@oldandrewuk @natkin @davidhunter @Primary_Ed

It's 8pm. Time for #UKedchat with @danielharvey9. Topic: Tips to make your classroom environment a truly amazing place for learning. #ukedchat Ok we are off. What makes your classroom a special inspiring place to learn? What do you look for when you go visiting? #ukedchat what ideas have you seen that really make think - BOOM!! That's ace I am doing that (apologies for atrocious English) My classroom is totally covered in work the students have generated. It is their space, made by them, for them. #ukedchat #ukedchat My classroom used to have desks in rows. That was great until OFSTED did me for it. @fod3 @ukedchat Pls retweet this with #ukedchat Head on over to @ukedchat where they're now discussing amazing learning environments! #UKedchat #NQTchat Going straight out there with it...I think every primary classroom should have a world map to give a context? #ukedchat make it ur own - u have 2 spend a lot of time in the room so make it a room that motivates u (aswell as the students) #ukedchat @oldandrewuk What did they say Andrew? #ukedchat #ukedchat my iPad, air server and use as a portable visualizer Classroom displays should celebrate, stimulate & scaffold! #ukedchat #edchat @oldandrewuk #ukedchat and how have you changed? @danielharvey9 I have worked on my room based on the philosophy that I want to learn/be in the room so might the students #ukedchat Tell us about your best ever school trip. It can be one you went on as a child or as a #teacher #ukedchat #ukedchat My new classroom for next year has a "naughty seat". A desk where I can put a student out of the way of the others. Pretty cool. #ukedchat students work that makes you go wow! #ukedchat oh yeah and all my lovely puppets who like to sit with children who try their best @ukedchat Loads of tips and ideas for effective diplays in and out of the classroom.

http://www.davidsmawfield.com/assets/img/classroomdisplay-handbook.pdf #ukedchat #edchat My favourite piece of window art #ukedchat Awakening revision window http://wp.me/p12Kh9-jy via @mrpeel #UKedchat @danielharvey9 I also need access to all parts of the room - must for behaviour management. Visual learn ears love this set-up @fod3 I really agree with this! You have to spend more time in there than them - if you don't feel positive, why should they? #UKedchat #ukedchat I've gone for a minions theme this year! @davidhunter but what about the environment as opposed to gadgets #ukedchat Try to be careful not to overload children with too much information - blank space on walls is also valuable in some ways! #ukedchat @rlj1981 absolutely agree #UKedchat I have integrated a literacy wall of key theoretical terms, and QR codes to extension work. Boom? All student generated. #ukedchat @LauraLolder Absolutely and if it doesn't motivate you, how will it motivate the kids? #ukedchat #ukedchat question wall is a must #UKedchat sorry all have to dip it at this early stage. Have fun. Looking forward to seeing all the pics @danielharvey9 that is the environment. I no longer stand at the board. I am one of the class when I want to be. #ukedchat #UKedchat I have separate areas for lit and for num displays. So the kids know for lit help, look left, num help, look right. Classroom at 6th form is arranged in grouped tables and SOLO stations. Guide on the side and all that..... #ukedchat @rlj1981 Literacy is such an important area - key words and connectives to extend writing is so important #ukedchat #UKedchat loved QR codes until school van on phones rendered them less than useful... My own books and choice of posters with stnt work. @thechrissyt program to mirror iPad onto the iwb. Totally changes the environment #ukedchat

