07:07 - Peggy George
that space looks so inviting and comfortable!
07:41 - Peggy George
oh how I wish we could find some of those folks just handing out money :-)
07:49 - Peggy George
Hi Maureen! Great to see you!

08:42 - Peggy George
I love the concept of a brain-friendly classroom!
09:36 - Peggy George
I think we all have different approaches to our own learning depending on what we are wanting to learn. :-)
09:47 - Peggy George
Welcome Anthippi! So glad you could join us!
10:43 - Peggy George
a picture is worth a thousand words :-)
11:18 - Anthippi Harou
Peggy, your tweet about this webinar was just great! Thank you!
11:30 - Ben
Is there a classroom makeover crew just like on TV
11:42 - Bob Dillon
What trends are folks in the webinar seeing?
12:11 - Peggy George
when the walls are full it's so easy to "tune out" everything that is there.
12:19 - Peggy George
Hi Chuck. Welcome!
12:30 - Chuck 3
hi!
12:39 - Peggy George
great question Ben! Wouldn't that be wonderful? :-)
12:49 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Too many teachers equate "cute" with "educational productive".
13:04 - Patti Ruffing 1
I get frustrated seeing great learning spaces and I count the seats and they rarely hit 30, and we have more than 30 in a class - what to do
13:15 - Chuck 3
mmmmm good point
13:34 - Bob Dillon
I agree that finding options for 30 is hard, but it is doable.
13:46 - Peggy George
When I was a principal I found that many teachers set up their classrooms for the convenience of the custodians--to make it easy for them to clean the room.
14:00 - @plnaugle (Paula)
So many of our students have attention problems and can be over stimulated by all the colors and stuff teachers put up on the walls of their classrooms.
14:04 - Peggy George
great point Patti!!
14:18 - Debbie Tanner
Or in a library... it gets used for lots of different things... classes for kids, meetings for adults, church services...
14:25 - Bob Dillon
I do believe that some folks are doing work at a website called classroomcribs.com
14:26 - Peggy George
too often our classrooms are over-crowded with too many students for one space :-(
14:39 - Patti Ruffing 1
makes it hard for group projects
15:16 - Peggy George
yes! hard to keep rearranging the room with furniture like that
15:33 - Tiziana Angiolini ( ITALY)
I like to see the students while they are sitting and working together but..... in everyday practice we do not have any special corners ....... the learners are sitting and passive.....
15:45 - Peggy George
That's a really key question! Design it by thinking about what we want to have happen in the space!
16:38 - Peggy George

17:22 - Peggy George
What a great question!
18:33 - @klirenman 1
Do you share your
18:40 - Peggy George
This is a great resource I found for designing flexible learning environments. It has lots of links to explore. http://www.d11.org/NextGen/Pages/Environments.aspx (Creating Flexible Learning Environments-Research and resources from Colorado Springs School District II)
18:48 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Hi Karen. :)
19:12 - @klirenman 2
Sorry, I had to jump off my iPad and back on my computer.
19:30 - @klirenman 2
@Rebecca do you share your questions that you ask the students?
19:32 - Chuck 3
"What question haven't I asked" would be good reflection for both teachers and students, right?
19:36 - Peggy George
so glad you could get back in Karen :-)
19:46 - Peggy George
Hi Holly! Great to have you joining us!
19:48 - Ben
Design also has to be cost-effective?
19:51 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Hi Holly. Welcome to Classroom 2.0 Live. :)
19:54 - @klirenman 2
I wouldn't miss these two!
20:00 - Holly Clark 1
Hi sorry late
20:01 - Peggy George
yes Chuck! I think so too!

