Beyond Computer Desks—SMARTdesks Shows Exchange Collaboration Furniture at School & College Building Expo, Chicago Navy Pier, April 12-13, 2011

Sat, 02 Apr 2011 07:00:00 GMT

Universities are clamoring for Exchange(™) Collaboration Furniture because the modular system lets different table shapes be assembled from the same Exchange Element(™). Different shapes promote the flow of human interaction, and these shapes can be chosen based on the types of team building appropriate to the pedagogy of the collaborative teaching style, blended with the use of lecture. The computer tables are multi-use, designed with flipIT® for computer desks or flipIT Laptop Safe® for Laptop Tables. SMARTdesks® offers classroom interior design floor plans as part of its online collaboration with customers at no additional cost or obligation.

SMARTdesks Launches Exchange™ Collaboration Furniture for Collaborative Learning Classrooms

Thu, 17 Mar 2011 07:00:00 GMT

In answer to universities’ demand for furniture to support a new paradigm in education—collaborative learning studios—SMARTdesks® announces the launch of Exchange™ Collaboration Furniture— a conference table system that permits different collaboration shapes to be configured using unique modular table elements. Progressive universities are creating collaborative learning studios to enable faculty to make the transition from “sage on the stage” to “guide on the side.” Instructors are becoming more than a delivery system of knowledge, becoming architects of intellectual experiences involving interaction, understanding of differences, consensus building and the achievement of common goals. Collaborative learning requires an environment for talking. Learning is inherently social. It is in talking that much of the learning occurs (Golub, 1988).The standard arrangement of furniture in rows with students facing forward are giving way to furniture that permits small groups of two to six to work together with a positive flow of exchange.

Classroom Design Included from SMARTdesks ASID Certified Interior Design Team

Mon, 22 Nov 2010 14:15:00 GMT

SMARTdesks adds interior design value for schools, colleges, universities and corporate training environments. Using the SMARTdesks web site as its portal, customers request design by describing their mission objectives, teaching methods, technology requirements and physical space. This starts a dialog with the SMARTdesks Design Center. Classroom layouts, in the form of CAD drawings which specify the furniture and locations for power and data in the space, support the architectural mission. Architects and technology integrators may also be the primary contacts for the client in driving the design process.
