Classroom layout (Math)

This week we had just moved into our new classrooms, D, B, P and old T block shall be removed and with them being removed we have gained new classrooms altogether, we now have an R, M and new T block in our school.

Yesterday we had our first class of Math in T8, when our math class used to be in D4.

So since its a whole new building with a whole new layout, we were given a task to pick a layout of the class with the resources that we have.

So we started a design process.

Brief:

find a new layout for the classroom with the resources we have

Research:

A classroom layout can be anything, it could be a row of tables in a line while the board and teachers desk is up the front or something else completely, though having a row of desks in a straight line seems boring and plain.

so I looked up some layouts of classrooms.

(Here are a few ideas)

Then after we came up with our design we had to come up with a few ideas for how we wanted the final layout to look.

the idea we came up with was this: 

The idea we were getting at was that when we were doing work we would be able to see the TV and the whiteboard at the same time instead of turning our body around to see the whiteboard or TV.

With 3 tables at the front on each side and a gap with 2 tables in the middle behind that are 4 tables on each side and the 2 tables on the sides will have 1 table in front of them and the 2 tables at the back are the High Tables.

Then next to the tables on the left will be the computers.

What we don't like about this design is that the people at the computers may not be able to see the whiteboard, but only be able to see the TV.

Our second idea has a small change.

What we like about our second idea is that its tidy and its spacious so there is room for everyone to move around easily, which helps a lot with walking in and out of the classroom. Even if it was a little change and we only changed the position of the whiteboard and the position of the TV.

What we didn't really like about this idea was that people would have to turn around completely if they would want to see the whiteboard (Computer people)

Where our first idea you didn't really need to turn much and the people at the tables could easily turn their head without hurting them neck to look at the whiteboard and TV whereas in this one people as the tables have to like turn their whole body to look at the TV...

So our final idea turned out just to be our first Idea

And to make it a lot better I wanna hear what you think about our design and if you think something should change?