@danielharvey9 where children have clear ownership & influence, where space is used to inspire, relax and invigorate learning! #UKedchat #ukedchat a classroom that changes frequently and is connected to the topics being studied. @danielharvey9 a 'Think Tank' pupil led independent learning area, I have one and the children adore it! #ukedchat for maths, I have toolkits for children with eg. hundred squares, beadstrings, dice, calculators, mirrors etc #ukedchat Working walls and visual displays that support children in their work. Writing at eye level too #UKedchat #ukedchat I have live displays - eg kids can add wow words on post-its. #ukedchat My walls are covered with blood, sweat and tears. The cleaners hate me. @natkin which can mean not the BEST work, but work that is the BEST they can do #UKedchat Going for a "level washing line" this year. Each student has own peg and ownership of progressing up the line. #UKedchat @danielharvey9 wall for them to put their own questions on - post its or white board #ukedchat Don't be afraid to let it SCREAM learning- mix of work-inprogress / interactive feedback wall plus more permanent expectations #ukedchat #ukedchat hopefully lots of ideas here http://anewhoffod.wordpress.com/ @danielharvey9 ok well mixed ability teams of four is great #ukedchat planned with HA, HM (high medium), LM and LA Oops, please remember to use the #ukedchat tag folks please. Missing some great tweets otherwise :-/ #UKedchat I'm having a 'proud wall': just clothes pegs glued to ribbon for our best work #nurtureclassroom Oh one last thing before I go #UKedchat - want to try aurasma app this year in class looks awesome. @joedale knows more about it than me @gillski22 I had a countdown display last year. V interactive and kids loved it! #ukedchat @with_ict @thechrissyt with the program called air server

#ukedchat #UKedchat make the displays interactive and a teaching tool. I have a take and replace homework question board using post its Brains take subconscious cues from their classroom environment. Little whistles for mental butlers. >> http://www.sparkyteaching.com/creative/whistling-for-themental-butler/ #ukedchat #ukedchat a board where students can stick post it notes and feedback answer key plenary questions and be reflective. @with_ict @gillski22 like the countdown display idea #UKedchat @with_ict @gillski22 #ukedchat any pics of this? @rlj1981 Wow - what amazing things they have been doing or thinking rather than work quality #UKedchat not just stuff with fewest mistakes #UKedchat regarding working walls, has anyone had any problems with ofsted criticising it for being messy? @with_ict so they could make their own words? You got a pic? #UKedchat @ShelDunne have a look at @fod3 's blog - amazing secondary classroom, right up your street! #UKedchat @fullonlearning love this. Process valued. Am make part of the physical environment. Love. #UKedchat @danielharvey9 @ReflectorApp I suppose so. My desk is now just one of the children's tables #hotseating #ukedchat #ukedchat a wall of fame capturing students in action, doing brilliant work. #ukedchat Tried an interactive display using QR codes to link to student blogs last term. Worked well. Want to expand to Aurasma next An amazing classroom has a teacher that leads a shared vision and goal with kids and support staff #UKedchat @scjmcd @joedale do it do it DO IT!!! It's brilliant and really easy to use, you can make you posters or displays talk!! #UKedchat #ukedchat displays that showcase great work but also tells the class why that work is so great - how it meets criteria etc. @Sarah__wright1 @danielharvey9 Have one too!

every topic, leads philosophy 4 children, provides extension questions #UKedchat #ukedchat I do think too cluttered is a mistake. I've been in classes that I'm sure f I listen hard ill hear actual noise coming from walls @fod3 & displaying good behaviour #ukedchat #ukedchat Thanks for that Start. Any examples of real impact from changes you made to the classroom? Love that quote from @fullonlearning (on display etc): Don't be afraid to let your classroom scream "LEARNING!!!" #ukedchat Displays come alive with @Aurasma app: http://wp.me/p1XKqn-5f #ukedchat @rlj1981 @scjmcd @joedale Sounds awesome :-) #UKedchat #ukedchat ran out of wall space to display different levels so time for washing lines/ ribbon with work attached! Use ALL of the space! Communication for all and between all is key #UKedchat #UKedchat an empty tree that students will fill with 'kindness leaves'. Perfect for a Nurture classroom. @ShelDunne @danielharvey9 The children love it, great evidence of learning and fosters independence, wouldn't be without it now! #UKedchat @rlj1981 @joedale just waiting for our wifi to go in #ukedchat. Doesn't reach my room #poorpowys. Then all systems go #UKedchat progress map London underground style with individual student designed avatars laminated and moved along over course of lesson. @ukedchat @danielharvey9 #UKedchat opportunities for challenge around and chances to work in a variety of groups/ environments @danielharvey9 Rows and a seating plan tend to do the job. #ukedchat Speaking as a TA, I would prefer rows. I think children get too distracted when they sit in groups, especially if they've SEN. #UKedchat Oops am going to be late - bye for now #UKedchat Going to start a' best piece of work' space for each child. They then try to get a new, better piece on. #ukedchat @LorraineAbbott7 That sounds amazing #ukedchat

