Hi! I like your srticle and I would like very much to read some more information on this issue. Will you post some more?

Nicki,

It was great to see your team solution for the classroom of the future at the AFH meeting Thursday night. The classroom in a shipping container was very creative and the presentation looked sharp.

It was terrific to hear all four Indy entries made it through round one of the judging! Good luck to your team and to the others.

It will be interesting to hear the Project School’s reaction to the ideas AFH developed. See you soon…

What a great project to collaborate with kids & teachers to come up with ideas to help solve their obstacles. Looks great! Good luck with your design submission.

Janet,

We also worked on this competition and found it a great way to give back to the community. Your project looks like your team put a lot of effort and hard work into it! Great innovative ideas! I look forward to hearing more about it at tonight’s meeting!

Hopefully one of our teams from the AFH Indiana Chapter will be a finalist! Good luck to your team!

Great info – I had no idea that there was such a great need for classrooms. Your design submission looks great – good luck!

Janet,

congratulations on a design that is very impressive! I know that this project is such a great way for you to demostrate your natural creativity and to give back to the community as well! Well done! and I wish you well in the competition.

The team appears to be a very innovative group of people. Good luck on your challenge!

Donna, Yes technology is a key ingredient in the Classroom of the future and while the first phase of the Project School did not include wireless technology I am sure this will come in the future.

The storage modules all have specific functions,such as the teachers desk module, the listening corner, information center, etc. One unit houses tack boards and marker boards that flip out to create mobile visual display space. The school has a noise issue so the backs of the units are designed with acoustical panels to help buffer the sound.

Thanks for the encouraging words!

What a wonderful and fun project! And great collaboration amongst the entire team! Great job!

Janet:
First, I wanted to applaud you for sending out your first official BLOG … way to go, JT. Secondly, you should be complemented for sharing your wonderful news about what you and your Team have embarked upon. I can’t think of a more worthwhile and deserving project to work on than something relating to the educational welfare and well being of our children … so as to provide them with a brighter and “greener” future. Your group’s collaboration with primary & secondary school teachers is also noteworthy. Having seen your previous design & artwork on projects as well as your innovative vision, I would expect to hear only good news from your Challenge results. Good luck on the competition!
Sincerely,
Gary

The collaboration with the students and staff is so important to understand where this community is going with education. I like the solution of the movable storage wall. The use of technology in the space will be vital in the success of the space. Do you have wireless technology in the classroom?

Is the back wall a surface that you can write on?

Good luck on the Classroom Challenge Project…
