Does your classroom look different to the traditional classroom? For example, low tables, learning pods, reading spaces, beanbags, zabuton. If yes, please comment on this post with your impressions, particularly with regard to how classes of 30 Year 8 students handle the changed environment. I will curate responses and share here.