@danielharvey9 #UKedchat I rearranged tables to have some groups, some for kids to sit alone. Letting them choose themselves really helped. @danielharvey9 a visual reading 'race' that tracks home reading had a huge impact last year,children were so excited by it! #UKedchat @Zappar App - Augmented reality in Science: http://wp.me/p1XKqn-47 #ukedchat @ukedchat 'when you are in this classroom, you are..' Display on front door. Use anything eg a historian, an author etc #UKedchat Anyone had any joy with interactive displays or digital photo frames? #ukedchat @natkin celebrate mistakes- is part of learning. Who gets it right first time? No need to idolise perfection on our walls #ukedchat #copy #startup app to store, protect and share amazing things in the cloud #edtech20 #pln http://pinterest.com/pin/239957486369096762/ #ukedchat #edchat #tlchat If you are an English teacher you can't be without @LauraLolder APP bunting - amazing! #UKedchat Vital to ask students what areas/ displays they find useful...use their ideas to co-design space. Purpose of display needs clarity #UKedchat I have a very nice chair at my desk, left by a colleague when he moved on @Adrian_Hilton #ukedchat @ukedchat @danielharvey9 #UKedchat also used a reward wall last year with daily awards and weekly award pictures up! Parents loved it! Blank frames for students to put their work into and others to critique during a 'gallery' session.#UKedchat Huge interactive Periodic Table - Wall Display - #TES http://www.tes.co.uk/teaching-resource/Huge-interactivePeriodic-Table-Wall-Display6314723/#.Ug0oo45ePT8.twitter #ukedchat #UKedchat retractable washing line is a great tool in class #ukedchat displays have to be interactive - learning aids that can be constantly referred to and used to enhance performance RT @gavinsmart: Displays come alive with @Aurasma app: http://goo.gl/10m3qp #ukedchat A master illusionist

is our Gavin @Sarah__wright1 @danielharvey9 #UKedchat do you gave a picture? Sounds a great idea "@gavinsmart: Displays come alive with @Aurasma app: http://wp.me/p1XKqn-5f #ukedchat" love it #UKedchat think its important to remember that if displays arent used / changed regularly, they just become wallpaper. @natkin @zappar It is ace and kids just go WOW #ukedchat Planning and getting ready for the use of tablets - The experience of Dixons City Academy #edtech #ukedchat #edchat @AmyG2191 Really like this idea #UKedchat To encourage/ remind/celebrate/model/record/value process etc & rotate display according to different purpose #UKedchat @fullonlearning include classroom design as part of collaborate planning. It is THEIR space. Agreed. #UKedchat @Mad_teach ofsted liked our working writers' walls because although incomplete chn used the display to progress in lesson #UKedchat @ASTsupportAAli I think has an extension area with resources - Looks brilliant! #UKedchat Join the other 225 educators who receive the #UKedchat bulletin at http://ukedchat.us7.listmanage1.com/subscribe? u=e97344da33f46a7dbb6f16fe4&id=ec47899e39 to stay up to date with the best of the hashtag. #ukedchat displaying the names of students who are meeting targets but who are also making excellent effort is important #UKedchat 'PIE' purpose board (Persuade, Inform, Entertain) for literacy- kids make pies from paper plates. @rlj1981 as someone highly imperfect myself I agree #UKedchat Enlarged an essay we were using as a prompt and made an entrance into the room out of it - got noticed #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/uRIu088qb7 Enlarged an essay we were using as a prompt and made an entrance into the room out of it - got noticed #ukedchat

