HG.52 In the storage room HG.53 paint a wall green for Green screening for assessments. More education classes in these room for the students to become more proficient on smart boards as we are expected to know this when we enter the work place. Having dividers available to split the rooms. The space is great for activities in the lesson and for group assignments. Education students need more classes in these classrooms!!!!!

 * P || Describe your Photograph || I wanted to show the items that are used the most! White Board + Smart Board ||
 * H || What is Happening in your photograph || Use of the Smart Board and white board ||
 * O || Why did you take a photograph Of this? || Because the white boards placed around the room are very handy when discussing ideas. The smart boards are moveable so the space works well. ||
 * T || What does this photograph Tell us about the space? || The desks are great because they can be moved when needed. ||
 * O || How can this photograph provide Opportunities for us to improve the space? || People are able to interact during tutorials and lectures by easily moving around. Being able to sit in groups each time helps promote discussion, which helps deeper understanding. ||

Having had many tutorials and lectures in this room I find the advantages as such: 1. Plenty of space therefore suitable for diverse range of group work, collaborative learning and even "team-building" type activities. 2. Flexible seating arrangements. 3. Two projectors. 4. Numerous Whiteboards* Easy access to toilets, brasserie and car park. //**This is the Best learning space I have ever had the pleasure of studying in.**//

**Academic staff response**
 * P || Describe your Photograph || The photo shows a corner of the room set up for the tutorial. There are notice boards to display student work so as to model a primary classroom, there is the white board so that the group can summarise their findings and have their notes ready for whole class discussions afterwards. The tables and chairs are easily and quietly moved so that students can move them so that the group can participate in the activities. We now have lots of resources that are useful in a primary maths classroom so that the pre-service teachers can experience using them. There are plaenty of table sand room so that there is room for the resources to be spread out and still have room for students books, laptops, drink bottles etc. ||
 * H || What is Happening in your photograph || This is a break in the tutorial the students have popped out for coffee. ||
 * O || Why did you take a photograph Of this? || The photo indicates the flexibility of the learning space. There is room for lots of resources so that the students don't have to pack each activitiy away until the end. This helps them to go back to activitiend make connections between different resources e.g. measure capacity with the rice and then compare with the volume. ||
 * T || What does this photograph Tell us about the space? || This is telling us that the pre-service teachers USc to learn how to teach maths constructively. There are lots of resources to help develop understanding,ole play and experiment in the small group situation (there are 8 white boards in the room sothere could be 8 different groups). They can use the notice boards ons of the room into classrooms. There are also 2 smartboards that they can experiment with how to use in a classroom. ||
 * O || How can this photograph provide Opportunities for us to improve the space? || This then provides us with oppotunities to improve maths teaching . Pre-service teachers who have experienced this pedagogy and have actually done the activities ggin to enjoy maths. This helps them to overcome their maths anxiety. This will lead to an improvement in their attitude to maths as they are no longer frightened. This means they should be using a much more engaging and student centred pedagogy in their future classrooms. Maybe I should do some Pd with the local primary teachers? ||
 * || What is missing from this photograph? || The students are missing from the photograph - coffee called. ||
