Room Arrangement 1 and 2

The first room arrangement fits the first good key classroom arrangement tip because it allows the students to have constant access to the wall where the teacher projects his computer screen and uses the projector as his own blackboard. This classroom arrangement works well because it allows for people to walk around and get to the teachers desk easily. It also does allow for space in the front of the room but it limits the amount of space between the rows and the back of the room is very tight and hard to maneuver through. Students are able to easily see the teacher when he stands in the front of the room but when he is standing in the back of the room using his laptop to project they are unable to see him. This may be a negative thing but it may not. It allows the students to stay focused on what is being shown to them but they can’t see the actual instructor without having to turn around. This classroom arrangement allows for storage of additional materials that student would need to use but they are stored in a closet out of the way and not causing a lot of clutter to the classroom. Also, additional resources are on the front table and that is a cluttered area but mostly used just to store students work and projects. As with the first and second tips this one too allows for students to be able to get a good view of presentations because all the students are facing the front of the room and it would be obvious for the teacher to be able to determine if the students in the audience were not focused on the presentation. Overall, this classroom arrangement seems very proficient and reasonable. 

This alternative classroom arrangement partly agrees with the teaching style of the classroom teacher but it also does not work well. It works well with group activities and allows students to see each other and in that class their is a lot of interaction between the peers, however it does not allow the student in some areas (like the row of desks facing in the circle) to see the projector. This room arrangement does allow for students to move around easily for the most part, the only difficulty is the area between the student desk and the storage. That area does not leave much room to walk behind those students without tripping over their bags or belongings and there isn't any room next to their chairs to put their stuff. Teacher is easily accessible and seen from almost all the students except those in the middle (and maybe a few of them near the teachers desk) because it has those students with their backs away from him or the students in the middle facing the front of the classroom. This structure is the same as the first one in terms of storage and it works well for the classroom because all the materials are out of the way and not adding any more clutter to the classroom. It works well for presentations for all the students except the row of desks that are facing in towards the middle of the classroom because they can't even see the wall where the screen is being projected.
