings/groups. Takes the "teacher's choice" element out of the equation! #ukedchat @Ramsay71 #ukedchat Exactly what we did with http://t.co/sgKhkGoW Each lesson begins with an empty classroom. Flexible, pupil lead. #ukedchat I provided a different space to main carpet for 'mini-plenaries' to allow for more introverted/quiet kids to feedback RT @ewanmcintosh: RT @ewanmcintosh: I once had my entire class stand on their heads to see the world from another angle.

Tried this but difficult with 1 hr per wk. #ukedchat @MrG_ICT I go from tables of four tip everyone facing the front in 30 secs.works well.sorry.bad explanation #ukedchat Best wall displays involve showing students on fieldtrips. Encourages high interest but also shows younger students what's ahead #ukedchat RT @learningspy Here's a post I wrote about seating after a memorable #ukedchat last year: http://t.co/ULIE9aH0

I remember When I need to break out of the confines in the classroom I take the class outside or to the hall #ukedchat See the learning environment thanks to this book, recommended reading for my students http://t.co/E99JtMLc #ukedchat How do you theme your classroom (other than changing display boards) based on the topic you are teaching? #ukedchat Flexible seating allows kids to move if, for eg, the sun is blinding #ukedchat My classroom floor is two thirds carpet so many children often remove their shoes and move around in their socks. #ukedchat @nightzookeeper creative approach to seating plans -we use height/birthday/alphabetical/house number etc order and sit in circle #ukedchat @Ahupp30: I have modified my teaching by using a lot more technology in the classroom #ukedchat how?? @Jivespin Fab! We encourage 4 year olds to agree/disagree with each other too #TakeAStepBack Sometimes teacher silence is best #ukedchat #ukedchat I put all my desks in rows so as to enable learning. @soos24 Great, do they have additional resources to use aside from the regular furniture? #ukedchat Just wondering how often people think displays should be changed? #ukedchat #ukedchat anyone experimented with minimalism, framed photos on the wall, nothing on display? Results? Looking to use @LearningSpy idea of a Progress Continuum on the wall as an interactive display and progress indicator #ukedchat I've got one large central table space for 25 P4/5's this year and space for working in groups around the side. #ukedchat RT @oldandrewuk: RT @oldandrewuk: #ukedchat I put all my desks in rows so as to enable learning. just at Madrid SEK school where kids-as-designers revamped learning space - writing backwards on glass wall #ukedchat http://t.co/SwztVOKn @oldandrewuk I put all my desk in groups so as to enable

Funny old thing, ain't it #ukedchat #ukedchat give the children a say over what they want in their learning environment and what they think helps them learn in the best way @ukedchat @nightzookeeper Inspiring children to read using a reading cave, complete with torches, fairy lights, cushions and rugs #ukedchat @ukcreativeed: creative approach to seating plans -we use height/birthday/alphabetical/house number etc order and sit in circle #ukedchat @SheliBB @tombarrett I got a fab Viking display which the chn did one afternoon http://t.co/t0o47eXE #ukedchat I threw out half the desks in my classroom (including my own) http://t.co/1Ryys7rA to creat a 21st century learning space #ukedchat @davidhunter Thanks - makes sense. My children will be great furniture removers when older. Not sure if they can beat 30s #ukedchat Wall displays, why not floor displays? Put information on floor so children surround it and can get easy access. New thinking. #ukedchat RT @timbuckteeth: RT @timbuckteeth: One NZ school with Fabulous Learning Spaces: http://t.co/9czdpMik #ukedchat @Alexkirks @ukedchat sounds awesome, have you got a pic of this? #ukedchat @nightzookeeper I worry its a sign of squashed imagination? #ukedchat We have ready made speech bubbles for comments+ideas from kids, parents and visitors. Use the blog too #instant #ideas #ukedchat #ukedchat It is interesting to see who you move to the front. Those with poor eyesight? Those with lower attention span? Who gets front seat @CliveSir Window blinds work well also ;) #ukedchat @LearningSpy @oldandrewuk Sometimes I push all the desks to the side to enable learning #ukedchat Check for noisy equipment and buzzing lights as it can distract and distress #ukedchat #SEN @OhLottie I hate wearing shoes so as a kid would have hated it. I'd love to let mine go in socks. Do SLT support you in this? #ukedchat

