Notas do Editor
- In preparation for our first year as a 1-to-1 iPad school
- This year we added two more chairs and four ottomans. Chair with repositionable tablet arm is $1500, ottoman is $575. Cup holder is $100 extra!
- Sometimes it’s hard to see beyond what you already have.
- The original plan—three learning walls.
- You can see how the learning wall on the right (behind the teacher) would have been useless. And as one astute faculty member pointed out, the “V” behind the jointed learning walls is prime territory for collecting tossed items, with no way to remove them!
- We tested out multiple chairs and this one was the clear winner. I was surprised—I almost didn’t bring in any tablet arm chairs based on my past experience with them—but I learned a lesson: furniture designs change! This one is comfortable, functional and removes the need for tables, especially in small spaces. Every teacher at Dana Hall wants these in the classroom now!
- Instead of five (the MS was originally slated for two), we ended up with one. This was partly due to budget reductions but it ended up being a good thing. The library classroom is too small to accommodate them, even minus the flared ends. It was a new idea for the Whalen Berez Group, the company I worked with, and they knocked themselves out to get it right..
- It took eight months to get to this finished product. First we did the programming—what what was this going to used for and by who? what features did it have to have?—followed by a preliminary drawing (what you saw a few minutes ago), followed by tweaks, a construction drawing, more tweaks, a mock-up, then the final product assembled on site. Main concerns were function, aesthetics and stability. It is heavier than we would like it to be, but even if someone does pull-ups from the top, this won’t tip. We tried it.
- SPARQ = Solving Problems Asking Real-World Questions. 575 students is PK-8.
