Last year, I had a massive teacher desk that looked like this at the beginning of the day:
and like this at the end of the day:I also had 27 students cramped in my room and this desk took up so much space. Even though I'll only have 17 students this year, I wanted to open up the space in my classroom. So, I'm going deskless this school year.
I've traded my monster-of-a-desk in for this little laptop docking station:
My old desk held A LOT of stuff, so I've had to organize my supplies in a cabinet in my room. I was a little nervous about going deskless at first, but I knew I wanted more space, I wanted to be more organized, and I wanted the classroom to seem more student-centered.
I've researched this concept online and have read about several teachers giving up their desks. Most have said positive things about this change and actually recommend it! I look forward to seeing how this works for me. Has anyone else out there gone deskless? How did it work for you?
