10 Things in School That Should Be Obsolete. Flickr: Corey Leopold By Greg Stack So much about how and where kids learn has changed over the years, but the physical structure of schools has not. Looking around most school facilities — even those that aren’t old and crumbling — it’s obvious that so much of it is obsolete today, and yet still in wide use. 1. COMPUTER LABS. Students are connected to the Internet everywhere except in school.

Organise the learning space in the classroom to promote learning. It is possible to organise the learning space in the classroom so that students get the best opportunities to optimise their learning. Although classroom space is finite, even in the most basic 'square box' classroom there are opportunities to exploit the different ways students learn and, more importantly, the ways that students must learn, if their learning is to be the best it can be.

Use the learning space to promote a combination of learning styles The first consideration when planning how to use the learning space in the classroom is to have a clear idea what the purpose of each learning activitiy is going to be. Good teachers know how important it is to take account of different student learning styles and also understand the need for a variety of learning activities.
