Ø What do you think of this Experimental Classroom?
Well designed and Highly technology integrated.
Everyone should be impressed by this experimental classroom for it differs from traditional classroom
greatly. The style of tables and ceiling and the color it choose really refresh the learners.I'm tired of the
classrooms designed for science students or arts students, which are quite boring and no innovation.Science students also need some creative enviroment to study.

I'd like to list some disadvantages from my point of view on this experimental classroom
- Since there is no discussion forum, this large classroom makes communication inconvenient and inefficient in face to face session. Like I am still unfamiliar with my classmates who always sit downstairs.
- The equipment and support for getting online sometimes distract my mind.
By the way, the temperature in this classroom is too low to be active.
Good points. I am also reading that forums are a part of the new digital classroom:

I found some software that would make it easy for a forum to be held during the class: the professor or assistant could monitor it and support us.

I would love to teach in a classroom like this. However it requires a confident and positive teacher who is not afraid to move around. I know quite a few teachers who could not adapt to an environment like this room and that is sad.
