Desks

the students often so many of the desk as in pairs, which also saves a little space in the room. The room has two windows, but the building is very shaded so not a lot of natural sunlight comes in. There are both fluorescent and track lighting in the room, the track lighting is much softer and is used more often. One of the other weaknesses that I noted was that the projector for the smart board sits on the kidney-shaped table. This greatly limits how the desks can be arranged. I would want to…

period class, which is fifty-five minutes long. One student has learning disabilities, and another is an ELL student. My classroom is in the Jr. High wing at the north end of the building. There are thirty desks in five groups of six within my classroom space. My desk and computer desk are in the back corner of my room. There are two large whiteboards on the front and side walls and I have a projector hanging from the ceiling. We use a standards-based-curriculum as the educational…

3 YEARS PREVIOUS Patches of grey light twinkled in through the dusty blinds. Dark blue, sheer curtains lazily swept over them. Papers upon papers lay littered around the room. They lied on the unmade bed, the unvacuumed floor, and the little desk next to the door. They were under piles of unwashed clothes and stuck in-between text-books from the local college. None of the papers were blank, but scattered with tatters of poetry. Each writing was on a receipt, a menu, a corner of a paper, a gum…

But while interviewing Mrs. Taylor, one of my English teachers from High School, I was intrigued by the different methods, activities, and even the classroom environment. During this day I took the time to spend a day on the teacher’s side of the desk and see what I can learn from someone in the profession, and might I say I was exceptionally impressed. To start off the first period of Freshman English class, Mrs. Taylor has an inspirational quote up for students to write about. They simply…

Strawberry Studios, a stones throw from the TPi office in Stockport, and one of the few UK recording spaces outside of the nations capital, opened its doors for a year-long 50th anniversary tour, and open-days featuring a range of original recording fixtures at Mondiale Publishing. Since its inception in early 1968, Strawberry Studios has been the recording space for a range of big names, such as Paul McCartney, Neil Sedaka, and the Stone Roses, to name but a few of the artists, who recorded at…

fixated on the bottom drawer to her antique desk, late forties or early fifties. What lies in the bottom drawer is a device so powerful—no—so dangerous, that it had to be hidden once it reach completion. It's been many years since she dared to gaze upon the device in fear of someone with nefarious intentions stumbles upon its dwelling place. Falling to her knees, she ignores the burning of her nose as she stirs up dust and cobwebs, and reaches for the desk handle, inching it open just enough for…

I completed The ViualDNA Who Am I Quiz?. This quiz was based on the Big Five personality traits:openness, agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism. The Big 5 model is a taxonomy of personality traits that helps to identify people’s descriptions, or rating, of one another (Srivastava, 2015). The model was used by early trait psychologist, such as Cattell and Fiske. It is important to note that the Big Five Model is characterized to the extreme ends. For example, when…

The summer of my senior year I made the courageous decision to begin the first steps in my future career and give my time to a local hospital. Like any other day, I walked in to this sterile smelling hospital and sat at the front desk patiently waiting to greet new visitors. All throughout the hospital there were little kids yelling, elderly people holding hands, and families talking about their loved ones. It was around 7:00 pm when my partner and I were just about done delivering gifts to…

with another personal experience where I, too, felt this defilement of mental power in another claustrophobic attack. A dark and nerve-wracking space didn’t consume me like under the couch, but in this claustrophobic moment, I was merely sitting at my desk thinking about the next day. A new…

Take a look at a typical elementary classroom, there are blank walls, straight rows of desks, and the teacher's podium is place at the front of the room to show ownership or authority. That is it. Now take a look at a 20th century schoolhouse classroom. It has the same basic feel to it as the classroom from today has. With the changing of our culture and technologies, there needs to be a change in our classroom settings as well. The room should be fun and inviting with bright colored walls and…