@fod3 Awww shucks, you're making me blush #UKedchat #ukedchat I used to have a display with relevant keywords and pictures. Also integrating extension task and question walls this year #ukedchat Step away from boring backing paper - use wrapping paper and scene setters to jazz boards up as well as props! Whiteboard markers on the Windows is very cool IMO #ukedchat My ideas for teaching the pioneers of computing http://bit.ly/12k7bRm #EdChat #ictcurric #UKedchat #Education #compsci #EdTech #ukedchat Keep it fresh, fab and funky - everything to hand so students can take ownership of their learning. Confidence to make mistakes! Create a fail safe environment. We blogged about it: http://www.sparkyteaching.com/creative/fail-safeclassroom/ and hashtagged a ton of quotes and pics with #FailSafe #ukedchat #UKedchat create a 6x6 plenary wall plus resource folders to use with whole class, at ANY point in a lesson. Giant dice roll to select #UKedchat me in room c50 UCGS. From TES article last year. My room. pic.twitter.com/XRmHXTSWT0 @fullonlearning essential thinking Zoe #ukedchat @natkin we all are, but working to be better. Really think our classrooms should celebrate effort not perfection #UKedchat @danielharvey9 @zappar It is limited as it is produced by them. Would be ace to have an education category!! #ukedchat RT @AmyG2191: Blank frames for students to put their work into and others to critique during a 'gallery' session.#UKedchat Thats cool @LauraLolder agreed. Plus windows!! And ceiling!! #UKedchat #ukedchat easiest interactive display ever...Countdown. Works great. Word and number challenges. Use with whole class/grps n 1st finishers Label everything, zone, resource well, pay attention to detail, celebrate all children, have a BEAUTIFUL book corner, personalise.#ukedchat

Got noticed #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/JQCzSiJ2WI @danielharvey9 #ukedchat I tend to use corridors more to celebrate their learning and keep classroom for helpful displays. @danielharvey9 if a corridor display doesn't make a child want to stop, look at it and investigate it,change it! Have wonderwalls!#UKedchat @davidhunter @gillski22 #ukedchat Lots of teachers use the windows to write on as well @danielharvey9 Have to share my amazing corridor @shadrictoop produced based on TES top 100 #UKedchat pic.twitter.com/hsNjWT8o1y #ukedchat If we allowed pupils to use phones in school I would try a QR code scavenger hunt in corridors I urge every teacher to start this project with their new class, a great reflective tool http://mrparkinsonict.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/one-secondeveryday-positive-impact-on.html?m=1 @ukedchat #UKedchat @gavinsmart @zappar yeah, would really help in our school with so many EAL too #UKedchat #UKedchat how old is too old for role play area???

@Mat6453 Defo! Awesome idea. WIll have the wow factor but also really help some students. #ukedchat @Nicholls_Dr #byod and #ukedchat sure to be an important topic in the next 6 months. Am carrying out action research into impact of this I like displays that promote curiosity r humours 4 YP 2 relate 2 & imp extend learning dont like good work gallery but c the need #ukedchat @Mad_teach never too old! Role plays are really engaging and effective learning tools at all ages! #ukedchat Personalised purposeful timetables for those children who struggle to follow routines/cope with environment of a full day #UKedchat @danielharvey9 Maths interactive display in corridor. Weights & measures. Had post-its & measuring equipment for chn to answer Qs #UKedchat @gavinsmart: @Mat6453 Defo! Awesome idea. WIll have the wow factor but also really help some students. #ukedchat I think it was your idea! @Sarah__wright1 @danielharvey9 Last year's think tank #UKedchat pic.twitter.com/Azm1vLpR50 #ukedchat I don't actually have my own classroom. I am a railroad hobo of education. Wherever I lay my board marker is my home. @Teachric spending 25hours in these rooms per week we might want to make them more amenable. Thanks for taking part #ukedchat Innovative ways of keeping parents regularly updated on what's going on inside the classroom #UKedchat @SparkyTeaching Really like this #UKedchat #ukedchat we have tv screens showing celebrations of success & what each class is doing as you enter our school. @danielharvey9 #byod #ukedchat Important discussions to be had on this as many privacy and acceptable use issues @Kelli3_J @danielharvey9 have also done interactive maths problem/puzzle displays in corridors, especially where children queue #UKedchat @Mad_teach never too old! You can make it appropriate for all ages. What age do you teach? #UKedchat

