Classroom Food for Thought
Exciting changes are underway in learning spaces everywhere! Elsewhere on this University of Minnesota OCM Web site, you will find recent developments in U of M classroom technology, facilities, scheduling, support, planning and projects.
Below you will find links to other recent developments, issues, pedagogy, and potential resources. These are included here as dialog-starters with those who are interested in our U of M general purpose classrooms. Inclusion on this list does not constitute an endorsement. If you have a recommended addition, please let us know. If you have a question, recommendation or thought on any facet of classrooms, please use the OCM Comment form to e-mail us. We appreciate your contribution and value your input!
