My Students

My students all come into the classroom with ideas and visions of how to make their learning the best it can be. So in our classroom, we operate with a mindset of personalizing our learning by having flexible and varied seating options.

My students need eight Portable Lap Desk/Laptop Stand/Writing Table.

With these desks, students will have flexible seating every day, allowing them to change their location and positions as needed.

I love seeing my students participate in personalized learning by choosing their desired learning path and finding areas in the room where they feel they can do their best work. With the different learning styles of my students, these laptop desks will offer another way for them to stay engaged throughout our busy day! Flexible seating options encourage my students to create their very own effective and collaborative learning environment and put their 21st Century skills into​ practice.

My Project

Portable lap desk will allow students to choose where they work,​ with whom to work with, and a comfortable position to work on. It will make it easy to change their location and positions as needed, giving students choices about their physical classroom space to teach higher-order thinking skills.

Flexible seating encourages students to find their best spot to stay calm, focused and productive.

Comfortable students are engaged students. Flexible seating allows students to quickly and easily pair up, work in small groups, or discuss as a whole class.

Our classroom environment is designed to be conducive to open collaboration, communication, creativity, and critical thinking. The results – a more active, engaged, enthusiastic, and relaxed room of students.