#UKedchat I'd avoid things too near the board or even stuck to the board - some children find that really distracting. @rlj1981 @natkin Mistake of the day/week. Kids in my class love it if I make the mistake. Which I often do! #ukedchat Sensory integration and sensory diets- an eye opener for many mainstream schools and a key to learning for many kids #UKedchat @emmahavoc something like http://qrcode.kaywa.com/ but often I let my class make them. #UKedchat Why not quotes? An awesome example is from @amyg2191 at @clevedonschool Simple but very effective #ukedchat pic.twitter.com/VbtO6yPDzS @bexteacher how do u do this? #UKedchat Heres something weve been doing >> Use of Augmented Reality to extend learning / bringing walls to life http://buff.ly/19l0vc1 #ukedchat @tstarkey1212 #ukedchat This is also personal bug bear to me. PLS HELP AT LEAST 2 TEACHERS NEEING IDEAS AS THEY ARE WANDERING MINSTRELS @Mat6453 OK Shotgun!!! #ukedchat #copyright (C) #UKedchat Success Arrow on whiteboards. Kids tell me what they need to do in this lesson and they write it on. pic.twitter.com/4ZbYkp0ElD @danielharvey9 @davidhunter @gillski22 yes! I do this, it's awesome and they love doing it. Tip: don't use glass pens! ; ) #UKedchat Displays should NEVER be flat. The less printed the better. Think 3D. Use chns work & keep it working. Celebrate them. #ukedchat @rlj1981 @emmahavoc A few of my humble QR suggestions http://ictmagic.wikispaces.com/ICT+ %26+Web+Tools+-+Section+4#QR%20Makers%20& %20Readers #ukedchat I'm starting first #EYFS in Sept. Classroom half done, any tips? #ukedchat Write on glass fronted computer monitors with whiteboard pens. Rubs right off afterwards #UKedchat @ICTmagic @emmahavoc yeh what he says! #UKedchat #ukedchat For the next 2 mins pls can teachers send in ideas for teachers who like me teach in 11 classrooms.

Would really appreciate it @gavinsmart I use some quotes..one of my favs is "no one is as clever as everyone" #ukedchat @danielharvey9 @tstarkey1212 #UKedchat have you found the temporary white board material that sticks to anything? Helpful if peripatetic This is going to come across like a shameless plug. 'Spose it is, but really think our stuff is perfect for #ukedchat http://www.sparkyteaching.com/resources/index.php @ICTEvangelist oh that *is* a great idea. Love it #UKedchat @danielharvey9 #ukedchat Not all those who wander are lost! Have a virtual display space on a blog or Pinterest and have a coridoor board Classrooms should be places where you & your students want to be. Warm, inviting, safe. #geographyteacher #UKedchat pic.twitter.com/vTFuyeuQm2 @davidhunter @danielharvey9 @gillski22 chalk pens come off. Glass pens have to be scraped off. I got in trouble! #UKedchat Does anybody out there just hang beautiful framed photos to inspire instead of backing paper and' useful' displays? #ukedchat Just asdifferentiate work,differentiate how share targets with children so meaningfor all. Sharing targets mustn't be tokenistic #UKedchat #UKedchat am I the only one who loves going to vote cos I can nosy at another schools displays??? @GeographyBurp This is beautiful #UKedchat One of my favourite displays I have made. A set of painted QR codes for a Chinese display https://twitter.com/ICTmagic/status/251964293409566720 #ukedchat @GeographyBurp This looks INCREDIBLE!