21:35 - Peggy George
Do you start your co-designing with empty walls and no organization with your furniture/equipment or does it matter?
22:26 - Peggy George
This is a great slideshare from Rebecca (in the Livebinder) http://www.slideshare.net/rebeccahare965/students-as-co-designers-designing-with-not-for-1 (Rebecca Hare: Slideshare-Students as Co-Designers Designing with, Not For)
23:22 - Peggy George
I'm impressed with how young these students are! What is the youngest age you have done this kind of co-designing with?
23:35 - Rebecca Hare
Kindergarteners.
23:42 - Rebecca Hare
They are amazing.
23:45 - Peggy George
wow!
23:47 - Ben
In our school, a middle school Tech class designed makerspaces using Google SketchUp

24:20 - Bob Dillon
Love that Ben.
24:26 - @klirenman 2
As a teacher of young learners PLEASE never under estimate what they are capable of. Thank you @rebecca for honouring their brilliance.
24:39 - Peggy George
what a challenge! 4th graders and Kindergartners in the same space!
24:39 - Bob Dillon
We have definitely worked with 6-7 y/o
24:45 - Bob Dillon
in a deep way
25:47 - Peggy George
I'm interested in hearing about how you can provide quiet spaces within a very active classroom space since there are times everyone would benefit from a quiet space. :-)
25:58 - Peggy George
Thanks Bob!
26:16 - Peggy George
Such a great point Karen!!
26:57 - Peggy George
Great site: http://www.edutopia.org/blog/film-festival-learning-spaces-classroom-makeovers (5 Minute Film Festival: Classroom Makeovers to Engage Learners)
27:07 - Bob Dillon
Love those resources
27:47 - Peggy George
great tip Rebecca!
28:12 - Peggy George
Pernille has so many great ideas!
28:21 - @klirenman 2
We use noise reduction headsets that students can grab if they need them.
28:31 - Debbie Tanner
That's a great idea!
28:46 - @klirenman 2
Not assigned to any one student, but available for those who need them as they need them.
28:49 - Rebecca Hare
Love that idea!
29:27 - @klirenman 2
Works with self-regulation, putting students in control of their needs.
29:30 - Peggy George
Susan Cain has a great TED Talk "The Power of Introverts" https://www.ted.com/talks/susan_cain_the_power_of_introverts?language=en
30:15 - Peggy George
noise reduction headsets are a great idea! I think that was what they used for Michael Phelp's baby at the Olympics :-)

32:36 - Suzana Lazarevic Petrovic
Very nice idea!
32:45 - Peggy George
This is such a great point! Why do we tend to display just the finished, perfect work???
33:40 - Peggy George
what a great project!
33:52 - Debbie Tanner
I guess we display the finished perfect work, the same way we watch the Olympics and the medal ceremonies but not the practice sessions.

34:08 - Ben
Blending physical artifacts with digital content would also be a cool way to link the real and the virtual, such as interactive augmented reality posters or VR glasses
34:36 - Peggy George
yes Debbie!! and the real stories are in the behind the scenes practice sessions :-)
34:54 - Patti Ruffing 1
maybe "perfect" is not the same for each learner

37:06 - Peggy George
We were really lucky when I was a principal because we got to build a new school and teachers had total input into what they wanted in the teacher's lounge. :-)
38:36 - Bob Dillon
The idea of building a new school right now so fun.
38:55 - Peggy George
:-)
39:08 - Holly Clark 1
Yes I love thinking about support for students...not saying we are getting new furniture...now what
39:08 - @bcdtech Maureen
@Peggy- were principal when Leverett Elementray was built?
39:16 - @plnaugle (Paula)
yes, teachers can be hoarders!
39:56 - Peggy George
Maureen, I was the principal there before they built the new additions (back in the early 80's)
40:09 - Peggy George
so true about hoarding!!! I'm guilty!!!!
40:17 - Holly Clark 1
Light is so important!!!
40:18 - @bcdtech Maureen
I like that school- feels cozy!

40:56 - Peggy George
these examples are really helpful!!
41:03 - radney
With the recent attention on makerspaces, have projects been done where the students themselves actually *make* their classroom furnishings?
41:25 - Bob Dillon
Love the idea of students designing furniture
41:27 - Peggy George
love that question @radney!!! :-)
41:58 - Peggy George
That green leaf looks like the EdTeachTeam logo :-)
42:08 - Bob Dillon
:)
42:28 - Peggy George
you can get DonorsChoose grants to help you furnish your rooms
42:30 - Holly Clark 1
Yeah it does look like the leaf

