Uh, Oh - so this is what I have to work with…
AND MORE OF THIS, I’M AFRAID…
ROWS AND ROWS AND LINE AFTER LINE…
THIS REALLY STRESSES ME OUT
…like, uh, really
MAYBE IF I TRY REAL HARD…
So what to do?
LET’S DO THIS:
Since boardrooms & other meeting rooms double as training classrooms…
START WITH A LARGE GROUP DISCUSSION SPACE
Start with this
To create something like this
Room to see, stand or sit – a little bit of everything for kinesthetic and spacial people
Good for talking to your neighbour too (hello pair work!)
EVEN BETTER IF IT COMES APART
Interpersonal & linguistic,
with a bit of kinesthetic & spatial thrown in for good measure
NOW FOR SOME SOCIAL, COLLABORATIVE INTERACTION
SMALL GROUPS CAN ACCOMPLISH BIG THINGS
spatial
tactile
linguistic
visual
Logical/mathmatic
al
interpersonal
existential(?)