Been working on that in construction area. #ukedchat #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist loving the creativity in action at supporting learning in our classrooms. loving the sharing as well. More pics!! @simonehaughey Try the links. They should still work, I think. #ukedchat Wowza!! #sparkyidea MT @ICTmagic Bask in the glory of my Chinese QR code display... it works! #ukedchat http://twitpic.com/azck16 #ukedchat @Nicholls_Dr I'm interested in the effects of a minimalist environment on learning. Perhaps a projected display for each lesson? #ukedchat @danielharvey9 @tstarkey1212 #UKedchat if you have your own classroom - please leave projector plugged in + log out! Drives me nuts. #ukedchat A big thanks to the teachers who have helped me with the second year of no classroom plight. @bexteacher Good idea. New starters nursery, week of learning sitting/tidying/talking/listening. #ukedchat @rlj1981 @davidhunter That is lovely for the framed work David was talking about - love it! #ukedchat

@ukedchat

bodacious! #tonyhartmusic #gallerycritique #ukedchat @nickotkdV I think it makes their learning come alive. Also activities used that relate to topic on table nearby if available. #ukedchat My son, aged seven, just now:"displays should be in the corridor. Then we wouldn't have distractions in the class." #ukedchat @Jivespin #ukedchat I use wordclouds for keyword posters. Also useful to summarise keyideas from student work collated in Googledocs #ukedchat have got some great ideas tonight. Thanks folks! @mberry Excellent philosophy #UKedchat I have lots of models - good line graph, good table, key words etc. for science students to refer to #UKedchat Make some bunting and celebrate some learning and progress http://wp.me/p3pzMr-6J Love this celebrating learning display idea #ukedchat @ShelDunne @thechrissyt @LauraTomkins @fod3 Thankyou lovely people! Available on TES :) #UKedchat @Sarah__wright1 #UKedchat a board to celebrate student work and successes! Just 5 minutes of #ukedchat remain. Final thoughts? #UKedchat Please take into consideration the needs of your SEN pupils who can't cope too many bells and whistles when planning your room. #ukedchat cheers everyone - lots of new ideas! @nickotkdV My maths wall had a pegged number line so SEN used the large nos during gp work. Also 100sq was removable. #ukedchat Using the 80/20 rule, give 20% of your wall space to sts for them to put up what they want. Ownership makes it an amazing space #ukedchat What worked well one year might not the next. Classrooms should always be evolving to reflect individuality of each class #UKedchat @fod3 I love word clouds - so easy to make and such a great way of summarising learning #ukedchat Get the #UKedchat bulletin to stay up to date with topics, posts & view the best links shared on the hashtag. http://ukedchat.us7.list-manage1.com/subscribe? u=e97344da33f46a7dbb6f16fe4&id=ec47899e39

Pigeons are a much-undervalued classroom resource. We see it very much as our role to redress that balance. http://www.sparkyteaching.com/resources/motivational/flyr ight.php #ukedchat Hitler's first speech as Chancellor word cloud http://wp.me/p3pzMr-6T This word cloud came out particularly well for a display #ukedchat Would love to hit 50 followers before the weekend! Can you help? #ukedchat @ICTEvangelist How do you manage that when you teach lots of classes? Not being picky - am curious :-) #ukedchat #UKedchat thanks everyone. Amazing ideas tonight! Corridor PE display for literacy and numeracy #UKedchat pic.twitter.com/bDkhQEJUOL #ukedchat I also use easels for temporsry displays. Have mini ones for tables. Might work if you are in several classrooms @littlestobbsy indeed, as long as it's not too much?! #ukedchat It's 9pm. Huge thanks to @danielharvey9 for hosting tonights #ukedchat. The archive will be at http://ukedchat.com/2013/08/15/session-164/ soon.
