“When you imagine a modern classroom, what do you see? Are there rows of forward-facing student desks? Is there a lectern or a teacher’s desk at the front of the room? Increasingly, that’s not the reality. Educational technology and emerging workforce trends are key reasons why. Instead of sitting quietly in rows of desks, students are encouraged to move around and collaborate in groups. Newer classroom furniture options enable students to better see their teachers and to work independently and comfortably, with classmates or one on one with instructors. These innovations reflect the increased demand for a workforce of people who can collaborate and think critically, among other things.” (more)
