<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I currently work/teach in a room with computers around the wall and tables in the middle. Over the coming few months this will all be pulled apart to become a room for another faculty in the school, and as a result I will be given an empty
classroom to redesign into a new IT classroom/lab. The room I will be taking over is fairly large and is rectangular in shape. I am interested to know of anyone that has a classroom that they love to teach their IT classes in (or classrooms that have been
complete disasters) and if so, are they willing to share the design concept with me?<o:p></o:p></p>