RT @oldandrewuk: RT @oldandrewuk: @LearningSpy Turns out those who listen learn more than those who don't #ukedchat @ianaddison had to do that when I taught in a mobile, or we just went outside.Are you allowed to stack tables chairs? #ukedchat @oldandrewuk @SheliBB @PeterSpencer88 Yeah because PE, RE, Science, PSHE, History, Geog, Music and Art are unnecessary right? #ukedchat @PsychologyMarc Rows are OK for robots #ukedchat .. and Victorian classrooms I'm reading #ukedchat for the first time. Very interesting. Is it every day? RT @dandesignthink: RT @dandesignthink: Self, peer, teacher - correction, feedback, guidance! #edchat #ukedchat #education http://t.co/iuitWkAh #ukedchat thanks for letting a Yank lurk and post. Keep up the great work everybody. #teamljh @nightzookeeper things are constantly moving in the class to suit needs of kids. #ukedchat @oldandrewuk @peterspencer88 so no need for social, collaborative, personal skills then? #ukedchat @coachrotte @davidhunter but my chn chose rows one year -they saw it as the best way they could avoid distractions. #ukedchat What will be the main differences to the classroom in 20 years time? Will they still exist as we know them in 2012? #ukedchat @coachrotte what is real world learning? I've learnt plenty in a cinema or theatre #ukedchat PS I generally seat mixed ability teams of four @mattharding007 @SheliBB @PeterSpencer88 At primary? Yes. #ukedchat "@lizdudley: It's on! #TMBrock is on 21st Nov at Brockenhurst College, New Forest http://t.co/qVAVETRd #ukedchat #asechat" Spead the word! RT @HilaryNunns: RT @HilaryNunns: @learningspy takes more skill to manage groups #ukedchat which is why some prefer rows @Jivespin Butting in at the end but I've had classes that asked for rows as it helped them concentrate! #ukedchat

@callmepolly @coachrotte that's very interesting. Was it a vote our unanimous? #ukedchat @suklaa @callmepolly it would be great to involve this in the lesson planning process! "table layout" #ukedchat @oldandrewuk @SheliBB @PeterSpencer88 Utter rubbish. Explain your reasons as to why? #ukedchat @nightzookeeper my school has some money to spend on ICT. What would people recommend buying? We have laptops & basic ICT software #ukedchat @TheHeadsOffice Student voice always throws up a surprise! That's why it is so powerful #ukedchat RT @dandesignthink: RT @dandesignthink: #ukedchat marking gamerfication? Do we challenge students to improve by offering them scores? Score boards @oldandrewuk: @mattharding007 @SheliBB @PeterSpencer88 At primary? Yes. #ukedchat Eeek! @SheliBB @PeterSpencer88 #ukedchat As a lesson? Of course not. Waste of time. @KateBoot Me too. Horseshoe can also be very good discipline. No back row... #ukedchat @nightzookeeper my visual perception is so poor I need help to move them in any different ways! #ukedchat @PeterSpencer88 That's all you need for 100 Word Challenge! ;) #ukedchat @ukedchat also need a role play area in classroom frm nursery to Y6. Seen some fantastic work in Suffolk on Mantle of the Expert! #ukedchat #ukedchat something else for all classrooms your school t&l strategy 5rs here http://t.co/gIzFYzjn RT @CaptainGove Why is everybody worrying about space? Just have a small table. You'll get both pupils in then. #privateisbest #ukedchat @TheHeadsOffice I'd rather have rows with space to move around, than clumps of tables & no space. Space allows collaboration. #ukedchat @LearningSpy #ukedchat I believe so. But don't see why you have to choose. 5 minutes of #ukedchat left. Final thoughts? It is great if you have a classroom where tables are easy and safe to move around. Sets a different atmosphere when you change. #ukedchat @mattharding007 @oldandrewuk @peterspencer88 good

