Hi all, After 17 years in the same building, my school is moving to a new location in a couple of months. Language school classrooms tend to be quite similar...

Hi Stuart, what an opportunity. 12 is an extremely modest class size and makes things a lot easier. Here are my thoughts. First off, I would avoid having a...
Hello I really like the idea of the normal whiteboard all around the walls and no desk for the teacher. As long as the chairs are comfortable and can be...
I'd modify Luke's idea re: whiteboards. Although it's nice I think there also needs to be space for things to be pinned to the wall, so I'd have some areas...
Good point, Adrian. And if the whiteboards are magnetic, the pinning can be done with magnet clips or small round magnets. --Julian ... [Non-text portions of...
Prompted by a quote of mine from Andrew Wright to the effect that learning can be more effective when teaching is not focused on the matter to be learned, Hala...
Fascinating Dennis, thanks for the link. Cheers Russ _____ From: dogme@yahoogroups.com [mailto:dogme@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Newson Sent: 06 March...
Not sure what the three question marks are for Luke, maybe Stuart already asked the students - but it's a good question. Just by limiting class size to 12 one...
Hallo, I agree with all that has been suggested, but if there are going to be 8 or 9 classrooms, I would make one of them a self accessed IT/Internet centre. ...
Hi... As someone who sits in an Internet Room used by students for many hours a week, can I suggest we "forget" to buy a printer...? The easier it is to print,...
May I just ask whether there is any objection to replacing at least one of the whiteboards with an interactive whiteboard and a few tablet PCs for the students...
And I thought "teaching unplugged" meant no excessive technological aparatus, a "return to basics".... What can we say to teachers in the third world about...
Hi Stuart and everyone, I like how you get to design your own classes, a blessing!! And to all of you, I like each and every idea. About those white boards...
NB: This is an edited version of a recent post sent by Luke Meddings. Hi Celso I think you make a really good point here. I was reading on the Guardian site...
... My post was originally a query about possible objections to an IWB and tablet PCs. You ask what we would say to teachers in the "third world", but the...
Diarmuid, I don't think any of us need to get tied up in knots about being dogme or undogme in what is recommended as long as we always centre on learning. ...
If I was able to design a school in London: there would be a large library...large as in many books, if rooms were in short supply. Students would be able to...

Very sorry if I did misunderstand, Diarmuid. You know how it is on discussion lists, though. If you enjoy them and profit from them, as I do, it can happen...
Diarmuid, Don't forget, even the Great Scott communicates with the list by email, which means he has a PC, or even a laptop at his disposal. As for the...
Celso It is an international discussion list. I hope you don't feel that I have tried to deny your right to discuss anything. The fact that I replied to your...
Hi Dennis Now we're in harmony! And I think that Celso has caught the essence of the dogme spirit. Personally, I think that this is more important that the...
