Classroom Design Programs http://www.4teachers.org/ Outline Your Classroom Floor Plan For students, the classroom environment is very important. The size of the classroom and
interior areas, the colors of the walls, the type of furniture and flooring, the amount of light, and
the room arrangement all influence how students learn. Thoughtful arrangement of the indoor
and outdoor environments will support your learning goals for students.This tool provides an
opportunity for experimentation with the layout of your classroom without any heavy lifting!
To use this tool:
1. Select the basic dimensions of the room from the Room Dimensions dropdowns.
2. Drag objects to the grid from the Items bar, or draw in your own objects with the Draw bar.
Arrows will allow you to change the position of some items. Delete an object by dragging it to
the trashcan at the bottom, or by clicking 'delete' on your keyboard.
3. Print out your classroom creation, or save it and start a new one. The floor plans are saved
to a cookie on your computer and can only be viewed on this computer. If you want to store a
floor plan for your records please print it out.
http://floorplanner.com/ This is a really cool site and it seems easy to work with. Although it's targeted
more towards residential and commercial layouts, you can still easily plan a
classroom. You do have to sign up to make a plan, but it you only need to make
one, then it might be worth it. Unless you plan on working for HGTV, then no
need to purchase. In this platform, you can actually turn things the way you want
and it has an impressive gallery of furniture to choose from.... plus things are
based on actual measurements and not guessing. What a concept! Using actual
measurements to plan!?
