Flex the Physical Environment

An ideal physical learning environment is, most importantly, flexible in function and form.  So, furnishings should be able to be moved around and reconfigured easily, work surfaces would be variable for different needs (stand-up desks, walkstations, exercise balls for seating, etc.), and wireless computer access would make cords less of a hindrance. Even teachers who desire to flex learning spaces are hampered by the heaviness and bulk of desk/chair combinations and the fixed nature of some technology.
