What is included in these rooms should be included in classrooms today, after all this is 21st Century technology. However, the problem we face is that many of us are teaching in old buildings, classrooms that are locked in leaving children with no room to move let alone space to learn. Technology is moving rapidly but budget increases and school designs are not. I can see your point.

I'd be spending money on projectors plus either visualizers or wireless slates. Surely such a re-allocation of funds is possible? :-) Another ‘take-away’ that I didn’t mention above is that it now seems pretty pointless to me putting interactive whiteboards into classroom and expecting changes in teaching and learning.

I was glad that I was invited down. Strange to think that this may indeed be what is in most classrooms in 2020. Somehow think we should be looking *further* than this... No problem!

The photos definitely show a classroom design that I and any class of students would embrace with enthusiasm and excitement. Thanks for post.

Pity that, as a cash-poor private school where we are constantly behind the times IT-tech-wise (and a bit stuck in the 19th century teaching-style-wise at times too), they may have to remain something I look at on others blogs rather than in my classroom!