job the teachers of peeps like Vanessa Mae didn't think that! #ukedchat @QueenyPrior @ClareBrunet @nightzookeeper We use roles too. I am yet to introduce them this year BUT should do that soon #ukedchat @oldandrewuk @shelibb @peterspencer88 how do you think chn develop these skills if not being taught? #ukedchat RT @lizdudley: RT @lizdudley: It's on! #TMBrock is on 21st Nov at Brockenhurst College, New Forest http://t.co/hofyUyzW #ukedchat #asechat @eslweb @KateBoot I agree - always helps you see what exactly is happening at all points. No hiding places in a horseshoe! #ukedchat @HuntingEnglish Yeah a lot is from the 70's/80's. But research in the past has provided us with that evidence. #ukedchat RT @SheliBB: RT @SheliBB: @mattharding007 @oldandrewuk @peterspencer88 good job the teachers of peeps like Vanessa Mae didn't think that! #ukedchat Remember if your chairs are portable. Simply drawing the shape on the board is often enough to get it moved. #ukedchat @e11iewe11s every Thurs 8pm #ukedchat RT @CaptainGove: RT @CaptainGove: Why is everybody worrying about space? Just have a small table. You'll get both pupils in then. #privateisbest #ukedchat @ianaddison @captaingove if only I could control the size of my tables #ukedchat @dandesignthink I love this huge poster! I think I will have to adapt mine to make it clearer #ukedchat Has anyone discussed communal areas (libraries etc) and outside learning spaces? #ukedchat @callmepolly what came out of it? Did they design something that worked well? #ukedchat @TheHeadsOffice I have got permission to start a blog with them, kids very excited, will definitely be looking into 100wc, thanks! #ukedchat @nightzookeeper thanks for hosting - much appreciated #ukedchat @oldandrewuk @peterspencer88 not as discrete lessons, but you can't really achieve those skills sitting in rows

#ukedchat #ukedchat I have designated learning areas in my room, but it is still a traditionally table grouped room at its heart. #ukedchat green screening is a great tool if your school has the money. Chn love the freedom! Anyone used the table layouts given in Paul Ginnis' The Teacher's Toolkit? Some are very good for particular activities #ukedchat @ukedchat Less of what makes sense for us as teachers, more of what makes sense for the children as young learners #ukedchat Thanks to #ukedchat for some great learning from half a world away Change the environment to suit the learning intention, try and get outside before it is too cold. #ukedchat The poll for next week's #ukedchat discussion hosted by @mrlockyer is live http://t.co/7WAHFPy8 @syded06 my pleasure, very interesting as always. Picked up a great number of ideas for my next class! #ukedchat Most effective learning environment when it's creative, students design the use, it is designed for learning not behaviour m'ment #ukedchat @Jivespin Yes, but most of his need that little bit of extra space. Now an ICT teacher not much chance to change room layout. #ukedchat RT @syded06: RT @syded06: @nightzookeeper thanks for hosting - much appreciated #ukedchat @ianaddison oh poop. I've worked in a small school that had table moving down to a tee. Classroom=hall, lunch room, PE space etc #ukedchat @coachrotte @callmepolly I hear what you're saying,but you're suggesting facing one way had no place.Look at conferences for ex #ukedchat @ukedchat will tonites tweets be archived for future reference #ukedchat RT @LearningSpy: RT @LearningSpy: @oldandrewuk I'd prefer that they were learning rather than just listening #ukedchat Getting the students outside mixes it up. I recreate the start of the Battle of Hastings using the hill separating our two fields #ukedchat

@Jivespin Yes, the Toolkit was my NQT bible, great layouts for effective teaching and learning #ukedchat @nightzookeeper Bookshelf, beanbags, armchairs & sofa in KS3 classrooms. Sometimes angles are changed really mixes it up ;) #ukedchat @ukedchat Same as every week. If you're going to do something, do it because its good for learning. But don't be afraid to try. #ukedchat @nightzookeeper @callmepolly #ukedchat exactly! We do cpd around this too. You can also move layouts during lessons. http://t.co/ewwg2eWL Thanks for joining everyone. One last question: If you could change one thing about your classroom, what would it be? #ukedchat I wonder if I'll ever not want for more space...?! RT @ukedchat: 5 minutes of #ukedchat left. Final thoughts? Moving chairs is great for your kinaesthetic learners (fidgets) 5 minutes chair moving and concentration for next 15. #ukedchat @MultiMartin #ukedchat I'm still clearing out last year's teachers' mess from my backroom - cluttertastic! Have yet to unpack my mess fully. @dandesignthink those r gr8 posters, where did u order them frm? #ukedchat @TeachtoLearn_ - Learner voice has to be central, is it our domain? Or is it the learners? #UKEdChat @nightzookeeper Make it open, not closed. #ukedchat @Bigkid4 @peterspencer88 @oldandrewuk I honestly think I could teach anything in primary, but doesn't make me an expert #ukedchat G'night all - off for tapas, rioja and sleep Also all good for learning #ukedchat @nightzookeeper #ukedchat its size! Its 9pm. Huge thanks to @nightzookeeper for hosting a great session of #ukedchat. The archive will be at http://t.co/Gz9pqeVH soon.