42:46 - Peggy George
Hi Tim H. Welcome!
42:57 - Rebecca Hare
Students made the T-Walls in Affton.
43:30 - Rebecca Hare
I would love to work with students to create and design their own furniture.
43:57 - Peggy George
with these pictures it's so easy to see how the spaces inspire and encourage certain kinds of learning activities!
44:27 - radney
I think the sense of ownership when students make their own classrooms could be the sort of thing that could be replicated in each school year (perhaps students could take what they made home at the end of the year?).
45:10 - Rebecca Hare
Yes Radney! I love it.
45:20 - Peggy George
we had that experience with using bond funds to build/furnish our new school. Unfortunately, the district's idea was that all classrooms should be furnished exactly the same way. :-(
46:26 - radney
@ Peggy Maybe we should float the idea that all admin spaces should have exactly the same furniture/layout/space/&c.?
46:31 - Bob Dillon
that happens a lot Peggy
46:46 - Peggy George
http://www.grandviewprep.net/
46:53 - Bob Dillon
Radney...that would do it :)
47:16 - Tim H
I would love to make a math/a shopping activity out of the planning phase
47:22 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Here is a picture of one part of my classroom - https://flic.kr/p/oqF66K
47:34 - Peggy George
haha @radney :-) actually our district thought that way--at least for principal offices. Not necessarily for district administration offices.
47:42 - Bob Dillon
Tim, my daughter did a project like that in her class this year.
47:44 - Peggy George
thanks Paula!!
47:53 - Patti Ruffing 1
wow Paula, looks awesome!
47:55 - Bob Dillon
Helped with budgeting understanding
48:04 - Peggy George
I want to be in your room Paula!!!
48:11 - Bob Dillon
Love that Paula
48:19 - Tim H
Bob--any tangible results?
48:23 - radney
No, no, Peggy! All admin is the same, school, district, university--it's all the same thing.
48:32 - @plnaugle (Paula)
Here is another one - https://www.flickr.com/gp/plnaugle/LRg2ix
49:06 - radney
And all administrators should be required to sit at kindergartners' chairs--all day long!
49:11 - Patti Ruffing 1
you must have a big room, Paula
49:15 - @plnaugle (Paula)
...and one more - https://www.flickr.com/gp/plnaugle/2834n5
49:19 - Peggy George
if any of you have links about learning spaces we would love to have you share them here in the chat and I'll add them to the Livebinder later.
49:40 - @klirenman 2
I love the idea of Ted rugs!
50:07 - @plnaugle (Paula)
@Patti Yes, it is fairly large.
50:12 - Peggy George
great concept! always keep your space in Beta :-)
50:21 - radney
Continually asking what is working and what is not.
50:38 - radney
Design needs to happen daily.
51:09 - Rebecca Hare
It does Radney.
51:17 - Peggy George
when you have flexible furniture it's much easier to turn control over to the kids to do what works for them at that time
51:43 - Patti Ruffing 1
wonderful ideas, lots of food for thought
51:52 - Peggy George
So many great ideas and lots of food for thought! Thank you Bob and Rebecca!!
52:26 - Peggy George
good point about a blank plate being somewhat overwhelming
52:27 - radney
All the designs seem to maximize space/student. Can you give us some examples where very small spaces with many students accomplished flexibility and adaptability?
52:39 - Ben
What tools do you use to render your 3D space designs?
52:45 - Peggy George
that is a great question! in your home where would you rather be?
53:17 - Tim H
Peggy, you're a great ringleader!
53:33 - radney
How would you apply ideas from "Tiny House" design to a small classroom with 30 students.
53:33 - Peggy George
:-)
54:35 - @plnaugle (Paula)
I've heard other teachers say they can't use task lighting due to fire code.
55:30 - Peggy George
I'll add any of the links you have shared to our Livebinder after the show. Lots of great resources there. http://www.livebinders.com/play/play?id=2032053
55:42 - radney
Thanks so much!
55:53 - Suzana Lazarevic Petrovic
Thx!
55:59 - Jeanne 2
Without sounding clueless, what's 'beta' ?
56:19 - Peggy George
do you have a network or learning/sharing group organized around your book?
56:21 - Rebecca Hare
Never finished, always in progress.
56:50 - Peggy George
@Jeanne Beta is under construction, still being developed and not finished
56:59 - Bob Dillon
Beta is the concept of a resource being in a big change phase.
57:08 - radney
@ Jeanne 2 The notion of beta comes from software design.
57:24 - Ben
